r/proplifting

Here is my Purple Heart Tradescantia that I found on the floor of one of the big box stores. It is currently in perlite. I have found many varieties of tradescantia, they are always broken off and fallen from their pots, an easy prop to lift, if you will.

It’s been growing that green spiky vine, and the nodes have been getting bigger but are they supposed to be black? And the bottom of the cutting is kinda slimy and rotten looking. Should I cut the bottom off?

There were HUNDREDS of plants they just had out withering and throwing away. I was so shook. I hopped out my car and grabbed a bunch of random ones. I got these + a huge hanging fern 😂 thought yall would appreciate.

Gonna give them a nice clean and bug treatment and keep them away from my other plants for a while just to be safe :) I’m not even sure what all of them are! The lavender smells glorious though

What the title says.. wish me luck, I hope it works! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Pic is of a Monstera stalk (with attatched rootball) and leaves that I found at the top of someone's 'spring cleaning' leaf bags a few days ago.

I read that the leaves are a long shot because they don't have nodes at the base, but what do you guys think of the stalks chance to bounce back and take root?

I added the stick so that the weight of the plant is not on the root. It has come out at a 90° angle and felt very fragile.

Ignore Peter and Gwen in the background.

This is a heart leaf philodendron I rescued from a tray. Is there enough here to propagate? Thanks!

can I grow this sucker? do I put it directly into soil? or water? thanks in advance!

I took some cuttings from a friend's Standleyana thats growing out of control outside his house. I thought it would be fine just putting it in some water. Now the leaves are curling and turning black. Are they just dying off from being cut or should I have not put them in water?

I saw a monstera at HD that was broken off from the mother plant. In fact, there was no mother plant or pot from which it was obvious it came from. This was at the very beginning of my house plant journey around September 2025, where monsters, Alocasias and Caldiums all looked the same to me.

I approached a sales clerk and I told them about what I found. I asked if I could take it and they said yes. This is her today.

This is a cutting from a larger plant but it has all kinds of little rooties looking for water. Should I trim them off? It’s only been propagated for a week. I’m guessing these little water seekers were the mama plant indicating that it needed dirt or water.

got all these babies from the lowe’s garden center floor
THANK YOU LOWES
there were so many bigger chunks of the cactus laying around but this is the only one that fit my pocket😆
i’m planning on just chucking the cactus into some dirt, but idk if you can tell from this pic, it has like some holes on both sides, is that gonna be an issue?

I would love to have more Dahlia’s I have no clue if there’s a way for me to do that with this plant or if I’m just gonna have to buy more

I got this plant from a bachelorette party and it's dropped a couple of leaves.

I've stuck some in the dirt to see what happens but those have all gone mushy.

What is this, can I propagate it, and how would I propagate this (if the leaves that drop off were healthy)?

You guys are great, I'm loving all the creative ideas in here! This is my haul from a job today, client had some even cooler succulents but they were so small and few I didn't even ask about those ones.
