Went on vacation and I came back to this pothos cutting’s THIRD baby leaf. No clue why it’s not pushing out roots instead, or when I should pot it.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to propagate string of dolphins from a wet stick? I have a plant in soil, along with these water propagations, and forgot to water it recently so some leaves died (now I have a few stems that are pretty bare). Oh and this plant is named Finnick after Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games (because he’s from district 4 which is the fishing district) :)

Aglaonema- Found this whole thing on the ground! Wish me look on my first attempt propagating.

Has anyone ever tried (1) propagating a flower from a bouquet? and/or (2) rooting a cutting in a potato?

I just got this black velvet alocasia not even two weeks ago and upon bringing it home I noticed this… I’m assuming it’s a baby! But where do I go from here?

The top of my flaming Katy broke off, so I’ve had it in water for a little over a week. Any tips to help it get roots faster? We’re heading out of town this weekend and I’m not sure what to do with it. If I can plant him in soil I can take him with me.

propagating my wandering jew and it’s already taken root!! is there any way to plant it so that it doesn’t just grow to one side like this larger plant?

In January I saw a video about rooting an acorn, and have been caring for this little one since late February. Now it’s June, and we got a couple new tiny leaves this week!

I took a couple of cuttings from my heart leaf philodendron to propagate. I cut them at the same time, and put them in the same kind of water (distilled), and put them in the same place on my window sill. One is growing roots and one didn’t do anything, in fact the leaf dropped off of it today. Any idea why?

UPDATE My Musa Plant has been repotted and separated! The pups did really well for the first 24 hours and have gone down hill since, expected as much, but my more mature plants are having their own issuers :( The leaves have come very droopy on one plant, but both have cracked tips on most if not all the leaves, and they feel a little down right now. Any suggestions or tips for further care?

If anyone has any advice on propagating an avocado from a pit that would be great! I’m at trying but it just doesn’t seem to be working like it should…

I am very excited because I just sprouted some apple trees! It was super easy! I put three seeds in a wet paper towel and rolled it up neatly and then put it in a plastic ziplock bag. I put it in the refrigerator and forgot about them for 2ish months! When I took them out they had like half inch roots! So I put them in a little pot and gave them plenty of water. Unfortunately I had to go camping but when I came back they were almost over 3 inches tall! I can’t wait!!!

Hello just got this beauty. I cleaned it all up and watered it. I took a few of the babies and set aside in small dish with water. Is that the correct thing to propagate?

Can anyone help me with my fiddle leaf fig tree, Betsy. I’ve had my baby for a little over two years - a gift from my son-in-law. I went on vacation for a month exactly a year ago. During that time I had my daughter come in and water all my plants. She grabbed a jug that had neem oil to spray the ones that would get these lil bugs. She thought it was just water and poured it on ALL of my plants. I came home to brown spots and burned edges on my fiddle leaves. I cut the leaves where the edges were brown around six months after it happened. I don’t think she got too much into this particular plant as opposed to the other ones she LITERALLY killed. Or maybe my beautiful Betsy is just resilient and she survived it. I’ve never had a tree like her before, so I simply maintained it with water and every month a hearty drink of miracle grow. She was stretching and even after the trauma, she was sprouting new growth. Up until recently I started to notice her leaves were turning brown then yellow and quickly falling off. There are now two branches completely bald and the leaves look like they’re drooping. I’ve even fed her banana water. Maybe it’s root bound. Nothing has really changed other than not watering it on schedule like normal. I’m thinking I should change the dirt. Any suggestions would be a great help. Also what kind of dirt should I use when I change it out? I’ll post pics of the bald branches and the leaves that have fallen. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I have this turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus with many offshoots. (more on the other side) I would love to be able to propagate these and add one to a pot for a friend. Everything I have read says they propagate from seeds. Does anyone have an insight if these will also propagate from cuttings? Thank you guys in advance for any advice!

This mostly reverted Pink Princess Philodendron is sprouting some roots! Whoop!

My Musa Tropicana Pups are doing so well, one is a tiny dwarf and the other is a regular, can tell them apart just yet but the parent plants are full and beautiful!

Has anyone ever successfully used this technique to propagate aloe? Saw it on youtube and was just wondering if I’m supposed to keep the soil moist or not.

Trying to grow this Easter cactus with starts from my dear neighbor. I water and I’ve fertilized. Never done this before and I’m wondering at this stage how often should I water and when can I safely transplant to be with my other Easter Cactus? Thanks so much!

Are my pothos cuttings rotting? If so, is there a way to save them? The nodes went from white to brown within a day or two
