This is my first time I’ve been able to see growth trying to propagate an Alocasia corm. Perlite has failed me in the past and I have never gotten this far before. They’re in a little nursery pot in a smaller cup with water and in a zip lock bag for extra humidity which I open periodically. Is there anything else I should be doing? I really want these lil guys to be successful so any advice I would really appreciate!
Plant ID help!! What do we think this is? The leaves are very hard & somewhat thick, like a succulent.
Hi everyone! About two? Months ago I propagated my mom’s golden pothos and after I saw three long roots I planted her here. Shes staying alive and doing well but hasn’t grown, and I don’t know if it’s because it’s too short of time to see growth or if it’s because it’s not growing season, or another reason. I have her in this terracotta pot and tray and I have a rock over the drainage hole but there’s still dirt that gets through because it’s not fully covering it. When I place her down, some dirt comes out of the hole and this dirt in the picture seems odd to me. It looks kind of ball-y (idk how to describe) and I saw two tiny bugs there when I picked her up so I just got rid do them and the dirt on the tray. I picked her up again today and saw one tiny bug. Why is this? Sorry for the long post, any help appreciated. I’m new and trying to learn.
My first time trying a prop box. Varieties of pothos with nodes. But I am very unsure how the silver string of hearts will do. I have one group in Sphagnum Moss and the other two in a layer of damp paper towels. Will update in a few months with any progress! Christmas Day surprise maybe. 😂
The latest batch of cactus seedlings have moved the grow trays to the pot!
These are sevenish weeks. I'm keeping them out of the sun, misting every several days if needed. I'm not looking forward to the next step, as it's going to require a fully new growing area - note where I have them now... Again, I took these from seed pods left on a Gibbaeum dispar I ordered online last year. I did all the extraction crud but am still unsure which of all these weird sucs are self-pollinating, so I went with it.
My calathea Warscewiczii bloomed a few weeks ago and I have been watching the flower go from a gorgeous flower into something that is now producing seed like pods. I know that this is a sign of a healthy plant, but the flower is now starting to dry out. Can I use the pods that came out of the flower to replant? What should I do with it? If you have experience with this and please help! (Google gives mixed advice). Thank you in advance for the advice.
👋 Plant Newbie here! Has anyone heard of putting Pothos cuttings into your propagation water & propogation cuttings? I am trying it out with a few cuttings, but don’t know if I should commit any further to four more containers of cuttings. Thanks! 🪴
I lobbed off the tops of my polka dot plants. A little rooting hormone and in the dirt they go. I’ve not yet been successful propagating polka dots in either water or dirt but it’d be a shame not to try, right? Any advice is welcome!
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some help with my Pothos propagations. I had one long stem with a few leaves on it, but I learnt that you can propagate individual leaves to get more plants. I’ve done that, and now I can see that I’m getting some good roots, but the new shoots seem to be growing under the water level. Is what I’ve circled in red the new shoot and is it an issue for it to be under water? I’m worried that bc the new shoot is so close to the root I’m going to struggle to continue growing it in water or soil because it would be under the water/soil line and unable to put out new leaves. What can I do in this case?
This WAS a spider plant. All of the leaves yellowed and fell off on their own so I took it out of the pot. I noticed the root system was very healthy..so I decided to repot just the roots in fresh potting soil and sit in the east-facing window sill. Think anything will come of it or should I toss it?
This is what’s left of one of my devils ivy plants that ascended to glory. I’m trying to propagate the leaves but I see one of them isn’t doing so well already. Is this stem rotting? Should I cut it? It’s placed in the window sill of an east-facing window. I replace the water 2-3 days. Just started this week. Any other suggestions?
Is there a chance I can propagate the two? I pulled them off my tradescantia and was wondering if I could save them or not.
Hi!!😄 I got these beauties the other day and need the plant to be shorter due to my space. Wondering if I can plant more of the stem in the soil to accomplish this or if just cutting and having them re-root would be better??
There are lots of beautiful roses where I work. How hard is it for a beginner gardener like me to grow some of them at home?
Any advice on getting these to root? Both have been in the water a little over a month, no new roots at all, however the Purple Heart is growing new leaves.
You guys think this will work? Pothos clippings 😭😭😭😭
Last round of TC’s to fill up the nursery cabinet. Heavy on the Philodendrons this time. I just love them and how easy they are to care for and grow!
Is this basil ready to be put in a pot?
My chin cactus has a bunch of these little pups all over it! Is it as simple as pulling one off and setting it on top of some cactus soil for it to root?
