i bought a new maidenhair since my last one didn’t make it </3 i’m planning on cutting the fronds off the dying plant and propagating both of them together in a larger plastic pot i’m assuming after some time their roots will intertwine and maybe help stimulate some new, healthy growth with the sick maidenhair. any advice is welcome! if this is a bad idea lmk lolol <3

I have a snake plant that I want to propagate, but idrk how. Can someone who's does this before tell me how pls? Greatly appreciated! Some of the leaves also look droopy, any tips are great too! Edit: so literally right after I posted this, I was just taking a look at the plant and I just slightly pulled a droopy leaf and that leaf and a few other newer ones came right out! I saw it only had a few roots and I think the pot is TOO big for the plant I am going to set this part of the plant in water. It may also be a root rot? Again, any tips, PLEASE 🙏 (the photo of the roots is part of the edit)

Hey plant peeps , I appreciate all the help… This is a plant I just put together from cuttings from my Pothos. This is the first time I have ever put any cuttings from water into soil wondering how much I need to keep the soil wet? Or how often ?

I planted some flower seeds in these pots last spring (2022) and they all died. Now i know better and found these two seedlings early spring (2023). I water them multiple times a week and use a plastic container to keep things humid for them. What am I doing wrong? Why won’t they grow? Am I just impatient?

can someone comment some tips on propagating baby toes succulent (Fenestraria aurantiaca) also, i’m not sure if these pups are healthy enough to propagate. i haven’t had much luck with propagating this succulent, but i’m determined to become a plant grandparent! any info about propagating succulents and root development would help tremendously🫡

Can anyone identify these? We found them when reporting a Monstera Deliciosa we just brought home from the plant store. I didn’t think monsteras grew corms? There was a small leaf that didn’t look anything like the monstera growing in with the plant.

Y’all!! What’s happening to my babies?! 🥲 Their leaves are turning yellow! What am I doing wrong? Are the roots bad? I’m adding a few drops of liquid fertilizer a week but nothing is helping😫

I messed up. I got a cutting from a doomed plant at Home Depot thinking it was a some kind of pothos. Almost 2 weeks later and no roots. I found out today it’s actually a silver monstera. Does anyone have experience with these, and how long should it take to get roots? This will be my first monstera.

Went on vacation and I came back to this pothos cutting’s THIRD baby leaf. No clue why it’s not pushing out roots instead, or when I should pot it.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to propagate string of dolphins from a wet stick? I have a plant in soil, along with these water propagations, and forgot to water it recently so some leaves died (now I have a few stems that are pretty bare). Oh and this plant is named Finnick after Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games (because he’s from district 4 which is the fishing district) :)

Has anyone ever tried (1) propagating a flower from a bouquet? and/or (2) rooting a cutting in a potato?

I just got this black velvet alocasia not even two weeks ago and upon bringing it home I noticed this… I’m assuming it’s a baby! But where do I go from here?

The top of my flaming Katy broke off, so I’ve had it in water for a little over a week. Any tips to help it get roots faster? We’re heading out of town this weekend and I’m not sure what to do with it. If I can plant him in soil I can take him with me.

In January I saw a video about rooting an acorn, and have been caring for this little one since late February. Now it’s June, and we got a couple new tiny leaves this week!
