Baby roots on a pellonia! I have it in a tube with another plant that hasn’t rooted yet — kinda shocked this one got started within a week!

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.

Can someone please describe to me where I would cut on my arrowhead to propagate in water? I don’t see nodes.

Just got this Hoya from a plant swap! Should I propagate in water or soil? Any tips? Also do y'all think it is a Hoya Carnosa Variegata? TYIA

Does anyone know how to prop (in h20) either a Philodendron Pink Princess or Arrowhead Strawberries & Cream? I want more pink plants!

Hey guys just a quick question; How long do water propagated monstera albo roots need to be before you can plant them in a chunky soil? The roots are the same length as I normally let my normal monsteras grow too, so feels right for timings but unsure?

Took these cuttings from an abandoned plant in my workplace… can I pot them? Theyve been in water for 2 days now.

Hi everyone, So i tried to propagate my pothos and ensured the roots were at least 2 inches long before potting it into a 8cm planter pot. Do you know how often i need to water ? Does it look healthy to you? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks so much.

Has anyone ever gotten this propagation crazy with one of their plants? (This is/was a Heart Leaf Philodendron Brasil). I just love waiting/watching new roots grow in water and have jars of cuttings all over my home. The best tips I’ve learned so far for cuttings are: cut at 45 degree angle, dip in rooting powder, let air dry to callous for 24hr, use distilled water with a couple drops of hydrogen peroxide to prevent slime and change weekly. Do you have any additional tips I could use?

Proud moment update: I’m excited to share the progress that my Tahitian Bridal Veil has made since I posted about it 2 months ago. It had started to get leggy, sparse growth on top, dried leaves, it wasn’t thriving. I almost sent it to plant heaven but thought I’d try to resuscitate it somehow. BIG thanks to the planta community who shared such valuable tips on how to revive it- I took out all the dead, crispy leaves, saved the cuttings and rooted them, and had enough for 2 medium pots. I also made sure to give them light 💡 up top for fullness. Two months later, my TBV is thriving, flowering, and I got 2 pots out of one! I hope they continue growing and trailing. 🪴 This is such a great community, I appreciate the sound advice and tips!! 🥰 📸before photos on top-below new plants

Am I on the right track here with my snake plant cutting propagation?? It's been about a month or two I think but I've read that 2-4 months should be seeing roots potentially? It's in an east facing window in refreshed water every 5-7 days with prop drops added. They're like little hairs so I think it looks promising but unsure
