Chopped my albo to prop and the original plant is pushing out new growth points! How long do they usually take to push out new leaves, is there anything I can do to help them stay healthy and grow?!

I need to make a spray of hydrogen peroxide and water to clean off the mushy end of a plant that I am propagating. What is the percentage of water and peroxide that I should use for spray? THX☺️

What is the best rooting hormone? I’ve looked on Amazon and there are all kinds. HELP!… Too many to choose from! 🤪 THX

Do you think this prop has grown a strong enough root system to be potted in soil? Thanks!

My fiddle leaf fig propagation has 5 points of new growth including a tiny leaf, I’m so happy 🥹

I recently repotted my crassula respetris ? Trying to propagate some cuttings. Do they root in water or in the soil? First photo is repotted and trimmed. Second photo is the original. Third photo is cuttings.

does anyone know how long my pothos roots need to be in water to eventually pot into soil? (please send photo if possible) 🥰

anyone have tips for propagating succulents? I only had this mixture of regular potting soil with extra perlite. Should I mist or water with a can? About how long until I should see roots? Any and all advice much appreciated appreciated as this is my 3rd time trying this🥲

I am trying to propagate a aglaonema commutatum, better known as a Chinese Evergreen “pink dalmatian”. Notice that there is some kind of silky, fuzzy cloud at the bottom of the branch that has the node and the stem growing out of the very bottom of it on the left-hand side. I have taken that off once already, and remove some of the mushy bottom. My problem is that I don’t know if this is good or bad??? Can anyone tell me what to do? TXS

Tl;dr is there an optimal time to move new plants from under a grow light to a room with less direct light? I got some pothos cuttings that I planted last month. Right now I’m babying them under a grow light in our kitchen, but I’m wondering if there is an optimal time to move them elsewhere where they won’t be getting 15 hours of direct light. Our apartment gets very little direct sunlight, but my office has an east facing window and I just added some shelves that I’m hoping to relocate some plants to eventually. Two of the pothos cuttings are showing new growth (mostly to replace leaves one of my cats chomped) and another has a new shoot starting. The other two are doing well but not showing and growth up top yet, so I assume still rooting. How long should I wait before moving these guys into my office? Or does it matter?

Has anyone ever successfully grown prickly pear (Opuntia) from seeds from the grocery store (I’m in Canada) Not sure if we would irradiate those and kill their viability?

I got a snake plant that my boyfriend bought for me and unfortunately all the tips of the plant were broken. This is my first attempt at propagating a snake plant and it worked! The roots are tiny but it’s progress. This took around 2 months to grow these.

Any advice on propagating an African Violet. Both my mom and I were unsuccessful when we have tried. Tia

My latest propagating experiment. These are bell pepper seeds from a red bell pepper that I used in a salad. Placed between two paper towels & covered with plastic wrap, kept damp on my drain board. Just moved to a plastic container with soil and lightly tamped down. We shall see what happens.

Help!! I am trying to water propagation. Have tradescantia Nanouk put cuttings in water, rain water, stems rotting-soft. No roots. Don’t usually have any problems with water prop. Thanks

hey! i’ve had this Friendship Moon Valley since the summer and it was doing great! until i forgot to water it for 2 weeks😬. a lot of the leaves died and since then many keep dying but there are a lot of healthy parts of the plant. i was wondering if there are any ways to make it less leggy? can i cut it all and prop the cuttings to get a fuller base?

Potted this tiny Donkeys Tail a few weeks ago. Haven’t noticed any growth. Worried it won’t root. Any thoughts or suggestions?? First time taking a baby and trying to get it to grow.
