Hi plant friends! Did I do this prop correctly in LECA? I know I’ve been told this plant can take a long time to prop, but I feel like months is too long. And the bottom nodes sometimes rot in water prop so I thought I’d switch it up for a chance to save this. I was thinking the nodes sit within the LECA, but the water is under the nodes to not saturate the nodes but more for humidity to promote rooting..? TIA for any help out guidance 🤗

This marble pothos has been a twig in water for 2 months now with no change. I was literally walking over to throw him away when I saw this green!! I can’t believe it! Also, is anyone else using thrifted shot glasses for water propagation? 😅

🌱🌱 Look at these little babies! 😍💚 Should I pop them in water or soil to propagate first, or do you think it’s still too early to separate them? I’d love to hear what you’d do! 🪴

This mama plant has been busy! 🌱💕 She’s produced so many babies, and I’ve already repotted 11 of them! I’m wondering what everyone recommends — should I leave some of the babies attached to mama, or is it better to separate and repot them once they’re established? Any tips are welcome! 🪴

So I have this Aolcasia nobillis. She started out with this gorgeous pink variegation & currently has only two (still gorgeous) green and white leaves. Any ideas on what happened?

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree I first purchased my Fiddle Fig plant at Lowe’s on clearance for $3. As you see my Fiddle Fig leaf tree has thrived and now has gotten very tall. I do believe it’s time for me to propagate, but I’m scared. I know it will be so good for her, but I’m just afraid to do what needs to be done 🫣 Can anyone off me some advice on getting out of my own way and just give my girl the hair cut she needs.

I’ve propagated a handful of plants but I’ve never seen leaves growing under water. Is this normal? I’m wondering how I’ll pot it if the roots are higher than the leaves.

So about a week and a half ago I propagated my monstera plant. I now have two plants with established roots. I’m not sure what to do next to make sure I have a large plant with fenestrations leaves, any recommendations?

Took a walk in our local park nature perserve area today and was really studying all the plants as I walked by today for the first time ever really. I kept wondering if there were any that I could cut and take home to propagate. Does anyone know? Has anyone ever done that? I live in the South Jersey area. Hopefully it’s legal 🙏🏼💚 Poison ivy also grows wildly in this area so I’d need to make sure I avoid any ivy’s it’s hard to tell which might be poisonous. Photo below of my little spider plant props at home. I tried an experiment this week where I put some spaghum moss in their water. So it almost looks like they are potted in glass containers. They trying their hardest to make roots 🙏🏼💚

Propagating my pothos! This is all I have left of my plant so I really want to succeed with this one. Any advice?

Anyone know why this propagation isn’t growing like the others? It only has roots but they aren’t growing into the dirt very much. Should I take him out from under the grow light? 1st and second pic shows what it looks like now! Last pic are my other props. I got them all in May!

My cuttings are rooting 😊 When would be the best time to transfer them back with the rest of the plant? And should I change the water? She’s been in this water for 4 days.
