I grew these monstera seedlings from seeds in the spring, and these little guys have been growing strong all summer long, and some are nearly 12 inches tall! Iâm not quite sure what to do with these pups yet, but they seem to be thriving in the mean time. đ
How do you propagate a gardenia plant? Kind of disappointed in the app thought it would give instructions Am I missing something? Thanks
So, I made my first successful props ever. Iâm really new to plants in general let alone propagation, so I came in over-prepared. Read online somewhere that roots formed in soil tend to be a bit sturdier and obviously having them in the soil already prevents the shock of going from water to soil. So, I got some clear containers with drainage. Put about an inch of pea gravel in the bottom, a layer of premium potting soil in the middle, and started giving that bushy baby a haircut. Used hormone powder and cut some of them too far below the node so had to go fix my mistake and those plants are off to the side now. Topped with a very thin layer of pea gravel to discourage gnats, be pretty, and help support the props a little better while they rooted. I ended up with two medium sized plants, and 12 reasonably happy propagations. That was September 18. Itâs been about 3 weeks since then. About a week and a half ago, we had a huge cloudburst storm out of nowhere which resulted in the death of one vase and the near catastrophic loss of a polka dot plant and one of the medium pots that was sitting a little too close to the edge⊠so that resulted in about a dozen more propagations that are now rooting in a common container before I transfer them to their winter pots to give as gifts or swap. Total cost: $13 for one rootbound postseason purple spiderwort plant $~8 for premium potting soil $10 foe pea gravel $3 and some elbow grease for the containers, So for $34 and some sweat and tears I ended up with a medium sized mother plant and 24 babies. Theyâve been so forgiving of my newbie shenanigans. Highly recommend using clear containers if youâre using the soil propagation method because it makes monitoring moisture effortless. If youâre scared to try propagating, established plants from end of season sales are a great place to start to learn. I was so scared of failing and now I have them coming out my ears! Even those of you with a brown thumb⊠you can do this! Next on the list: seeding some succulents, and if thatâs successful maybe some coleus? Other suggestions for easy propagation plants/seeds?
Trying to prop these monstera cuttings I was given not sure if this is right way to go about it let me know please!
First time propagating succulents⊠now what? đŹ
These are Alocasia Ninja & Alocasia Melo corns and pups that were from plants that I recently got. I am new to propagating, but have done a bit of research. Should I use water only, perlite, or moss? Which is better?
Iâve been propagating some philodendrons and the roots are coming out! Is now a good time to pot them or should I wait longer?? Whatâs the goal root length/system? Thank you!
Does anyone know how to propagate this guy?
I had to cut up my philodendron mayoi today because she wasn't doing so hot đ© I have the main plant in water and the 2 babies reported in soil. Am I able to regrow the pplant from these stem cuttings? Or should I just throw it away?
When trying to root a schefflera cutting, how long do you let it callous over before placing in water?
Hello! Been steadily growing my houseplant collection, and I received this today (I think itâs an aglaonema?). I considered chucking this in a pot with soil, but now Iâm thinking of taking cuttings and propagating them. Where should I cut to get the cuttings for this? Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know if a polka dot plant would root along its stems if they were pinned down into the soil (kinda like you would do for a plant with areal roots. Pothos, monstera etc) My polka dot plant got super leggy, but now has grown new plants at its base It still has the long stems attached with some leafs still doing well at the top, so I staked it up as it was getting floppy. If I took off the dying leafs in the middle and then circled the stems around the pot and pinned them down do we think theyâd root? Iâve never been able to prop my polka dot cuttings in water.
My rubber plant cutting.
Ok (please donât come after me for my dirty screen) I wanted to try and propagate from my massive monstera so I clipped this little one out of the pot and put it in some rain water with a couple drops of Prop Drops. She has gave me 2 new baby leaves!!đ Iâm so in love with herđ„° My question.. -when should I repot this little joy in her own pot?
My little propagates đ„°đ„° (is that a word? Lol) Planting later today.
I have a miniature rose bush thatâs growing tall but Iâd like to make her bushier. Does anyone know if soil or water is the best way to root a stem clipping?
I finally successfully rooted Xmas cacti and ones growing a new pad đâ€ïž
I sowed these bonsai seeds in Sept 7th and only one is growing the (rocky mountain pine) one. Is there anything that I can do to make the others grow as well?
Saddest looking propagation pot ever⊠but they will pull it together! I am sure of it:)
My first dwarf umbrella tree âvariegataâ propagation from a cutting with two leaves attached to a bit of stem with 7 to 9 nodes on it. How long does it take these plants to root?
