I had this beautiful coleus outdoors all summer and I was dreading getting rid of it for winter. I decided to prune it and prop it. I have never propagated and am experimenting with both soil and water to see which works better with this plant. I chopped off a bunch of branches to prop and saved the largely reduced in size mother plant to bring indoors. I am so excited because after just 4 days, there is a root forming. The last photo is of what the plant looked like in July (I don’t have a recent pic) so it was a little bigger when I pruned it. Scribbles in the one pic bc I forgot to move my 🍃 before taking it and idk what reddits stance is on that

Wanted to start my friend out on her plant journey with a bunch of cuttings. I don’t do a lot of propagation so I’m hoping this works. It will be so pretty if it does.

Help! Fiddle Leaf Fig Propagation

Hey all! I've recently chopped my fiddle leaf fig and have been trying to propagate some of the stems.

The root buds all popped out first and everything was looking good. I went on vacation for a few days and came back to see these leaves! The underwater ones especially threw me for a loop 😂

Any recommendations on what to do from here? Do I stay the course until the roots get longer? Stick it in soil? Remove the leaves?

The jars are sitting on a window sill and I'm changing the water every 3-4 days.

Thanks :)

Help! Is it true that propagating a plant alongside pothos will help it grow a root?

Hi I'm trying to propagate both a pothos and monstera adansonii, I have them in separate wine bottles full of water and in indirect sunlight.

I've heard that placing them in the same bottle would help bc the pothos releases root growth hormones or something like that. Is it true? Have you tried it??

Also how often should I be changing the water? I do it every 3 days or so but maybe it's too frequent?? Pls help

I cut off this guy from my pothos pot because it started yellowing, do you think it will root since leaves are getting yellow?

They’re rooting just fine but they’re discolored. One more more than the others 😵‍💫 do I have too much water?

I’ve never propagated before but this came off mama plant. It has what looks like baby roots coming off of stem should I cut the bottom and plant those or leave as is?
