Oki two questions. 1) if I am growing a plant in water and plan to keep it there do I need to give it fertilizer for nutrients? 2) does anyone do this, if so what fertilizer do you use? I’ve heard of people using slow release fertilizer but I don’t know which one to get.
Hi everyone I’m new to the group. Can I germ plant seeds on wet paper towel in ziplock bag? I saw on YouTube Thanks!!
This fell off my golden pothos. Can I propagate it?
Help ! 😭 I’ve had string of pearls once, this is my second and I kill them everytime ! Last time I think I over watered and this time I think I underwatered ! 😭 the pot is super shallow I repotted the cuttings so these are cuttings and I don’t think they’re taking 🥲 I clipped what was still good and healthy and repotted, I watered when I repotted and they don’t seem to be taking. I think this plant might be too delicate for me 😅
Can I put my pileas in soil now???
Does anyone know what these seeds are? I was told some kind of voodoo plant but am not sure
Hi everyone! I have these elephant bushes that were given to me in pretty bad condition. They've been getting better but a lot of the branches are super lanky like the ones pictured. I've been trimming and propagating the pieces, would it be a good idea to plant the rooted props in the areas of empty soil to make the plant thicker overall?? Or should I just keep trimming and waiting for new growth?? Thank you!!
Hi all! I successfully propagated this prayer plant but am not sure what to do next.. My dad came to visit yesterday and seems to think I need to trim a leaf or two as the roots won’t be able to support new leaves coming up.. opinions? Also, when is it ready to plant in soil? What soil type? Sorry for the many questions! So new to this🫣
Hello fellow plant lovers! This branch of my tomatoes was torn off the plant by accident. Is there any hope in propagating it? There are a few clusters of tomatoes on it and it’d be great to save somehow. I’ve never done propagation before. Thank you!
How long do nanouks take to start having roots? I’ve been moving other props in with mine to see if it’ll help, but I’m getting a little discouraged. Nanouk on the left, pellonia on the right.
I’m pretty sure this is the right group for this, so here we go - i have a problem with impulsively taking the babies off my spider plant and throwing them in water when i see that they are a specific size lol. i have about 5 right now that are propagating in water. 2 or 3 of them are at the point where their roots are long enough to plant them in soil, but i don’t have enough pots to give them each their own. If i plant all 5 of them in, say, a 5-6 inch pot, will they get too cramped and have issues? or do spider plant enjoy being cramped? any feedback or ideas are greatly welcome :)
I’m not sure if this is a good length to pot yet? Any advice ?
I am looking for recommendations on what I can plant on the side of my house. I’m very new to gardening so I need something tough 😅 but also safe for pets because we have outside pets. The side of the house I’m wanting to plant on doesn’t get much sun thought the day. I’d say by early afternoon it’s shaded over. I’m having a hard time finding something that doesn’t require full sun. I’m also in the Midwest if that helps. I was planning on moving my lavender to that spot but I didn’t realize that it needs full sun so I will have to move it to my other garden 😅
Should ficus roots (mine is a Ficus benghalensis "Audrey") look this red? I'm water propagating it. Most pics online are white or a bit orange (which is where mine started out) but this is like hot cheeto red now lol
So excited! I left my pineapple propagation for the weekend and come back to see he’s sprouted 4 little roots!!
Two patho propagations in the works and their mommy
I propagated a monstera deliciosa and I’m seeing two areas with root growth! Only the top one has an aerial root and the bottom one doesn’t, could I cut it and grow another plant with just the bottom roots or do I need that aerial root above?
I got this propagated mother of thousands about 6 months ago… it was growing new leaves fine. But recently now that the new leaves are growing, the leaves below it are dying off and now it’s just the base and the new leaves left. I don’t water super often (2-3 weeks maybe), it’s in a NE facing window, and the soil is a succulent mix I got from the nursery but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to save it? Is there a way to propagate what I have left?
Anyone know how I can propagate a monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant)? I would love a new Monsty baby!
Water propped my variegated butter plant about a 2 weeks ago. Look at her roots! Should I wait til 2”+ to plant?
