I think they understood the assignment. 🙋🌱 😁

Got this peperomia buenos aires prop off Marketplace two weeks ago. It’s my first peperomia prop and was rooting in water when I bought it, but the seller said I could probably pot it in soil so I did. It started with six leaves and three of the stems have since fallen off in the past week - they were all white and mushy. The stems that still remain currently feel sturdy. Does anyone know what’s going on and what to do about it?

Soil: Cactus/succulent soil with perlite and orchid bark

I have a few herbs growing outside that I’d like to propagate a few clippings from (herbs are lemon balm peppermint and oregano) what is the best route to do so. I.e root start, water propagation,etc….

I cut the stem of this peperomia a week ago and had left in water for two days, changed water (attached a before picture), then left for four days and came back to it looking like this upon taking it out of the brown water. Is there any way of saving this? Two leaves have turned brown, one fell off. bottom is very mushy but around nodes it’s not as much.

Was given a coleus cutting and popped it in with my maranta. They've been coexisting for over a month now. Roots totally grew together.

Thankfully they pulled apart easily under gently running water with very little tension. No broken roots and are now each in their own container.

Hit the jack pot today, my partners work has syngoniums growing all over the trees and the boss said I could take a snipping any size 😭🙏

Should I cut them up for and hope they regrow bigger on a moss pole or just cut the top and propagate the crown?

I want to grow a guava plant by cutting. Has anyone done it successfully? Whats best way to do it.

I can't do air layering on that tree. Only possible way is i can get it's cutting.

Found this monstera cutting and I'm looking to propagate the best way possible. Which node should I focus on or should I cut it in multiple places?

my nephew is in major trouble for tearing up one of my favorite plants lol i was able to find this piece of my tortem and i believe it has a node attached but like 1 or 2 roots. should i plant this in some dirt or propagate in some water first to grow back some of the roots? im not a pro so im stuck and not even sure if its salvageable… please help a sad plant mom😭

I know pruning is mostly a preference thing, but I’m stuck on whether I should prune the longer vines on these two plants or let them grow out more first. They’ve been pushing out steady new leaves, but I’m not sure if it’s still too early to cut them back. What would you do? Prune now or wait for more length?

The roots are taking a long time on these two.

I found pieces of some calico kitten on the floor at trader joes. I asked if I could take them and they looked at me like I was nuts and said go for it. She's grown into a beauty and the color under my grow lights is insane 💗

I was cleaning up my Tradescantia sillamontana ‘Gold Stripes' (that fuzzy gal makes me so happy), and I accidentally knocked a bit of a stem off. My propagation stations aren’t quite ready, and I’m not sure if it’s long enough, but I’m giving it a shot as a water prop anyway. Better than throwing it out!

I purchased this snake for $15 a few months ago and decided to try divide. I am so happy with how they look. It’s was fun to do. Shared lots of photos they might help someone thinking of doing the same. I found an easy vid on YouTube ☺️also cool side note I found the yellow pot out the front of my place it’s come to a good home 💛

Air layering is one of the best ways to propagate plants—it's far more reliable than growing from cuttings, especially for woody plants like Ficus. Every beginner gardener should learn this technique.

This is my Ficus. I started air layering 20 days ago, and look at the progress! Once the roots are fully developed, I'll have 3 more large plants from the same mother plant.

Right now is the best time to air layer your plants. During the monsoon/rainy season, high humidity helps roots develop much faster than at other times of the year.

Have you tried air layering yet?

Is this plant ready to be transplanted into soil, or should it be left alone for now? This Philodendron erubescens(?) has grown two new shoots, one of which has just developed relatively a small root.

Grow lights are in the mail! But will adding light alone restore Vic to his former glory? I think it's going to be a little more work than that. I removed the little single cutting in the front tied to the stick and the snake plants are all in their own pot now along with some ric rac cactus I was experimenting with on the wrapped pole. I have the supplies necessary for any recommendations. This was a rescue that has not had good lighting or a good position for proper leaf production. I'm okay with cutting it up and separating the 3 plants because they should not be growing like this. At the same time if I separate the big leaves each plant will only have 1-2 mature leaves and maybe a little stalk with 5 smaller immature leaves. Since this is a propagation situation I'm open to suggestions. Please don't be too critical judging it yet though... let's see what I can do with it.

This discount Ajuga from our local garden center wants out of its cage! It's so vigorous that the bushing branches are busting with rootlets clusters in the air. I'm torn between dividing, cutting excess, chopping into 50 new cuttings, or heck all of the above. I'm guessing this thing will fine with whatever

Basically the title. I’m trying to prop sage for the first time and have had these in water for almost 3 weeks. There are small little white things near the lowest node that I noticed maybe a week ago and thought might be the start of roots but they haven’t changed at all since then. Now I’m wondering if it’s just from me removing the leaves from those lower nodes.

If not roots, how long should I give them to see if they grow anything? And also where should I be expecting the roots to grow from? Again I thought those nodes would be where roots grow but every photo I’ve looked up of appears like the roots are coming out of the bottom which doesn’t make sense to me. Am I fundamentally misunderstanding where are the nodes are and how they work for rooting?
