I got this cutting that got root rot... I had it dry out, and put it in dry soil, I think the pup died, but does anyone know if I can revive it?

One of my arrow plant stems broke off while I was trying to repot it. Can this be put in water and will it grow roots?

Do yall get sad when propagating plants too.

The leave is all dried up now. Would you plant this in dirt? If yes, do I just bury the dried up leave? I have left it alone for weeks and it rewarded me with this beauty! Thanks so much.

Greetings! After placing a big order and then having some transactional issues from the companies end causing a two week delay to even begin shipping, the very kind owner said I could pick an Amaryllis bulb if my choice. I forgot the name but it’s going to be orange and white. I have only ever planted Caladium bulbs in my past and wow, this Amaryllis bulb is huge and intimidating. I have taken two pics shown below: one of the bulb and one of the instruction sheet that was on the company’s website for download. Everything sounded pretty straight forward, except, under the section about soil it is telling me to fill my pot a little more than half-way full of moistened soil (sounds like usual), then set the bulb so that the “top two thirds are exposed”. The rest of the directions do not ever mention adding more soil to cover the bulb up completely. So, is this accurate: the bulbs top 2/3rds will be exposed for its lifetime as I water and watch it grow? Or did the writer of these instructions forget to include that little, obvious last step that generally says “finish by covering the rest of the exposed bulb(s) with soil and add about another 2” soul above the top of the bulb.”??? PLEASE HELP! Also and quite importantly (I’m obviously a newb), in my pic below, do I have the bulb currently pointed in the correct direction? Or is it upside down and would need to be flipped over to pot it right? Those look to me like clear roots on the bottom side but now I’m second guessing it all. Any other pro tips on growing amaryllis in a pot indoors would be sorely appreciated. Thank you!! Caitlin

What’s the best plan of action for both of these plants?? I don’t want to end up cutting them and killing them since I don’t know what I’m doing

Well the de-flasking went pretty well. Except the one guy was too big, so I had to just put a cover over top.

I helped my grandma trim her rubber plant. She told me I could keep the stuff I cut off. Is water the best way to go about it? Is the piece too big? Do I have enough nodes? Should I cut it into smaller pieces? Thanks for any and all responses!!

Hi ☺️ I’m slightly new too indoor plants and have a lovely peperomia (baby rubber plant) and when I come back off holidays the base of some stems ended up going brown I took them out and cut the brown bit off and in a few days will be putting them in water just wondering if that’s the right thing to do? Thank you ☺️

Hi, I’m somewhat new to growing stuff from seed. I planted strawberry seed from store - bought strawberries, but they did not grow. Was there anything i needed to do beforehand. I know with apple seeds, you have to put them in a fridge for a while. Is that the same with other seeds from store bought fruit?

Ok, it’s been a week, here is the same mystery plant. One of the smaller leaves died, but it looks pretty healthy . Can anyone tell me what it is?

I got a RattleSnake Plant and I needed to repot. I can’t find anywhere online on what to do with those Corms or Rhizomes I found. Do I put them in water and wait for more rooting or do I put them in dirt to start growing or it’s useless?
