Hi everyone, I’d like to Propagate my split leaf however I don’t see any nodes to cut under. Can anyone suggest what I can do? I realize this may be a stupid question but do the roots count as nodes?

This is the before and after pruning my Bonnie, and all the spider pups I'm propagating. So excited.

Looking for tips for propagating this African Violet flower leaf. It came off the main plant and someone told me to put it in water. It now has these little shoots, does anyone know when I should plant it in soil? And what type of soil and pot? Thanks for any help!

Hi. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a mccolleys finale that got damaged because its lower leaves were on the cold floor of the outdoor greenhouse. I removed the dead/dying leaves and the plants are doing well now but the bottom is left very bare. With spring coming soon I’m wondering if I should chop this up and propagate the tops or separate the two plants or just leave it alone. Thanks in advance.

I found this beauty on fb marketplace and couldn’t say no! It’s been propagating in water for a few weeks according to the seller. I’ve never propagated anything before. I’ve heard propagating in perlite is really good? Or should I continue with water? If it stays in water how often should I change the water (and do I fertilise the water?) So many questions sorry! I’ve gone plant mad in recent weeks (i’ve finally put down roots of my own - excuse the pun - and I’ve always wanted loads of plants) :D

Any tips on how to pot this SOT cutting when the time comes? Thanks everyone who has helped me on my nightmare string of turtles journey! I was able to salvage this piece and have been propagating it! It’s going so well and has quite a few roots coming in!

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me identifying what plant this is. My grandma gave me the plant to propagate but did not know what it was. It has roots on it now, but I am unsure what type of soil, etc that it needs. Help! :) Thank you in advance!

Help! This is my second attempted to grow garlic in a pot. I can get them to sprout, but both times they last about a week before turning brown and decomposing. They are planted in a 50/50 mix of compost and potting soil. 😪🤷‍♂️

Hello everyone and happy Monday! I have been wanting to begin growing some sort of wildflowers for this coming summer, I live in Oregon. Has anyone grown flowers successfully? If so how did you go about doing so? I have over 100 houseplants and I’ve mastered the indoor plants but I want to get into growing wildflowers and other things outside. I was thinking of starting them in a prop box with some soil and plenty of light but I wasn’t sure if this would be successful way of growing them. Any ideas and advice would be great! 🌼

When watering my plant, this limb TRAGICALLY got caught on the kitchen cabinet and popped off 😭 I’ve never tried to propagate from a clipping before. Does this look like a good candidate? Just set it in a vase of water?

So I have a Christmas cactus cutting. Do you think the roots are big enough to plant into soil?

Mango tree sprout is doing well. Can anyone tell me of its normal for the leaves to droop down like they are? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi! This is Rosita, a neon robusta, I bought her last year on july in the same pot of the photos. Even though the pot lacks drainage, I believe she's thriving. I try not to overwater, I've never fertilized, nor repotted, nor added pesticides. Should I repot her? Completely or only part of her? I'm new at this and any advice is welcome. First photo is when I bought her vs. how she's looking right now.
