Hi! 🧍🏻‍♀️ I need help with potting a monstera! My friend gave me 2 single monstera props about 6 months ago and they’ve both sprouted new stems and the roots look really good. She kept her monsteras in water but I’m wanting to plant them in soil in a nice pot. I’m terrified to kill them lol. Any advice?!? Can both of them go in the same pot??

I have five cuttings in sphagnum moss m. I bought them last November/December. The Hoya Finlaysonii is shown in the pictures. They have not declined. But, they have no new growth in 3 months. Root growth is slow. They cuttings are all close to grow lights. I have very little experience with sphagnum moss. So, I plan to remove the cuttings and place them in water until they grow enough roots to go into a chunky mix. I’m more comfortable growing hoya cuttings in water. I kept the cuttings in sphagnum moss after they arrived since they looked healthy except for the lack of new growth.

Is my Monstera cutting ready to be potted, or should I give the root a trim?

I have two sprouts coming off from my fiddle fig root ball (under soil). Any tips on how to safely remove them from the root ball and plant them by themselves? I fear they have been pulling too much energy from the main stem.

Hi! I just had a few questions about some free cuttings I took from our local garden center. I’m super excited for them and I would like to know the names of them if anyone could help. Also if there any recommendations on when to plant them and how, that would be appreciated too. I showed a few to a friend and they had told me some were rare, and I was wondering if that’s true? Thanks!!

Hi! New here and seeking advice for propagating ZZ's? I've had these sitting in a couple inches of water for about a month and not seeing any indication of growth. Is it just a slower propagation or am I doing something wrong?

Hello, I recently bought a beautiful pink dragon alocasia when repotting here I found 6 corms that were nice and healthy. Any tips on how to get them to grow? Like do I plant them in soil or can I grow them in water? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks :)

First leaves from my Scindapsus cuttings finally unfurled. Only took a cool 3 months 😅. Think I’ll wait for a second leaf before replanting with the mother plant. These two Jade pothos props have been in water about the same amounts of time. Was being lazy on potting them up. Added them with some other cuttings so the new plant should fill out nicely. Going to try some Maranta props next. Not sure if all of these cuttings have viable nodes, so we’ll see!

My first propagation! Spice rack from the dollar store + some rosemary cuttings + pothos cuttings. I read somewhere that having pothos in with another water propagation can help speed it up, so I did 2 with and 2 without as a sort of experiment. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks👍🏼

Has anyone had any luck with propagating Lavender? Mine unfortunately died. It was the first time though I didn’t just have it submerged in water first to produce roots… I did a little research and everything I read said to put it straight into soil. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of my failure.
