I have a lovely prayer plant. I’m a novice of taking care of plants and I know this variety is persnickety but my 14 yr old daughter bought it when her dad died last year so I need to keep this thing alive. Anyway, it wasn’t doing very well well this winter and I read putting it into water might help it. Welp, I’ve now had it in water for six months. There are so many more leaves than before it was in water. I keep it by my pet snake so it can use the sun lamp. I’d like to plant it in dirt (the prayer plant, not the snake) but I’m afraid it’ll be used to the water. Thoughts? Help!

In the 4x5 I have nasturtiums, marigolds, and strawflower.
In the 2x3 I have cactus. I’m suspicious of that one tall boi in the middle right row. I bet that’s a teaspoon tomato (They popped up everywhere on my island after hurricane Ian) and I used sand from my yard…

this elephants ear was on sale so i’m going to try and save him. i chopped him because there’s already a small sprout growing, hopefully it thrives , even if he dies he was only £1 🙈 (any advice welcome, i’ve never had one ☺️)

I ordered a bunch of pothos cuttings off Etsy back in February to propagate. All but one of them have had new spouting and leaves. I also propped a couple cuttings from a nature plant we already had that needed to be pruned in April, and even one of them has already gotten new leaves.
My lone prop is still alive. Leaves look healthy, still green. However there’s been absolutely zero signs of growth in it. My cat chomped this little guy early on (as well as a couple others) but the others quickly put out new leaves to compensate for the ones they lost. Again, plant seems totally healthy just zero new growth. Can it really take that long? Should I just keep waiting? He’s getting plenty of light and I’ve increased watering in all my plants recently since it gotten warmer and they’re drying out more. I used rooting hormone when propagating too.

Such a cute gift from my kindergarten students I got at their graduation! They were bundled together like a bouquet. I have some really thoughtful colleagues!

I got a silver inch plant cutting from a friend today, should I let it callous before i put it in water? Or can I just stick it straight in?

What’s the proper way to get root growth from a monstera clipping? First time having one, a sweet lady gave me a cut from hers. I currently have in a glass jar with water with lots of natural light coming in. Any advice will help! Thank you!

Hello everyone, I have a white Bird of Paradise that’s been growing great, but she has several new shoots that can be seen in the photo that appear to be growing on their own, not attached to the main plant. Is it okay to dig these out and pot them on their own?

My first time at propagation! I’m excited to hopefully one day plant these ivy clippings.
Not me wanting to walk around Lowe’s and find clippings to propagate! Is this wrong?

Hey I’m quite new at this, I really need some advice. I have a Crassothonna capensis I’ve just propagated, it was in water for 2 weeks growing so fast so I transferred it to soil. I was checking it everyday, on the 3rd day I lifted one of the stems to check it was taking well and noticed thousands of white bugs, I figured out what it was so I cleaned the plant got rid of the soil washed the pots. how do I stop the little white bugs from coming back to eat my new roots should u leave it in the house or will it be the same ???

I have a really healthy Monstera and need to propagate where should I cut it. Have two roots growing off it. Once I cut it, can it be water propagated?
