New to propagating…advice please My first time trying. I got a clipping from a plant, and placed it in water. I change the water every other day.

Best way to propagate a plumeria. I tried the plastic bag and it hollowed out and rotted 🤷🏽‍♀️

Really like this new method I tried, mulberry cuttings turned out great.

Do my propagations have root rot? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but they don’t seem to be growing roots anymore 😭

I don’t know if I’ve done this correctly. My philodendron had root rot and there was no saving the roots. So when I went to repot, I just divided the branches (each are about 2 feet long with new leaf growth much smaller than the older leaves), and placed about 4 inches of each in a separate jar of water. I heard if you’re propagating, to use cutting so they don’t have to go through so much photosynthesis. But I also heard you could divide the plant if you have healthy roots. Since I don’t have roots, should I cut these into pieces instead or will I be able to get roots with propagating long stems? *** I really hate to break it apart with so many healthy leaves.*** Thank you all!!

Hiya! Looking to propagate some plants of mine to give as gifts for Christmas this year. Hoping they’ll be “full” looking in time if I start now. Going to try Chinese Money plant, ZZ, crotons, a variety of succulents, pothos, etc.. Curious what your guys’ advice are on how to go about each one. Have you had better luck in water? Spagmoss? Soil? My snake plant grew ROOTS in almost 1-2 weeks while I’ve had others take 2+ months. I know it’s quite the variety but I want to do what’s best for each one so I have success come December. TIA!!!

Hi! I’d love to get my rubber tree to branch out some more and create a cutting in the process. I have a couple of questions about that. 1. If I cut where indicated in the picture (pink line), is it likely to have my plant creat two branches there? It is not the most dominant branch. Or, should I cut the other, more dominant branch? 2. For the cutting, I was thinking about just sticking it in a jar of water. This seems to work with many other plants (pothos, monstera) but I’ve never done it with a ficus. Online, it seems somewhat split between water vs air layering and curious if anyone has had a good experience with water propagation. Thanks!

I propagated my Variegated Wandering Dude a few weeks ago (maybe 2…?) and noticed that the area that I cut from is browning and looks weak. Anything I can do?

I started a monstera prop a bit ago and it has plenty of roots now so I could plant it but I kinda want to try just water. Do I literally just keep it in straight water? Any tips are helpful!

My daughter gave me a few Philodendron Florida cuttings her coworker gifted her. (she’s intimidated by anything philodendron or monstera lol) No visible roots and the nodes are on the small side… Any advice is appreciated 🌱🪴💚

I’m trying to propagate some stick cactus. All the cutting had roots up until this week when they all rotted and fell off. They keep putting out new roots, but rotting before they become larger. Any idea what I’m doing wrong or how to fix this??
