Propped this guy and love watching it grow! Do I have to plant it or can I just leave it in the water?

I primed my ficus elástica and it didn’t give off that while milky substance like it did when I pinched it. What does that mean?

So excited, my very first time propagating Alocasias from corms and they are starting to leaf out! 😃🌿

This is a pup I snipped off my Echinopsis Chamaecereus - “Mardi Gras” - earlier this year. The parent bloomed, as well, and looks nuts.

My snake plant made two pups and I separated one of them to give to my friend 🥹 I was really happy to see some beautiful healthy long roots on the baby, I hope it’ll survive a quick plane ride (and of course for a long time after that)! Goodbye little one

i have a calathea that has stopped growing new leaves for the past month or so. i transported it home from college and it has not been happy since. i put it in the bathroom so it can get enough humidity, and there is a window so it’s getting the indirect light it needs. i have trimmed the dead leaves and brown spots shown in the photo. i think i may have overwatered it, but i’m not sure if that would affect its growth. the only other thing i can think of would be to add some fertilizer but other than that i have no idea, so i’d appreciate any suggestions!

My Peace Lily, Bee, has had mold in her soil for the past 3 days. Decided to taker her out of the pot, change her soil, and put her back in the pot. Would’ve gotten a bigger pot if she was rootbound, but her roots aren’t that big. Hope the mold stays gone! 😅😬😐

I visited a big nursery, that grows mainly succulents, a couple of years ago and this is how they propagate their Sedum morganianum, burro’s tail. Literally just tossing a bunch of leaves on top of succulent soil and wait for them to start growing. It was interesting to see! 🌿

I’ve been trying to propagate my giant stick cactus for ages without any luck - but I just checked these cuttings I’ve had in water for about a week and I’ve finally got some roots!! So excited. This is what I learned from my failures: must take cutting from a part of the plant that’s actively growing, ideally from the top of the primary stem. Let the cutting callus over for a week before putting in rooting medium. I did not have any luck putting the cuttings in soil to root despite letting them callous and using rooting hormone (3 months no roots). The roots line to be in the shade, so a prop cone or something is helpful (pretty sure this is true for most plants). This particular plant is apparently very slow to root, so I’m surprised to see roots after only a week - it seems like water is the best medium for me, but I’m no expert, this is just what I learned from failing! 😬

I have this thriving Hawaiian spider plant, but do you think it’s best to clip (and propagate) all of the bigger babies from the mama or do you think it’s okay to leave them? I don’t want the little babies to steal all of the nutrients, but it seems to be happy as it is 🤷‍♀️

Trimmed the money tree, hoping I trimmed it correctly. Hoping this takes.

This was my first attempt at propagating a snake plant. But it’s been almost 3 months without anything happening. Isn’t that longer than it’s supposed to take? 🤔 I switch the water once a week and have wiped off any slime jic. Any suggestions?
