I got a snake plant cutting on April 5th and I put it into water with hydrogen peroxide and fertilizer to propagate. How long does it usually take for a snake plant cutting to grow roots? Would it be better to try and grow it in soil instead? I'm new to snake plants.

I’m new to plants, been trying my best with this pothos cutting I got on February 19th. I’ve been trying my best, cleaning out the water often, giving it lots of sunlight and just curious if this progress is normal considering it’s been 2 months.

I truly don’t know what to do with this plant. Anytime I put it in soil, it suffers and it thrives in water but it looks like the roots are searching for soil. Any advice is appreciated

Had an emergency today when i woke up to a yellow leaf! She was a propogate, so i really panicked and took her out of the moss- and she completely detached from the node and her roots! Luckily i had a second propagate which was doing fine and i repotted in a smaller container. The leaf was put in the propogate jar, and just maybe she might make it through, ive had shoots off non-nodes before, but im not super hopeful since shes already yellow and has no roots to take in nutrients. But, has this ever happened to anyone else before? She just popped right off! Is it because the soil medium is too damp? The whole node turned brown, but it did have two new shoots. Did the whole node die off from overworking? All of the propagates i bought had been cut like this, just one node.

My Alaskan grow room. Growing season here on the Kenai Peninsula is June 20-August 24. I grow more indoors than out. Some DIY with pallets and planters is next on the list.

This Heart-leaf Philo is out of control.. again! My thoughts are to make several cuttings and put them all into a wider pot with the same kind of soil. None of the nodes are growing into the moss pole just propped up by pins. However, my second thought was to get different and taller moss poles to try to encourage it growing on the newer ones instead. (Because it worked so well the last time 🤡) What are everyone else’s thoughts on what I should do next with this beast?

Not sure what variety the bigger tradescantia is but I found it on the ground at Lowe’s and couldn’t wait to chop and prop it in water. I was only able to make two cuttings and it looks like they’re both surviving and one is even pushing out a new growth point .

🙋‍♀️raise your hand if you have a Franken-jar of random cuttings you’re clinging on to with hope of their revival. 😂

I had left it out to dry before… but it ended up rotting on one side anyway. So I cut that bit off but now there’s a bit of red??? Do they have blood? It’s a monstera cutting btw. Or maybe there’s a bug crawling inside it??

My monstera is HUGE and I have no room to let it grow how it wants. My question is, is there anything special to propogating? From my understanding you just cut the branches at the base and throw em it water... that pretty much it? Thanks and much love✌️✌️❤️❤️

Hi this is my first time on this group. I have a quick question about butterfly bushes. How do you propagate them? I have two HUGE ones and need to cut them back asap as I live in southern New Hampshire so they have just a few weeks left to do it. Thanks sooo much. Here’s what they looked like last season. Right now they are still without leaves and buds. Can I propagate cuttings or do I have to wait till they look like these pictures. Thanks

I am propagating a heart leaf philodendron. Is there anything special I need to do or just stick the roots in water & wait?

❔ First time propagating - I repotted two of my Pothos and decided to propagate a few pieces that I accidentally broke off 😬 I put them in a little jar of water. We'll see how they do. I hear it takes a few weeks for roots to grow. Any tips here? Also, I have these two leaves from a succulent I have (Echeveria, I believe). Do you think these would propagate? If so, how can I do so? Thanks loves! 🫶
