just chopped & propped my fiddle leaf fig! 🫣 i cut off her top and put it in water for the first time, because i have a hard time throwing alive foliage out lol. her other half (a stem and a single leaf) are still in the soil. every other year or so she gets this crazy haircut and comes back stronger than ever, but it's really hard to trust the process. i'm excited to see if the leafy half will root in water! wish me luck!
Hello, I have this golden pothos cutting that I have been keeping in water for quite awhile because it seems to do just fine that way. It has grown a ton of roots, but as of recently began yellowing at the base of the stem. Any ideas on what to do?
I had to propagate my donkey’s tail in an attempt to save it. Theres already little roots. What do I do next? Plant them when the roots are longer? Any advice appreciated ty!
So I found out that apparently you can propagate this type of hibiscus by cutting. While I can't save the mother plant by bringing it inside before winter hits due to space, I want to try to get some cuttings so it can live on. Where should I make these cuttings (see photo)
I dug up these crep Myrtle’s and this blackberry plant got them potted and I’m not 100% what type of blackberry this is if anyone knows let me know TIA
I think my monstera is ready to get potted. 😂🤣
Cactus Propagation I am trying to figure out the best way to propagate my cactus. In the image with the arrows I’m trying to decide which cactus leaf would be best to remove, the blue arrow, the pink, yellow, or two or three? I want to keep this cactus healthy, but it would be nice to have two propagates in case one fails. Is it best to twist the leaf off, or cut it? I believe I should then dip it in root hormone do I do that immediately or let it callous over first? If I let it callous how long do I wait to put the hormone on? I’m guessing it would then be best to place directly into cactus/succulent soil, versus water? I’m very confused on the timing of removal, root hormone, then when to put it in soil/water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
It’s growing so beautifully, I don’t know what to do next. Any tips? Is it time to separate
Desert rose seedlings. So far 26 out of 35 seeds have sprouted! 😁🌱🌞 Edit: 27 have sprouted!
Cactus from mixed seed in humidity dome, kept at 25⁰C (Automated UFH Stat and Probe) and 12 hour light. 3 little Heads in the last few days, what should my next steps be? I don't see many posts about seeding. Nothing happening yet with the other sized seeds, they'll probably take longer.
Plumeria Question!!! I’m noticing with all three of my plumeria cuttings that the top part with the leaves tend to squish up and not take root while the stem cuttings harden off and propagate nicely. Is there a specific reason for this? Am I just doing it wrong? Pic 1… top half and stem half of one cutting Pic 2… top half of a stem cutting (bottom half is doing well) Pic 3… my first cutting, couple months old, had same issue with top half of the cutting
i propagated this pothos directly into soil 1 week ago- the picture from the side view (right) was directly after potting and the one from the front of the house pot (left) was this morning. it has not started growing roots yet. i cut below the node and dipped it in rooting powder before planting it, and i’ve tried to keep the soil moist but not soggy. i also used a plastic bag over top to keep humidity. what should i do from here? i’m worried the leaves look a little droopy & im curious to if i should keep the plastic bag over top or not? i’m also open to any other tips so let me know any thoughts 😁😁
Help! 1. Why is the bottom of the leaves starting to yellow, 2. Should I repot or propagate? 3 If I should propagate, where do I make the cut?
My props mostly rot although I’m ensuring the node is in water. I ah e a few plant cuttings being delivered tomorrow so Any tips would be appreciated!
trying to prop my money tree cuttings and these white dots appeared ! i read somewhere that they are signs of roots wanting to grow so im excited ! (please tell me if its not that though so i can prevent disaster 😭🤣)
My pink princess was WAY to tall. So I chopped off like three feet and got 18 pieces to propagate.
is my snake plant ready to be potted or should i wait another month or so? i just can’t contain my excitement!!
Propagating for the first time and splitting my ZZ plant. Was very careful with roots when separating and repotting. Pot is about 1-2 inches wider than root ball. Watered it after repotting which was about 3-4 days ago. It’s in a north facing window. Total beginner so tell me why are the leaves yellowing? Do I need to just wait it out?
Anyone know how to successfully prop an orchid ? looking to try but i’m nervous and don’t want to kill it 😬
Are my props ready to be moved to the soil? They have been doing great in water for a few weeks now but would love to see them get bigger. Always nervous about moving from water to soil
