Silver inch plant (wandering etc) (idk the correct name). She’s been thriving in this water bottle but is this a build up of the water or mold? It seems to be spreading

    Tradescantia zebrina aka Inchplant :) I just looked at mine and they don’t have anything fuzzy on them, so it might be mold. I second the suggestion of spraying with hydrogen peroxide.

    Baby bunny bellies! I have a bunch of plants from props here. You want to rinse that off and change the water every other day or so. Roots grow better with oxidation from fresh water.

      Once you've achieved roots that are at least several inches long they can stay in water or you can add soil to establish soil roots. I kept the leaves off any part that went in the water on mine. The bunny belly variety is soft/fuzzy but any fuzzy white/yellow growth is not part of the plant and should be cleaned off and treated with neem or peroxide with a cotton swab

    The bottle’s neck looks crowded. Air circulation maybe poor. It also looks like bits of dead leaves or the flap around a new growth is rotting. Rinse as stated above. Check if the stems are rotting by wiping clean the area. Cut off the rotten stems, if any, and propagate again. I recommend: 1) removing any leaves debris that fall under water 2) using a wider mouth container for better air circulation 3) putting less stems in one jar so fungus/bacteria has less chance to spread 4) Changing the water at least once a week. Thoroughly clean and disinfect the containers each time.
