Guess I need to start drinking more wine. Four inch root and a new leaf, this is my happiest prop!

When will golden pothos cuttings be ready to put in dirt?

First time propagating and I chose my String of Hearts! Any advice is welcome 😁

Is this Begonia ready to pot?

Just picked up this golden pothos today. How long should I wait before trying to propagate?

I’m not sure if this is right 😅 these are wet sticks of Monstera Deliciosa and Philodendron Burle Marx. I don’t have Sphagnum Moss, so I used my Leca. Any other tips or suggestions to make them root?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows exactly how to propagate a narrow leaf chalk stick succulent? Mine is getting super tall! Thanks in advance!

For anyone who has seen my posts/comments about growing cacti from seeds, the first one sprouted a few days ago! I think another one sprouted today too. I can’t wait until it has lil spikes soon ☺️

I am looking to purchase water propagating, rooted Thai constellation Monstera plants, how easy is it to transfer these to soil after they have rooted (how well do Monstera plants do transferring from water propagation to soil)

Guys how do you propagate a cactus like this?! I really like him (Bob) and wanted more! Sorry if you see this post twice on Cactus and Succulents!!

My baby cucumbers have grown so much! I’m going out of town soon and I’m afraid there gonna grow out of the humidity “jar.” I also need to get a bigger pot and a support thingy!

While I do find the Planta light meter useful to get a general idea of a spot, the $5 Lux Light Meter has been my jam due to the foot-candle measurement; if you don’t know what a foot-candle is, then you haven’t spent full weekends each new 2023 season marking up screenshots with times and locations to figure out how to get light requirements without moving a table twice a day for the rest of your life. Also, one doesn’t need to know what a foot-candle is to successfully grow plants haha. This would also not be a problem if I could do math and relate it to an Almanac of the sun’s position each season. I asked a grad student to calculate this, but she just laughed.

Regarding Lithops, here is the way I calmed down on the overthinking. However, I’m only one and a half years since I learned of the existence of Lithops. Mine look healthy, but it could be another 40 years of this. Search “Great Karoo” or even “Lithops in the ground” and you can see how gnarly they can look in their desolate South African fields. You’ll also see how flat they sit; those who survive have 0 need to reach for the sun because it’s blasting all day. You can see I’ve tried to follow the “keep them flat” with mine (especially the five-pack), even occasionally adding a little more top layer. The attached photos (no clue how to attribute those, but they are mostly from a Wisconsin edu excursion) show that rough “quartz field” terrain mentioned in advice on Lithops potting mix. Side note that this area is home to a huge number of the odd Haworthia, Baby Toes and all those with windows/eyes on top of their various heads. It is a spot that is highly irradiated due to whatever makes the sun feel like there is a hole in the ozone; that analogy comes from living in a Caribbean country where one town’s concentrated heat made me feel like the Sun was aware of me and friends, and the sunburn pain and heat fever were the worst I’ve ever endured. The illustration is from Wiki and visually answered, for me, what’s going on under these dudes. Here are the “long roots” etc. After seeing them outside of the indoor beauty standards, you get a better idea of their resilience.

I finally was able to pot one of my Golden Pothos clippings. She had a nice long root and I finally decided it was time to move her to a pot. So excited. I got this cute pot yesterday on a pack of 4. They are adorable.

Help! I’ve done many water propagations before but I feel like they always get root rot instantly. I had only gave this pothos a good soaking once and the long roots that grew in water were all mushy and fell off. The same happened with a silver inch plant prop. I recently decided to finally do a propagation of my pink princess philodendron, which grew good roots in water, but I’m afraid it will do the same thing. This time I made my own soil mix with miracle gro all purpose + added perlite and orchid bark. I’m hoping it grows well from propagating, but any tips are welcome to avoid root rot! Should I use something other than soil to get it acclimated to soil?

Hi all! I’m hoping for some advice as to how to propigate this Green Fat Boy Philodendron! I recently got a Pink Dalmatian that was propagated in water and did lots of research about how to transfer it to soil, and did so successfully (I think, it look good thus far at least). So i want to try and propagate this Fat Boy, but I’m not too sure how. Any advice is much appreciated!! Thank you all, Jazy

Does anyone know how to propagate a common houseleek? She has a baby and I want to get some more!
