What are your favorite plants to propagate? Looking to keep adding / rescuing plants, but want to be intentional about selecting things I can make babies from to grow the green gang!! My fav to propagate so far is my creeping inch, I think I’ll have a house full of these in a couple months time 😅

Top cutting of a begonia is putting out a new leaf after 10 days! I had to cut it off the main plant because it wouldn’t stop growing so fast 😅

Good morning plant crew … I am so glad I trimmed back my Chinese money tree. Now I am getting bigger leaves and longer stems 😊😊. In this pot there’s only two plants. I do have two other plants growing in a separated pot because I did water propagation with those and wanted to make sure they were gonna succeed with the soil transfer. Those are doing great as well. I can’t wait to put them together.

About a year ago, in a keikei paste accident gone tragically wrong, I accidentally rotted the base node on my monstera albo and ruined the plant. I chopped to prop as soon as I realized, but the nodes were so closely spaced together that I was only able to save the topmost node, and even then I had to cut it down pretty close—that being said, I am certain that there is node there and it's not a zombie leaf! It took a few months to root in perlite, but once it did the roots really thrived. I potted it into an aroid soil last month and the roots have continued to thrive...but there is absolutely no activity on the node. (I did VERY CAREFULLY score it and rub in some keikei paste last week, and made sure to clean off any excess right away to prevent what happened last time.) With all that background info in place: the existing leaf on the cutting has been slowly yellowing from pretty much the moment I chopped it, and at this point it is almost fully yellow and going translucent in spots. Do I just keep letting it yellow? Do I chop the leaf off and cover the node with a humidity dome? It's never had a lot of variegation, but it was the first plant I ever grew from a sprouted node, so it has sentimental value and I don't want to give up on it, but I don't know what I should do at this point to help encourage growth. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi all, any suggestions on how to propagate this Elephant bush plant? Where do I cut? I know it’s a bit leggy, I plan to change the location for more sunlight. Any suggestions to propagate would be appreciated!

Opinions please: do I snip those forming new leaves so the cutting can focus on roots?

Trying to Propagate this white knight or wizard philodendron after it broke off/ it’s in water now, but how long do I wait until putting it in soil?

I really need to save this guy for sentimental reasons. It was incredibly healthy a month ago, then I repotted it and it fell apart. :( Is this propagation going to work?
