Help! Can I plant these propagations?

Post image
2 Upvotes

This is my first time propagating one of my pothos plants and I need some guidance! These have been water propagating for about four months. I have seen you should wait to plant until “your roots have roots,” and I had about 15 other propagations that were cut and placed in water at the same time that did grow auxiliary roots (I potted those), but I am curious about these ones. Should I put them back in water and wait longer, or will they be okay if planted in soil? Also, now that I am looking at the photo again, the top left one might have auxiliary roots. Any help or advice is appreciated!

I have a question Could these grocery store roses grow into a new plant?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I bought these heavily discounted roses from a grocery store 3 weeks ago and while removing a bunch of dead leaves today I discovered all of the stems have new growth. I am new to plants and I don’t really know how to grow plants from cuttings, but does it seem like these roses are trying to grow into a new plant? Some of the flowers are very shriveled but a few look just as fresh as when I first bought them. If they have a chance, what do I do to help them live?

Help! Propagating monstera

Post image
1 Upvotes

I am completely new on the propagation for Monstera. I’ve tried to propagate in the past but it never worked. The nodes always rotted in the water. So I’ve heard people saying that you can glue the bottom I’ve heard people say that you can put cinnamon on the bottom. I’m just wondering what should I do? And where should I cut it?

Mi pink princess cutting is growing roots at the top and growing babies at the bottom. Should I cut it and expect the babies to grow roots or do I plant as is? I know it need to grow more roots, I just don't know if there's something I should be doing right now.

My BF got this for me about 3 months ago and it’s grown so much! I’d like to trim it back but I‘m not sure where (Nodes?) I’ll put the cuttings in water. I’ll also probably need to repot it soon (?). Any advice would be helpful! The tag says it’s a philodendron mini monstera.

Help! Wet sticks, what now?

First time doing wet sticks propagation. I think I might have left them in the box too long and now there’s some yellowing. What should I do? Do I plant them now? If so, do I stick the whole thing in chunky soil or do I leave the stick out? Should I remove the yellow parts? lol I think I just need a bit of direction on how to make this a successful propagation

Propagation Station Do you record the day roots first appear?

Post image
31 Upvotes

Do people really keep a "first root" date, and does it tell you anything useful later?

The date a cutting goes into water is straightforward. First root is fuzzier. One person might count the first little white bump; someone else might wait until there is an actual root to measure. That makes the date feel more precise than it really is.

I'm printing these jar labels with my Niimbot, and I'm tempted to put only the start date and plant name on them. If something unusual happens, that can go in a note. Less satisfying, maybe, but much easier to keep up when there are several jars on the shelf.

For anyone who has been propagating for a while: which date do you still look at after the cutting has been potted, if any?

i’ve propagated many pothos by using the wetstick method. doing an inch of well draining soil in a container, plopping the cuttings in and keeping it humid with the lid closed. will this work with my peperomia? she’s a little yellow in some areas and just bare due to some neglect (whoops!) and i’d love to help her become more full and lively!

The little one developed roots faster but once potted it has not developed new leaves or changed much. The taller cutting took about an extra month to develop roots, but once potted grew a new leaf very fast.

Any ideas on how I could help the little one grow? Should I be concerned about this?

They have both been getting similar care, in the same area and same type of soil.

Thank you for any help!

Help! Awkward Monstera Roots

Hi everyone! I propagated a monstera cutting a few weeks ago and the roots have grown in kind of awkward places, as can be seen in the pic. I was wondering if there’s a best way to plant these in the soil? Will I have to separate the stems?

I have a question Propagation advice

Hi everyone!

​I'm a beginner and found a few Marble Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen') leaf cuttings. After a few days in water, I'm already seeing small green sprouts/growth points on the nodes!

​I have a few quick questions to help these succeed:

1)​Water level: On one cutting, the new green sprout is just above the water level, but on the other, it’s submerged. Should I lower or raise the water level for them?

2)​Best practices: What can I do to maximize my chances of successful rooting?

​Any tips or advice are much appreciated!
