    I’ll go first… 🌱 Taking a cutting that doesn’t include a node. A stem without a node has little to no chance of becoming a new plant for many common houseplants and garden plants, including chrysanthemums.

    Putting the cutting in water without waiting for it to callus overnight. I used to do this before I knew how to properly propagate and my cuttings would just rot.

      I am a little impatient, i used to drop them right in (depending on the plant, coleus usually develop roots before they get a chance to rot!), but a friend taught me a trick to keep them from rotting- dip the end/s in candle wax if they’re going in water (like monstera, which take a while to start rooting). I’ve tried it & it does work! I don’t do it every time, but still a fun trick to put in your book :)

      Yes I have heard about that trick before! (Don’t tell anyone but I also put them in water before they callus sometimes too because I’m impatient lol)

      Interesting but which kind of plants? Many plants don’t need callus to propagate. Some will definitely rot without callus.

    Be patient! It’s a slow process! Wait till the roots have secondary roots before soil for best results! Here’s Gwen, my Hoya cutting, thriving after about 2 months in her first soil home! (Greenhouse is right tho, when it comes to succulents! They just need a hardy callus to be ready for soil)

    1. It’s not 100% guaranteed to work every time, don’t be discouraged if you get a few that rot! 2. Try to change your water weekly! (Unless you want it to smell like dirty feet, or lots of algae!) 3. If you’re using water, don’t transplant to soil until you see secondary roots (roots coming off of the original roots to make a Y or a T), 3a. Be sure to water daily and transition to 2-3 days after potting in soil while they transition for the first 7-14 days. This avoids “transfer shock”. Water roots are much more thin and fragile vs soil roots, they don’t have to work as hard to absorb water since they’re already sitting in it. 4. Don’t drop wet sticks right in water, unless there is a leaf attached - use a prop box* for single nodes 5. Consult with planta/ Facebook groups! 6. * try different methods! Experiment! Perlite, sphagnum moss, directly in soil, water, etc. Different methods work for different people, figure out what works best for you! And have fun making new little baby plants :)
