Finally got my Oregon rosemary to root in water. Is it ok to plant in a clump rather than separating the individual stems? I’ve separated individual stems when transferring to soil in the past and they never seem to take off. The pot is about 3 gallons that I’m transferring to. Thx for the help.

These were on one of the shelves already fallen off next to plants but nowhere near the plants they came from. I figure someone wanted to prop and chickened out. So I put them in my purse. But I don’t feel bad I bought 3 plants too.

I found this leaf on the floor while shopping for office plants. I slipped it in my pocket and brought it back with me. I didn't think anything would come of it, but it's been a few weeks and just look at it! Now if I can just get it to grow some decent roots.

My aunt gave me a huge cutting from her pothos. It's been sitting in water for around a month (I change the water every now and then). When can I transfer it to soil? And how can I best keep it alive while it grows roots and after the transfer?

Been in this old, big mason jar the whole time, just from a grocery store avocado pit, about 28” tall now with no plans to change the process 👍🏼

So I just bought a cute little dwarf umbrella last week…and then found this monster today in a 3’ tall vase abandoned next to a corner trashcan. I’m honestly not even sure which end is up - best way to propagate this into something manageable and attractive??

Employee was stocking plants and saw a huge handful of pink panther tradescantia pieces on the cart. Decided to just ask for them and he was nice and had no problem with it ☺️ Was out shopping for a few more hours so I didn’t get them in water right away but hopefully these root a little so I can plop em in soil with less worry! Will probably put a little ziplock bag over for humidity for more of a prop box environment

Took a “tradescantia family photo” recently (majority grown from just cuttings!) and this was one that was suggested as my next addition - today was the day apparently!

Snagged a rescue/discount $5 Moses in the cradle as well! ☺️🙃🤓

Edit: and by Lowe’s, I meant Green Acres! Whoops! Too many stores today lol

AI tells me this is a " Monstera cf. obliqua Canelos ". Is that accurate?

Should I take the many cuttings route or only root the bottom node in water?

my monstera has been water propping for about nine months. working on putting out the third leaf since, but is smaller than the two previous.

what fertilizer can I give use to help boost the growth? i would like to keep her as a water prop long-term. i’ve been researching and i plan to buy an air stone. is there anything else i should be doing?

she’s a cutting from a monstera left on a curb as trash, so i would really love to make her thrive even more!

I've been collecting begonia propagations to work towards a waterfall paludarium with lots of pops of red from begonias. She's a few months old and many of the begonias are exploding!

I propped some Thai basil from the fixings at a phở restaurant. It's going really well, and I separated and repotted them into bigger pots.

Hi fellow plant peeps! I recently took a cutting from a haworthia plant I have that looked rough around the base but was still growing at the top (my last apartment was not great on lighting) and this segment looked a little separate. I think I vaguely remembered seeing that you can do that with haworthia?

So I cut it, and then put it in some dirt. Unfortunately it had to be taken out of the dirt about a week later and subsequently got left in a kind of hot car (long story). I put it back in soil right after, but the only changes I've seen are a few withering outer leaves.

This is a really special plant to me, the parent plant was one I got with my late grandfather, so I want to do everything I can to help it. When I cut it initially, I don't think it had the sort-of roots it does now. If those are roots, they look a little dry to me. I felt them and they're not mushy. Also, is that yellow-brown bump a new root forming or something else?

I used to be very attentive and knowledgeable about my plants, but a long depressive episode later, I'm trying to help what I can. So any and all advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

This cactus was headed to the dump at work. Brought it home. There are 3 small pups. The main body is gone. The pups are green. How do I save them - if possible?

Long story short, my rubber plant was not happy and lost a lot of leaves, now it’s much better but very top heavy, tall and leaning.

I think I need to propagate, cut the originally plant quite low to allow a “fresh start”, and try to grow new roots in the top to keep that as a plant.

I’ve heard they’re difficult plants to propagate… has anyone done it before or have any tips?

Should I make multiple cuttings in the top leafy part to give a better chance of success rather than just the one?

Thanks in advance 😊
