Does anyone know of any good organic potting soil brands? Is the Planta brand one good? I have to repot one of my plants, but I’m really worried about fungal gnats or purchasing rotted soil.

Will the Planta app correctly schedule water changes/nutrients etc for water propagation? I’ve only done soil but I want to try water, so I don’t know what I’m doing/should be looking for other than the insane spread of information online.

Hi, new here. OK so, I have a LOT of little pieces from various succulents. I read to just lay them in soil and mist them every couple of days, but I just don’t think anything is happening. Any suggestions?

I have these two plants I was hoping to propagate. One is a haworthia and the other is a snake plant. Any recommendations if water or soil would be better? Any recommendations are very much appreciated :) I’m still really new at this

When I looked up how to propagate this guy it said to cut and put in water but it’s looking a little weird…is this normal? Should I keep waiting or transfer to soil? It’s been about a week and the water was completely new when I put them in this jar. They went in at the same time but the middle cutting seems to be collecting way more water.

Made a new set up with some left over macrame yarn for my seeds! I think it’s a cute way to keep them up, in the sunlight, and out of the way! 🄰 (it’s very shady rn cause it’s about to storm, I promise they get TONS of sunlight normally!)

How can I propogate snake plant leaves in water?

Just pulled my snake plant propagation out to check on it—there are tiny roots!! I’ve tried both water and soil prop, so far soil is working. I started this around the beginning of April. 🤩

Hello! I have this spider plant I’ve had for almost two years , and I noticed now it’s got like 4 plants in one pot. Should I separate them?! I’m not sure if I should now since it has two new shoots coming in I’m assuming are for flowers or pups. What should I do? Leave it alone?

I still have red leaves in April but what do you all think? Should I cut the tall branch and try to propagate? If so, in water?????

Not even 2 months ago this number was 123 and this number isn’t accurate because I just got 13 pups off of my sapphire tower. Yikes….i have a lot of plants!

Hello! I need some help with my baby dracaena, I literally just slid it out of its pot, and it only had one tiny root that broke off immediately when I tried to see how stable it was, I put it in water to grow more roots, is that the best thing to do? Ps my other one I tried to pull it out but it wouldn’t come out so I’m gonna just leave that one alone. (It’s the one in the dirt. My hand for size reference)
