Hi there! New to the group and have a few questions! Had a semi large burros tail that became very hydrophobic and decided to repot with fresh soil and it was just not working for whatever reason, I lost a lot of leaves trying to repot and now I’m left with this. They are sitting in a south east window with a grow light above them to help once the sun moves. My questions are, how often should I water them? Do they need to be covered for humidity to help them root? I ran out of patience with the two bottoms dishes so would it better to space them out (like the first one) or would leaving it like that do any harm? Any feedback would be sooo appreciated as this is stressing me out and do not want to fail for who knows how many times already! 😊

currently trying to learn how to propagate every plant i own so i can double/triple the plants i love, including my rose bushes and other fruit bushes/trees. Currently have dianthus trying to root in soil as well as snapdragons and syngonium.

I beheaded my Perle Von Nurnberg echeveria about three weeks ago and this is the progress of the stump part so far.

I'm trying to propogate some burro's tail succulent leaves and one tiny stem that fell off. Any advice on how I would do that?

Here’s Muscle again, my beautiful toddler Muscadine Grape vine. I was just looking for tips on how exactly to cut him. I’m new to the plant parenting thing and I’d love to learn to grow grapes, and I remember hearing from somewhere that grape vines need to be cut or ‘pruned’. Just looking for advice on how exactly to do that for when the time comes…

I’m very excited everyone! This is my first attempt at propagating a monstera and I can’t believe it worked. Now the hard part is knowing when it’s ready to be potted. Any and all suggestions to help this baby thrive are welcome!

Greetings plant family, I have a question. Do you have people that try to pinch off a piece of your plants when they come to visit? I have a friend that I won’t let visit me because they feel like they can just take a piece of my plants. Asking sometimes and not asking sometimes. I do not want anyone’s hands on my babies! What would you do? I don’t want any of my plants to die because of someone’s greed. Also the person is not good with plants. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I place this cutting a few months ago and i noticed its growing a pup now, my question is should i just leave it or take it out and plant it in soil, its fully submerged in water

Hello! i just joined, but thought I'd share one of the more interesting propagating facts I learned from my grandpa. You can propagate an african violet just from a leaf. I have two right now, one is a propagation from my grandpa and the other is a propagation of a propagation. (Yes they need pruning🫣)

I feel like i need to remove The bigger ones into their own Pots because I feel like they might be getting to much water because the smaller ones are still coming in. Should i Move them Or leave them? When do i stop Keeping them moist? I know im supposed to Keep them alone Until they have atleast 4 Leaves but im just Paranoid the bigger ones will Get Too much water.

Here are my willow tree cuttings from when I pruned a couple of branches! I cut them about 3 days ago and so far the leaves are still standing strong and haven’t started wilting. So excited for them to root! I’m thinking of giving some away to family and friends and probably sell the rest if there’s some left over!!

Just propagated these friends from some cuts off my friends thriving plant! I’m not sure if I have the correct species- they don’t look completely like the pictures planta has. They almost look like a succulent type to me? Anywho… I’m looking for some tips on how to grow my new guys! I can only dream of have this pot become as full and luscious as my friends mother plant!

My baby sun rose has been my best friend and the only plant I’ve been able to grow this well. Although it’s never made flowers, I’m not really sure why that is. It got too big for its pot so I just moved it to a bigger one 2 days ago so he can stretch his legs. I made a few cuts to try to spread my guy out a little bit. The leaves aren’t as glossy and firm as they usually are, I’m sure he’s just in shock. I’m looking for any advice on how to help him thrive again! How often should I water/fertilize if it’s a new home and new soil?

Hiii, I’m new to planting seeds, I’ve always had plants that were a little past the seedling stage. I just planted some garden sage seeds and wondering if any one has an advice on how to help it thrive. I have it in a terrarium, made a good drainage layer, and gave it plenty of room for the roots to grow.
