What did I just find?

I found this guy on the ground at H‑E‑B. The plant it came from was something I hadn’t seen before. A large stem that seemed to break open at the top and grow these “ears”. This one is about 4-5 inches across. Not sure how to prop so he’s stuck in well draining soil with some growth hormone. Anyone know what is is or how to care for it? Tx!

First Proplift

Saw this sitting in the shelf next to its mother plant (that was pretty big and gorgeous). No idea what kind of opuntia it is. Swooped it up and asked the lady if I could have it since it clearly is scabbed over and was on the shelf. She said yes!!

End was solid, not soft, fully scabbed over and zero mush.

How’d I do for my first proplift and what is this (if you can tell from this clipping)?

Soil 25/75 coir and Jacks gritty mix.

They call me, The Mossman(nobody calls me this)

Asked a local box store garden center if I could have some of the moss growing on their display shelves since they were just gonna scrape it off at the end of the season anyway. Turns out it peels off in sheets very nicely. Freshly washed and ready for application.

I'm no stranger to moss, but most of the moss species I have hitchhiked in through carnivorous plants, so they are adapted to intense light and boggy soil. This species is a shady lithophyte, a wonderful addition to the collection!

Should I cut???

I have 3 Syngonium wendlandii cuttings. They are rooting like crazy. Since I only have 3 should I cut where I have marked on the photos or should I just put them the way they are, let them grow more than prop from what has grown?

Tips for Tiny Plant?

I snagged this tiny philodendron pink princess and not sure if water propagation is the best method to help it grow strong roots. I have had it sitting in water w/ prop drops for 5 days now and will change the water every 3 days or when i notice it has biofilm on the roots. I was considering putting it in sphagnum moss but wasn’t sure. Does anyone have experience or help on how to best keep this tiny plant healthy?

Succulent

Not sure what these are but I'll see if they'll grow roots. Found them on the floor under the plant shelves at my local hardware store.

Is She Ready for Soil?

Are these roots developed enough for me to pot this begonia?

should i leave these as is or take the leaves off

i found these at work and idk if i should remove the leaves or if they’ll just grow roots like this? it looks like another leaf is starting to grow where one fell off. also should the perlite be moist or dry?

You wouldn’t download a Succulent… You’d pick them off the ground!

My collection of prop lifted succulents (all of which I found either on the ground or in the pot holders).

Asking for clippings

I have autism with level two support needs + many other disorders that make it difficult and challenging to be social

I've recently started to work on my social skills with baby steps (going out by myself and buying a treat for myself) but im still very anxious when I talk to people.

What's the best way of going about asking a place like an office or a neighbor if I can have a cutting of their plant to propagate? I feel like asking someone I don't know to give me a cutting is so weird and it makes me clammy even thinking about it. Anyone know how to phrase it in a way that doesn't make me sound like a weirdo???

When to pot? Also roots go up?

This is a water propogation and the roots seem to only go up? Not sure when to pot

u/Dependent_Car6386 — 6 days ago

Found a purple heart plant on the sidewalk with a few already snapped stems ☺️☺️

Walked to a gas station to buy something to improve my social skills and got myself an extra treat

Saved this little guy from the floor at my local hardware store the other day.

It's already grown two new leaves.
