Two of my fail proof propagation methods here - an empty chicken tender container from the grocery store and ziplock baggies. They’re in the “set it and forget it” stage but I noticed they’re all growing strong roots! It’s about 2 months since I started and I’ll transplant them to pots when it warms up in a few weeks. It results in SO many, I give about 100 little succulents away at the end of summer. ❤️
just some quick questions. for background, i planted some eucalyptus seeds, white sage seeds, pepper seeds, and tried the butterfly method to propagate my string of hearts. On the bottom of my shelf is one of the sage and the pepper seeds, middle shelf is eucalyptus, and top shelf is 2 more sage and the middle is the string of hearts. the post-it notes are the days i started those seeds. 1) is the humidity beginning to be to much from the domes and plastic baggies? there are lots of water droplets on the inside of the domes and bags and i’m getting worried that it might start getting to much. how do i know when it is too much and when should i remove the domes? 2) my eucalyptus seeds were doing ok, i had two cups with two sprouts each, but one with nothing. i went away for 5 days but made sure to have my sister water them the same way i was, but i came back and there was no new growth, and one of them even died. what should i do to fix it? 3) the string of hearts ( middle humidity dome on the top shelf) has not started growing any roots yet and i started it on feb. 1st. what should i be doing that i might not already be doing? sorry this was so long but i would really love some help!
Propagating is becoming my favorite process to regrowing plants 😩🖤 Snake plant already has a baby 🙌🏼
My prayer plant grew this long air root a while ago and now a leaf has grown out of the bottom of the air root! Do I cut it off and propagate it or just leave it? The leaf just unfurled a few days ago.
Hello! Complete novice here trying to rescue a jade plant I had for years and killed by overwatering…any hope with these stems I’ve rescued? What do I do??
Should I have potted these further in the soil?! *I just split this plant up so I don’t want to shock it too terribly.* However, both are growing almost completely sideways and there are nodes above the soil! I just stared at them long enough to annoy myself so I had to bring it here 😆
Knocked over and broke my 5ft string of hearts. Wish me luck!
My latest propagation successes! I love watching those roots grow! 💚
My microgreens are sprouting!😍
First attempt at succulent propagation with Echeveria and Hawthoria (I think). Some of the leaves plucked well and some didn’t so I cut some of the ends and I’m interested in seeing the difference if some will propagate and some won’t. For now they are all on a paper towel until they scab up. I’m thinking of putting the plantlets/babies in water and the leaves on soil, but I welcome all suggestions!
My white princess philo is an absolute monster. To propagate, would I cut the main stalk where the aerial roots are growing? Any tips for success appreciated ☺️
A friend blessed me with clippings of my favorite plant so far which is a monstera. So I had a clipping of this Beauty on me so I gifted it to him cause I’ll just get another one tomorrow but does anyone know about this plant any tips is much appreciated
Should I plant guys?
I was thinking of sowing some forget me not seeds in a terracotta pot, anyone got any tips??
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.
Had this shelf just sitting in the basement and my husband had the perfect idea for it! 🌱🪴
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!!
