Hello, has anyone tried to grow Echeveria succulents from seed? I was going to buy some soon, i know the process will be long to get a fully grown plant but i think itll be fun to watch them grow from this stage soooo… has anyone got any tips or suggestions and does anyone have any good suppliers as i was going to go for Succulent Pallet on etsy.
I just got a Red King Kong aeonium cluster and it’s been a minute since I got one with minimal rooting. I have her in a ceramic pot with cactus soil. How often should I water to get those roots really popping?
Every time I try to propagate a plant, whether in soil or water, it somehow fails. The cuttings just shrivel up and die. The only exception was my pink variegated micans, and even that plant was barely hanging on at the time. The last time I trimmed my plants, I didn’t even bother trying to propagate them properly. I just tossed the cuttings into a zip-lock bag with some sphagnum moss and left the bag in a corner. I completely forgot about them. When I finally looked again, they were growing roots. What really surprised me was that even the extra cuttings in the bag without any moss had started rooting too. The only moisture they had was whatever was left from when I rinsed them after cutting. At this point I’m convinced my plants either dislike me personally or they only thrive when I leave them alone. 🌿😅
Second attempt at propagating from corms. Last one I let dry out. :( Not this time!! They're already starting to crack open and grow roots.
MY FIRST SUCCESSFUL PROPAGATION im so happy i cut my satin pothos and this is the first root iv seen!!
Just potted this Jade cutting! Meet Gemini…
Is this Rex begonia ready to pot yet? It’s been in water for a few months now and got some pretty long roots but not sure if it’s enough yet. They’re about 5cm long (sorry the photos aren’t showing it that well) and has a few leaves growing now too.
First jade plant propagation any tips for planting and for healthy bushy plants when theyre a fully grown?
This is my first time successfully propagating a red nerve plant!! Usually these shrivel up in a day or two. I was finally able to do it with a takeout container, sphagnum moss, rooting hormone powder, And daily misting x2 a day. It’s been about a month and these are my precious little roots I worked so hard for!! :3 I’m so happy! I’m hoping to place her in a terrarium once I get bigger roots.
This is the piece I cut off of my rubber plant on January 20th and put it in water to trim the propagate it. It’s been in there the whole time, I change the water about once a week, and last week I added root drops. Anyone know how long it takes for this thing to start growing roots??? The other part of the plant that is still in soil had already has new growth but this one seems to not be doing much of anything. It’s still firm. But also it’s getting these little bumps on the side?!?
I recently made a cross-country move in the middle of the southern ice storm and most of my plants were severely damaged in the process. I’m trying to rehab and save what I can. My money tree lost all of its leaves in the move and now looks like this. I am seeing new buds at the trunk, should I trim off some of the growth above the buds? If so, where should I snip? I don’t see any new buds at the top
Hey, my monstera wasn’t doing so well, so I decided to propagate some cuttings in water. It’s been exactly a month and no roots have grown. I am not confident in them rooting. Should I wait longer? This is my first time doing it, and the plant was young (may not have gotten any nodes) and it is also winter, for any extra info on this. I’m just curious.
Had to pluck one more cutting from mom’s 50+ year old Jade! This one looks fun…
My propagation station!! They are all rooting so good and way faster than I expected!! I get the bottles at the dollar store, they have a ton of cool ones and you can’t beat $1.25!!
I have this water propagation that is incredibly happy, but cleaning the water and removing the plant from the jar without hurting it has gotten difficult because of how may roots there are. This has led to some mold growing on the surface of the water, is this a sign to plant it in dirt?
All settled into her new home! Come on roots, do your thing and grow!!!
I have decided to propagate my pilea .. I want a more fuller plant. This is my first time doing this with a pilea so I’m trying the stem and separately the branch. Any pointers? I did also put alil bit of hormone growth to the tip of the cutting
Any tips on how to transferring propagations propagations into their first pots? Anything I should know?
Tigger Melon plants started nicely. Ignore the start of a jenky homemake trellis lol. I made due with what was on hand at the time.
Dragon Blood Tree seed has sprouted 🙌 super excited for this one.
