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.

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?

My dwarf elephant ear has these little sproutlings growing from the base. How can I safely propagate them?

Picked these up off the floor at the place I work. They seem happy enough. Anyone know what plant this is?

All my props plus an air plant. I’ve got 10 different plants propagating here and I mixed them up to make little propagation bouquets. So excited watching these grow

I have been propagating some jade and I originally had these 2 leaves in soil. They started having new growth and the original leaves were getting shriveled but there was no root growth. I moved them to water and there continues to be new growth, the original leaves a plump again, but there’s still basically no root growth! What do I do? Now that the host leaves are full again should I try to move them to soil? It’s probably been 2+ months at this point! The other jade pieces are rooting just fine… the leaves just don’t want to 🤷‍♀️

Hi! This is my lemon-lime heartleaf philodendron, which I propagated on October 2nd. Lately, I have noticed the leaves are starting to turn brown. I am still new to propagating and not sure what is going wrong. I would really appreciate any advice or tips on how to help her thrive!

I’m propagating my first spider plant in water - any tips? How do I know when it is ready to transfer to soil?
