i haven’t owned succulents or done any propagation in 5 years but i’m holding out hope for these newer cuttings 🤞💚 any tips for this method would be appreciated greatly, as it has been awhile 😮💨 i plan to mist again once the soil is fully dry. it sits in my west-facing windowsill from noon until sunset, otherwise on my shelf. is my routine raising red flags or needing improvement?
Okay i’ve been working with this one for about a year- propagated from cuttings: she used to be thriving, but a couple months ago my cat tore off the new growth😭 (hence why she is in a hanging planter now) it’s looked like this for months with no new growth, any advice?
When repotting what I believe is a Chinese Evergreen (pictured), I noticed this guy. It hasn’t grown leaves or anything in months & when I dug it out, noticed it’s not really growing roots either. Is there something I can do to rescue it or propagate using this piece? Or should I just toss?
My sisters snake plant fell over and was lost for like 2-3 months. Found it today and the mad lad was growing a pup!!
Hello, I’m new to taking care of plants and I just got catnip plants from the nursery, they look a little rough because they were in a box for a few days during shipping. I originally got them to disuade pests in the apartment from coming to my unit, but I also have a cat and limited window space so I can see us needing more in the future. Since money is tight and I don’t want to keep buying new plants, I want to propagate them when they’re healthier. Does anyone have any tips for a beginner for propagating catnip? Blog posts made it seem relatively simple, but I would love to hear more opinions and experiences
To anyone wanting an update, the proto-roots have began to grow back! But I also have a question. When can I transfer pothos props to soil?
Any one know the best way to propagate my dieffenbachia?
Hello, I’m new here. I have one of my caladiums, elephant ears, who is taking off like a champion. I found out I have a flower, unsure of its purpose or what to do if there’s anything to do with it. Any tips and advice would be nice. It looks like my red flash also have to flowers and just wanna make sure I can do anything that’s needed for them.
I seem to have a bonus baby in my caladium “Hilo Beauty”. It’s not near any alocasia. All Hilo leaves come out with the pattern. Anyone know what it could be?
Any tips on snake plant props?
How can I get seeds from a Carolina reaper that hasn’t sprouted? How do I get seeds from thyme, lavender, and a Venus fly trap?
Hi! I’m looking for information and advice. I recently received five rooted inch plants (T. zebrina) in the mail. I planted them separately to test different locations to see which conditions in which this plant performs best. This is my only one located outside. Her stem had grown to include two new nodes (the fastest growth along with one other location). She is the most advanced in putting out what I think are new stems and the only one putting out what I think are roots. She has a stick-looking spider friend that blends in well with her furthest inter-node space. Is she putting out roots because she isn’t getting enough water? She’s in a pot without drainage (I know how terrible that is now 🤦🏻♀️) so I’m being very careful with her watering. My ultimate goal is to drill some holes in the bottoms of her container (it has a little mesh in the bottom for water to drain into and a layer of rocks at the bottom, but I know she would do better with actual drainage and possibility for air flow. Does anyone have any other advice or information?
My babies are growing so beautifully. Will have to break one of them out lol 🤭. Can’t wait to plant them.
My white princess fell over because I’m a DA 😭 please telll me that it can magically be propagated. I just might be sick over this
Hey friends. I’m a novice propagator and I usually prop in water and move all my props to a generic houseplant soil mix… I’m looking to get a bit more specific with what each plant prefers soil-wise, but I confess it’s a bit overwhelming and I don’t really know where to start without buying like 25 different mediums to mix and I don’t have the storage space for that. Any guidance and tips would be greatly appreciated! TIA 💚
Are these 2 pothos and the mini monstera ready to be potted??
Wow🥹 This is two weeks of root growth!
Has anyone ever successfully propagated a pineapple top? My son asked me to try and I found two different suggested methods. The first said slice the top off and let it dry out for a couple of days and then stick it in the soil. We tried that and two days later we spotted a little mold so I dug it up and the entire fruit base was covered in green mold. Several leaves had turned brown and I was ready to pitch it but remembered there was a second way. Because it had already started molding on what was left of fruit I’m guessing it is a long shot but trying it anyway. We cut off all the fruit and removed all the dead leaves and cut the dying ends off the remaining leaves. At the base of the between where the leaves where attached we noticed what appeared to be possible root starts so we applied rooting powder and put it in cactus mix. Like I said, I’m not super hopeful that we can make this work but if anyone has suggestions I’d love to hear them. Just thought this would be a fun little experiment.
This came off of my string of heart plant. I don’t know what to do with it. Does anybody know if it will grow?
