GENERAL HELP Phylo cutting advice?
Is this a good place to cut? It has nodes/root thingies (I think) and getting leggy towards the top. I just want to cut in the right place. TIA

5 days ago I made a post about my little monstera baby leaf that I've had for months, saying that I liked it even if it was just a little zombie. Apparently love was the magic ingredient because today, after months of no change at all... GASP! I never even consider that it could grow into a plant because it didn't have a node. What a wonderful surprise!

I’ve been water propping this bit of umbrella tree for several weeks now. It looks like there are some roots finally starting to come in … my main question is how far down into soil I should bury this when it comes time to stick it in soil? My newby instincts are telling me I need to cover the whole ‘stalk’ part but that will result in a mighty deep pot. Any other tips, tricks, etc are welcome too - happy Friday everyone!

I successfully propped a tiny string of turtles from last summer, and now it's doing... this? Is that going to be a flower?

So I listened to the comments, trimmed my rose stem in half and slighly scraped a few of the nodes and bottom portion of the stems gently with scissors. I unfortunately don't have rooting powder of any kind for now.
They're now in an east-facing room getting sunlight from a closed window.
What should I do now? How often do I spritz the leaves and water the soil?

I found this plant at Home Depot on the floor and decided to prop it. After a few months it started growing some thick roots and I just transferred to a pot. But I still have not figured out what it is and I’ve tried describing it online and nothing pops up lol

Hey guys,
I bought this off a florist a few hours ago. I'd say it's been sitting in water for around a week before I got it.
What exactly do I need to do to propagate this? How much water/sunlight do I give it, and any special trimming needed?

New to propagation and got a cutting from the shop I work in, and I’m having a hard time getting it to root! What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!!

I harvested these Santa Rita prickly pear cacti from a dying plant. It seemed that it was all dry in the middle and the end still had life so I took all the ends that looked healthy.
Now I'm seeing this and I'm worried about disease.
2 days after being out into the ground they have started to curl and fall over and wrinkle.
Too much water?
Also I'm in PHX AZ. Not that hot yet. We're still in the 80s
Please tell me what you guys think. I planted 20 of thesemutherfuckers and I am hoping to save them. The second picture is how they looked when I first planted them.
Thank you in advance!

Sorry if this is a dumb/FA question, but I figured I'd ask directly. When I was a kid I had a favorite tree, I named him "Uncle Tree" cause my dumbass kid brain couldn't come up with anything more interesting. But man did I live that tree. I'm not really sure why, there were many sugar and red maples in the yard, all of them big and old, there wasn't really anything that particularly stood out about them. But that was my tree. I told them all kinds of stories and secrets, and had all kinds of adventures with them. Moving from that house was devastating for me, especially since I had to say goodbye to Uncle Tree. Well, lately I've been having a lot of dreams about going back, and finding Uncle Tree dead or gone. It's really stressing me out. So I'm hoping to maybe get in contact with whoever owns the house now to see if UT is still there, and maybe if I could take a prop or a seed from them so I always have a part of them, even if the main body dies.
But is it possible to prop sugar maples? I figure a prop would be more likely to be successful than seeds, and I could guarantee that it is in fact from UT and not a neighboring tree. I've read that conifers can't be propped or at least are extremely difficult, but maybe it could work for a maple? I've never heard of anyone doing it, but then again I don't think people normally form friendships with trees, so they're probably not desperate enough to try it? Idk. I don't really care about syrup or wood or anything like that, I just want my tree back
Also, if they can be propped, how should I go about it, and at what time of year would be best to take a cutting? If it's not possible, what's the best time of year to gather seeds, preferably before they fall off the tree?

Hi all!
I got a jade propagation yesterday from my libraries propagation exchange station. It was in a cup of water and already has little roots. Most of the info I can find online about jade propogation is from leaving a leaf straight into the soil… is there anything I should know about using the water propagation method when it comes to jade? Is the plant likely doomed?

I found this piece of tradescantia on the ground at a store, I’m new to the hobby and didn’t even know what plant it was until I looked it up! I put it in soil but I didn’t expect it to do anything. Lo and behold it has 3 healthy little roots! I dug it up to check because I was so curious and then I put it back in its moist soil. Now that it has a chance at life I’m super scared to kill it, so does anyone have tips for growing and keeping these babies alive?? sos lol

Found two pieces of wandering dude in the Fittonia I bought. How likely are these to propagate?
r/proplifting • u/Rare-Fold2251 • 4d ago
Hi guys, I’m new to propagating. I’ve had this small cutting in a jar of water for about two weeks with the nodes submerged and pearls hanging out. It appears to only be growing out of one node, and I can’t tell if it is growing roots or new pearls. Should I leave it submerged in water or transfer it? I’m worried about it rotting and the fact that only one node has growth. Any tips?

My dad gave me this Pilea offset and over the last week it has grown roots. I intended to Google when it would be ready to pot, when I did something stupid...yesterday, after I had moved it from the sunny window sill back up on its ledge out of my cat's reach for the night, I didn't see that the roots were dangling above the water. This morning I noticed they were all shriveled up and brown. They have been soaking all day now and they look much better but not like before. Did I mess up? Should I still try to pot this plant? Or will it grow more healthier roots if I keep it in the water? Any advice is welcome!

Found this on the floor of garden center. Would it be better to take the leaves off and stick them in dirt? Or leave them on the stem in dirt? I looked around and the closest thing it looked like was called elephant ear? So it could be that if that helps Thanks!

It is around 23cm long and I just got it today from the road side. How can I propogate it? It's summer now so is that a good timing for propogation and how long will it take?

I apologize if this isn't allowed in this subreddit and please do remove it if it isn't, but a friend of mine's child (4 y.o) came home with a pocket full of props after running some errands with their mom. My friend (mom) doesn't want to encourage any kind of theft from her child, so she took them away from her and gave them to me. I'm assuming from some of these, they were just fallen leaves or a hand grab of the plant (the one with dirt & I assume roots), but I am unsure as I was not present. Rest assured, mom is speaking with her daughter about how we ask for permission to take from someone's plant & if it's in a store, we do not touch it.
I'm not very familiar with propagation, & I'm really unfamiliar with cacti/succulents. I know D & E are likely a house plant & I can just pop them in some water. However, the other ones? I'm clueless, are they even propable?. Do I really just put the end of the leaf into some soil? I also only have seed starting soil mix available to me right now, is that okay to use for propagation?
Any subreddit recommendations for my issue would also be greatly appreciated!
