Hi!!😄 I got these beauties the other day and need the plant to be shorter due to my space. Wondering if I can plant more of the stem in the soil to accomplish this or if just cutting and having them re-root would be better??

There are lots of beautiful roses where I work. How hard is it for a beginner gardener like me to grow some of them at home?

Any advice on getting these to root? Both have been in the water a little over a month, no new roots at all, however the Purple Heart is growing new leaves.

Last round of TC’s to fill up the nursery cabinet. Heavy on the Philodendrons this time. I just love them and how easy they are to care for and grow!

Is this basil ready to be put in a pot?

My chin cactus has a bunch of these little pups all over it! Is it as simple as pulling one off and setting it on top of some cactus soil for it to root?

My dwarf elephant ear has these little sproutlings growing from the base. How can I safely propagate them?

Picked these up off the floor at the place I work. They seem happy enough. Anyone know what plant this is?

All my props plus an air plant. I’ve got 10 different plants propagating here and I mixed them up to make little propagation bouquets. So excited watching these grow

I have been propagating some jade and I originally had these 2 leaves in soil. They started having new growth and the original leaves were getting shriveled but there was no root growth. I moved them to water and there continues to be new growth, the original leaves a plump again, but there’s still basically no root growth! What do I do? Now that the host leaves are full again should I try to move them to soil? It’s probably been 2+ months at this point! The other jade pieces are rooting just fine… the leaves just don’t want to 🤷‍♀️

Hi! This is my lemon-lime heartleaf philodendron, which I propagated on October 2nd. Lately, I have noticed the leaves are starting to turn brown. I am still new to propagating and not sure what is going wrong. I would really appreciate any advice or tips on how to help her thrive!

I’m propagating my first spider plant in water - any tips? How do I know when it is ready to transfer to soil?

Had so many cuttings from my neon pothos, I'm so pleased with them! Starting to give them away to people now.

Hey y'all, my aloe has a pup that has grown A LOT over the summer, is it ready for its own pot yet or am I being too impatient?

I’ve had these pothos propagating in water for a couple of months now and they’ve both grown one singular root that’s really long. Is that a water root or can I pot these?

I have a very stringy, and small leafed Swiss cheese vine (adansonii). It was gifted to me this way. I love its character but I know the leaves can get much bigger and I’d like to see it get fuller and climb as well. Any tips on exactly how I should repot and propagate this beautiful plant?

These seeds from my Curly Sue Cactus germinated in about 4 days. I put them on a moist paper towel inside a sealed one gallon Ziploc bag to retain moisture. They are ready for starter pots. The black on the paper towel is from leftover bits of soil in the drainage tray that stained the towel. 🪴🍀

This plant had some full seed pods when I got it. I'm good with the extraction (dry, soak, dry, dry), decent with the potting (coir, perlite, vermiculite on top), but the 3-month mark is where I fail at seedlings. Let's see what happens cuz this would be a nice, niche win. Pictured also is my first Gibbaeum dispar. Note how compact it turned - the base is pretty much a mini tree trunk.
