Thank you guys for the input… since i have a lotta african mask corms i’m gonna try this experiment to see which works fastest : sphagnum, perlite, leca, pon, fluval stratum last one is classic water, then covering them with plastic cups to create humidity ! lets see how it goes…🤣 which substrate is the ultimate alocasia propagator🌱🌱🌱
Has anyone had any luck cross-pollinating peperomias? I have some inflorescences and can’t find much literature. Thanks!
I repotted my alocasia african mask in the middle of the night, et voila harvested so many corms! i’m excited to grow these babies! I’ve been watching so many videos on how to grow them, which one has been foolproof for you guys? appreciate in advance!
My porcelain jade has this one long strand and I’m wanting to try prop it. I started this plant from a single leaf that I got from my husband’s grandma a few years ago. Do I chop the vine and prop that? Or take a leaf and try it that way? I’m scared because I don’t want to hurt her! She’s my first and most special plant baby!
Propagating my dragon tree. I know from previous attempts the cuttings will take off but are the roots/base worth my time? Will it take off? I hated doing this but it was too tall and outgrew my house.
I put a spider plant clipping into soil (from a water prop) a couple months ago and it’s grown roots like crazy but very little leaf growth. Roots are growing out the drainage holes and seem pretty crowded at the bottom of the pot but it seems fast to repot it after it’s only been in soil for 2 months or so. Any suggestions on what I should do?
I bought a tiny philodendron Brasil plant to hang in the half-bathroom on a shelf. Well, it took a massive tumble to the floor. I repotted it with fresh soil, and the mother plant is doing okay. However, these two leaves broke clean off in the fall. I’ve been trying to propagate them in water for a couple weeks, but there has been no change. Should I just plant them in soil and see what happens? (The brown is leftover soil I couldn’t get off from being in that original potted plant)
i love seeing root growth
Trying to propagate these string of turtles cuttings. I’m new to caring for plants, so any suggestions would be appreciated! I’m just keeping the ends in water and changing the water every few days. Is there a better way to do this? Are they looking ok? Should I keep it out of direct light?
Would it be ok to separate any of these babies and add to a new pot or is it better to let them get a lot more crowded in their pots? I’ve had them less than two years.
I just got a gorgeous top jade cutting from a prop swap, what is the best way for it to grow roots? In water or directly in like cactus soil?
The second picture is the finicky Polly , which is the mother plant. The first is the little baby Polly that I grew.
How would I propagate a lucky bamboo plant? Also is it possible to do so in water
Hello! I got this Alocasia a few weeks ago and she’s doing well with lots of mature leaves and already popped up 4 more! It looks like 3 separate plant at this point so I’m wondering if I should divide it? Nervous since I’ve never done a division of a plant this large!
So, I recently walked around one of my favorite local nurseries after a big freeze in hopes of finding my wish list plants with minimal damage and came across a philodendron micans with very small but seemingly healthy leaves. They are very pink, so they're going to be placed in my plant cabinet. Is there any tried and true tricks to get these babies popping out new growth?I plan on repotting it in about a week or so because the soil is so wet and cold. Will probably be using the same mix my PPP is in and loving
Dear Plant community members, I recently bought 4 beautiful tropical plants from a store in NY during my 1 day visit there and because I was in a hotel I had to leave the plants in the car in sub zero temperatures :(. I try to cover it with a blanket tho to give it somewhat protection but apparently that didn’t help. Please advise what can I do to bring them to life? Please help!
So I got outside cactus seeds today at Lowe’s and I wanna keep them as succulents tho idk how to start them please give me some tips!!!
I got a snake plant leaf from my art teacher ( who is also a plant fiend) last year. I cut it into three and they all grew good roots in water so I planted them up at the start of the autumn. When should I expect to see new growth do you think? I water when the soils dry but it is next to quite a drafty window. Thank you! x
Another victim of the cold???? What do I do I can’t tell if the root system is still in tact with the top parts of the stems looking like this… it was so so healthy and just turned so quickly. I’m debating cutting the healthy strings that are left and restarting?
Some of my plants aren’t doing to well I can only assume it’s because we’ve had a sudden drop in weather into the below 0 region this one’s started growing crystals on the underside of its leaves, and I can only assume they are mini icicles. It’s a prop I got from the neighbour was healthy when I got it. It had nuts for a little bit, but I started adding less water and I moved it to a new location out of direct sunlight which is really seem to help. It was thriving growing, but now there’s hardly any of it left. It’s a Chinese money plant I believe any tips? One of my flatmates has another propagation from the same person that has in water and is doing a lot better, so I was wondering if I should give that a try and remove it from the soil ? (I read that putting all your plants together when it gets cold helps so I’ve done that and it’s now live location with more light to warm him up a little)
