My best friend passed away this week. Her husband said I could take home a cutting from her monstera. I need cutting & airplane travel advice please!

Hello! Hoping someone may be able to help me with propagating this elephant bush (Portulacaria Afra)! I keep failing at it and I’m not sure why! I got these cuttings from my Aunt, might have left them out of soil a few days too long to callus though. I watered thoroughly after planting then have left it alone for over a week, and now leaves are dropping off. Any suggestions?? Could I be planting the cuttings too deep?

This echeveria is under a grow light but is still etiolating and from my understanding they shouldn’t do this. Should I chop and prop? If so, do I just chop the top off where its sparse? I appreciate any help!

How do I get my baby peace lilies to grow bigger and bloom flowers? Also how long does it normally take to grow into a large pot?

Hellur! Can someone tell me if this is enough of a callous before putting it to dirt?

My girl is officially too tall for the room. I’ve had it for 4 years now, found half dead on the side of the road. I know I can chop and propagate but I’m scared!!😬

Hi everybody! My mom gifted me her 4 aloe vera plants that she’s been growing for years. As you can see it’s gotten a little out of control… What’s the best way to clean this up and separate the plants without damaging them? Also, should I wait until next spring to repot since fall season is already here. Would love to hear how you’d tackle this. Thanks!

Hello!! I had cuttings of this prayer plant (?) that was not doing well in its pot. TLDR, I took two cuttings and have had them in water to facilitate root growth to save the plant. Are the roots at a point where I can replant them yet? I’m still new to planting, so any help is appreciated!!

Are these pothos ready to be planted with soil? Should I wait for more roots? I’m new to this. A friend gave me a cut of their giant pothos and I’m not sure what to do with it

Do Hoyas like to prop in water or soil? Thinking about planting now that there are secondary roots.

I didn’t know these grew flowers. I also didn’t know these would grow a whole new vine. I’m just wondering how do I cut it and when should I cut it? I figure I should use it to start a new spider plant, but I don’t know exactly what I’m doing.

Hey, I’ve never done propagation from a cutting before… is this right or too much water? Thanks

I’m trying to propagate my snake plant. I had it put in water for a while. Is this amount of root enough to put it in soil? I feel like the left one might be enough but maybe not the one the right. Any tips would be useful! Its my first time propagating this plant! Thanks!

Help! I'm not sure what to do with my monstera adansonii, as it has no leaves in the middle but is pushing more growth at the ends. Should I cut it back and propagate??

I'm new to succulents. This guy was doing great and gave 2 pups without me doing anything. But, within the couple of weeks it dropped majority of its seeds. Several questions, first, have I placed the seeds ok for them to grow? The 2 already growing, are they big enough to repot? Now, the main guy, I need to chop and replant, anything special I need to do? I don't want to lose it.
