I propagated a “wandering dude” plant about two weeks ago straight into soil… it looks like it’s doing okay, but should I repot it and make sure the roots have formed and/or are doing okay? This is my first time propagating anything so sorry if this is a silly question!

Hi everyone! I’ve been propagating this little English ivy for a few weeks but everytime it grows a new leaf it starts to brown…? It’s not in direct sunlight so I don’t believe it’s sun spots but this is the second leaf to start browning and I cannot figure out why!! If anyone has any ideas I would to know 😄 thank you!!

My Lemon Lime is taking a long time to propagate.. I wanna say I cut it like 3 weeks ago. And I still see no roots yet. First photo: the top that I cut off and now have in water. Still no roots yet. Second photo: other half of lemon lime… but nothing is sprouting from the top either.

Hi everyone! I started my first cut flower garden (thanks TikTok) and I noticed the bottom leaves on some sprouts are dying off and the stems are turning brown. What am I doing wrong? I’ve never sowed anything before so this is all new to me. I’m in central Texas if that helps!

Sooo.. What do I do with this? 😅 I put a piece of broccoli in water to see if I could get it to flower and (obviously) there are roots.

Should I just cut off this leaf? It came like that but as you can see it’s still growing and is happy.

My propagation shelf. Recovering stumps are on the bottom shelves, head cuttings in the middle shelf, and baby growing plantlets on the shelves to the right

Need Help Please! I’m trying to propagate my lipstick plant (mona lisa). The plant was thin and long but not really full. I cut the cuttings close to how I found on a site about an inch from the leaves and used root powder (but I forgot to let it dry, I’m hoping that won’t affect them too badly). I put the cuttings in indoor plant soil mix inside small containers with lids (clamshells). I cut slits on the bottom for drainage, the sides and on the top to help it with some air flow but kept them small to help them stay humid. They are also on a seedling heat pad and have a grow light on for 6 -12 hrs. I would like to know if this is a good set up or should I change it? They have been in this set up for about a week. Thanks for any feedback. I’m a beginner so still learning the ropes 😊

Hey guys! So I came home to my snake plant, that I was trying to propagate as a unit, fallen over. Then the leaves came apart from each other. So, I’m propagating these leaves individually to see if there’s still hope of saving it. Is this the correct way to do this?

Frank Jr — just potted up two rooted cuttings I took from my big satin pothos a few weeks ago. 💚 He had his photoshoot in front of my strawbs but will be living indoors.
