Hello there, I’ve had this great Hibiscus which I’d love to propagate (yes it has many healthy stems to pick from) I’ve watched a plethora of those “DIY” videos (bless their hearts) oddly conflicting.. This is my first attempt, would anyone help share the actual correct way to propagate? Thanks so much. Best, S

Is this root long enough for me to repot into soil? Or should I wait for a secondary root system?

Propagated my polka dot plant, but they always struggle to survive once the roots are long enough and I repot them. Any advice?

I propagated this heart-leaf philodendron about a month ago and it’s giving me only one supperrr long root, literally just one? I’ve never seen that before so I’m wondering if it’ll still be okay to transfer to soil or continue to keep in water and wait?

Does anybody know how to propagate a false Christmas cactus? I have a pretty big one and I’ve had it for almost three years and I want another one without paying for it! 😂😁

just chopped & propped my fiddle leaf fig! 🫣 i cut off her top and put it in water for the first time, because i have a hard time throwing alive foliage out lol. her other half (a stem and a single leaf) are still in the soil. every other year or so she gets this crazy haircut and comes back stronger than ever, but it's really hard to trust the process. i'm excited to see if the leafy half will root in water! wish me luck!

Hello, I have this golden pothos cutting that I have been keeping in water for quite awhile because it seems to do just fine that way. It has grown a ton of roots, but as of recently began yellowing at the base of the stem. Any ideas on what to do?

So I found out that apparently you can propagate this type of hibiscus by cutting. While I can't save the mother plant by bringing it inside before winter hits due to space, I want to try to get some cuttings so it can live on. Where should I make these cuttings (see photo)

Cactus Propagation I am trying to figure out the best way to propagate my cactus. In the image with the arrows I’m trying to decide which cactus leaf would be best to remove, the blue arrow, the pink, yellow, or two or three? I want to keep this cactus healthy, but it would be nice to have two propagates in case one fails. Is it best to twist the leaf off, or cut it? I believe I should then dip it in root hormone do I do that immediately or let it callous over first? If I let it callous how long do I wait to put the hormone on? I’m guessing it would then be best to place directly into cactus/succulent soil, versus water? I’m very confused on the timing of removal, root hormone, then when to put it in soil/water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Cactus from mixed seed in humidity dome, kept at 25⁰C (Automated UFH Stat and Probe) and 12 hour light. 3 little Heads in the last few days, what should my next steps be? I don't see many posts about seeding. Nothing happening yet with the other sized seeds, they'll probably take longer.
