One of my coworkers gave me a cutting of their leopard lily and I don’t know how to go forward with propagating it or putting it directly into soil. Does anyone have any tips on what to do because I want to go about this the best and smartest way possible

Help! I am getting some hibiscus seeds from a friend. Can I plant them in an indoor pot over the winter to start them and then transfer them outdoors?

When y'all chop and prop, do you delete the old plant in your apps and start fresh, or do y'all make an entry for the props but leave the original plant as-is? Or something else?

Cutting advice needed: where *exactly* should I cut this stem to prop it? I need specifics, because I'm too nervous about messing it up.. Any and all suggestions welcome!

Hello!! I’m brand spanking new to the world of houseplants and have about 16 to maintain. I’m propagating a Chinese evergreen and dragon tree from cuttings. The Chinese evergreen had bad root rot so I’m trying to salvage the healthy stems. The dragon was long and the tallest trunk snapped off when transporting. Both are in water and are just now starting to show the beginnings of roots coming in. When is it safe to move them to soil? Thank you!

Hello, I’m trying to germinate bread seed poppy seeds indoors in my garage underground lights. I am watering from the bottom only with a little misting but brown fungus keeps taking over my soil around the same time. I start to see tiny green shoots last time the poppies got about an inch tall and then withered and diedmostly turning yellow. How can I avoid over watering but also keeping the soil moist enough so that the seeds germinate I also live in Utah and the humidity in the garage is about 20% thank you.

Does anyone know how to propagate a string of pearls? I’m very new to this!

Grown on “Ikigai,” the Japanese concept for “a reason for being.” It teaches that purpose is found at the intersection of what we love, what we are good at, what the world needs, and what we can be paid for.

Starting my first succulent propagation projects! I’m most comfortable with water propagation so I’ll be starting off with that! If you have any tips or tricks, I would love to hear them!

I have recently been trying to propagate Rose cuttings after one of my customers claims she has a high success rate with rose propagation, I have had success with propagating various plants in the past (got lucky) and was wondering if anyone has tips for propagating rose cuttings? My technique take a cutting off a plant (at least 6") remove bottom leaves and cut top leaves in half, stand cutting in water for half hour, take cutting out dip in rooting powder then put in compost, leave cutting outside (in its natural environment) then wait and hope

Hello there, I’ve had this great Hibiscus which I’d love to propagate (yes it has many healthy stems to pick from) I’ve watched a plethora of those “DIY” videos (bless their hearts) oddly conflicting.. This is my first attempt, would anyone help share the actual correct way to propagate? Thanks so much. Best, S

Is this root long enough for me to repot into soil? Or should I wait for a secondary root system?

Propagated my polka dot plant, but they always struggle to survive once the roots are long enough and I repot them. Any advice?

I propagated this heart-leaf philodendron about a month ago and it’s giving me only one supperrr long root, literally just one? I’ve never seen that before so I’m wondering if it’ll still be okay to transfer to soil or continue to keep in water and wait?
