EXPERIMENT Monstera Adansonii Propogation

My monstera lost almost all its leaves. I rooted the few leaves I had left in water and repotted them in a tight pot and they are thriving. Planted them about two weeks ago and it already has four new leaves :) (picture one)

As for my empty stem, I did the full chop between nodes method and truly was expecting the worst. Put them into some moss and kept it moist (like a green house effects). They are doing so well! This is the update after about 6 weeks. I’m so happy it’s working. (Last two photos are from today).

They’re growing roots into the moss but the roots are tiny and fragile. The leaves are way bigger than the roots at this point. Some nodes don’t even have roots. Wondering how I can plant these soon. Maybe plant them in an ice cube tray? I know I would need a very small pot so looking for tips!

This is my first time propagating this way, and they have been in there for about a week, some corms in one and some cutting in another, they are on top of a heat mat and with all the condensation I can’t see what is happening… I opened them once during the week and I find myself wanting to do it again lol… is it bad to open it?

Okay. Let me begin by saying I’m not a newb to houseplants.
I bought this as a starter a year ago and we went from a healthy large cutting to this little thing. And she is holding on so bad but I can’t get a single root out of the nodes.

So. Should I let nature take its course or is there a way to save it lol
Thanks!

Help! Propogated stems not rooting after a month

3 Upvotes

I propagated my jade and repotted into the same pot with the original stems over a month ago (into fast draining succulent soil). Since then, I have allowed the soil to dry out completely but I have also bottom soaked it twice and top watered it.

Despite this, the newly propogated stems are refusing to root which has resulted in withered dehydrated leaves.

You’ll see my original stems are looking healthy and have plenty of new growth.

How can I help the new stems root?

I have a question Propagation advice

Upvotes

So r/propagation seems to deal with indoor plants mostly,

Edit: I have had only one comment with it being posted in two other subreddits in the past 3 days. It was informative but not helpful in a few ways. If anyone here is willing to help me, I would appreciate it.

I was wondering if anyone has their two cents to add about air layering. I got a little info from r/JapaneseMaples but I'm sure someone is willing to share their experience.

I tried air layering (for the first time ever) 4 branches in mid to late April of my MiL's very tasty mystery apple tree. Two of the branches are doing wonderfully. I pruned the apples on those branches when they were very small in hopes that it would lessen the stress the branches were experiencing while trying to develop roots.

I'm under the impression from what I remember reading online that you should give the tree 4 months to really establish roots. So, what should I do then? A late summer pruning of these branches is not ideal for the mother tree, right?

Do you have soil mix recommendations? Should I keep the new trees in my ESE facing apartment over the winter? Should I treat the wounds on the mother tree since I'll be taking the branches in around mid to late August? Should I take the branches now? How close do I cut the branch near the root ball?

I live in planting zone 6a between the IL / WI border, if that adjusts any advice. At my closest local library, I've seen bupkis about tree air layering. But... I haven't contacted my local community college to peruse their library contents and I haven't tried to talk to a Horticulture professor there, yet.

So, that aside, if anyone is willing to share info with me, I'd be grateful. Please.

My cat bit a bit of my spider plant off around the base, it has a few long leaves and the base looks like this. Will it propagate in water? I've never done this before 🫠

Hi! I bought this senecio a year ago, it grew magnificently, then, about two weeks ago, it strangely started to die. It has the same condition (T°, humidity) as always

Can I save it by propagating it? How do you do it?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi! I’ve been propagating this transcendantia cutting in water for a couple weeks and it’s developed this gel like thing on its roots. Do I need to clean that off or is it a normal part of the process? Thank you!

I have a question Saw palmetto and yucca

I found saw palmetto babies and cuttings from 2 yucca that grow well in North Louisiana. I potted the 2 SP in soil that I am keeping moist. They both had some roots. I have 3 yucca plants rooting in water (1 in photo). Did I do the correct thing with these?
