Philo Propagation Help
Hello, All! I am desperately seeking advice on several philodendron stalks that I am attempting to propagate. My ultimate goal is to replant them with the main plant to make it fuller.
First and foremost, the mother plant from which these trimmings came is the love of my freaking life. Such an easygoing, lovely plant. It routinely grows to the ceiling, and I trimmed it once before and placed the cuttings in dirt, as I read that the roots grow stronger in dirt than they do in water. Well, the trimmings held on for about two months, and then the leaves completely died. When I pulled the stalk out of the dirt, I found that it hadn’t grown a single root.
Six months later, I’m back to the drawing board, as the plant was once again about to touch the ceiling. So, I cut off three large stems and placed them in water. I’ve been switching it out every 7 to 10 days or so, and I’m noticing today that I have one little root that has finally emerged, but the other stalks don’t look that great. I am very worried about them dying. What would you recommend that I do to salvage them?
