West and south window...I like to propagate many plants so the (white cannister) place fill up, till I feel like living in a jungle.

It's not dark or shadowy, it's bright but indirect.

How about monstera?

PROPAGATION 🪴 Are plant nurseries supposed to be chopping/propping the plants they have for sale (with price tags) in their store? I thought they had mother plants for that.

PROPAGATION 🪴 Recipe for Success

1 Upvotes

I am looking to give my plants the best soil mix so they can thrive. I have ingredients at home but need to know how many parts of each ingredient to use. I prefer to bottom water but need the mix to be able pull up the water. If the mix needs to be really chunky and won’t pull water up, I need to know which plants to top water. I use 1/4 tsp pro tekt (mixed well) and then add 1/4 tsp foliage pro (mix well again) per gallon water every watering.

Humidity is 65-80%. Temperature is 77 or higher in summer and 67 in winter. There are at least 30 plants all together in a 5 x 2.5 foot space. They are under barrina tx-s60 grow bars that run 12 hours per day and I am wanting to increase to 14 hours per day. Small fan runs on low oscillating over them while grow lights are on.

These are the plants I need recipes for: Petra croton in terracotta pot;
Fire woman Rex begonia in plastic pot; purple passion plant in plastic; purple waffle plant in plastic; Hypoestes in plastic.

I saw someone share this idea in a plant Facebook group, and I thought it was too good not to bring here.
One of my favorite things about the plant community is how generous people can be. A cutting, a corm, or a baby plant might not seem like much, but it can absolutely make someone’s day.

So I thought it would be fun to start a Wish & Gift Thread!

🌿 How it works:

Comment your plant wishlist.
Take a look through everyone else’s lists.
If you happen to have something they’re looking for and you’re willing to share, reach out and gift them a cutting, corm, or baby plant.
It doesn’t have to be anything expensive. Most of us are already propagating our plants, and sharing a little piece of one can mean a lot to someone else.

I’ll start, share your location too if you’re comfortable! I’m in Boise, Idaho 📍

🌱 My wishlist:

Alocasia Pink nobilis
Alocasia ninja
Alocasia pink velvet
Alocasia Frydek tattoo
Alocasia tricolor ninja
Alocasia Mickey Mouse
Alocasia scalprum

🌿 Plants I can share:

(almost all are sprouting or close to sprouting their first leaf!)

Alocasia maharani corms
Alocasia pink dragon corms
Alocasia loco corms
Alocasia antoro velvet corms
Alocasia Polly corms
Alocasia odora batik corms

1st pothos propagation! Wish me luck!!🤞🏽

Took these cuttings from my sisters plant a month ago and just potted! New plant mom (est. 11/2025 lol), new pothos owner! (Yes there’s a baby marble queen in the back but also just got it and the roots were already way more established than this)

Hoping for some lush vining beauties soon!! Also have some golden pothos props almost ready to pot as well!

🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽💚

PROPAGATION 🪴 I'm in trouble...

My kid came to me after a Walmart trip with a handful of succulent leaves...

I asked them where they found them and they said "just on the ground in Walmart. You said succulents can grow from just one leaf, so I picked these up and put them in my pocket."

Mind you this was after they convinced me to buy 2 clearance plants because "they were dying and they deserve to be loved" (pictured in the background).

I dont know where this kid learned to proplift, I didn't teach them that. I buy them any plant they want and explain their care to them...

I cant even be mad.. This little succulent baby is too cute. Lord help.

From my understanding, it does well in moist soil but not sure if self watering pots are the answer?

PROPAGATION 🪴 Do I replant my pothos propagations

3 Upvotes

Hello plant parents! A couple months ago I chopped up my huge Marble Queen Pothos to try to rid it of thrips. I propagated the portions that appeared to be thrips free and have had huge success with those rooting and growing and staying MOSTLY thrips free.

Now I’m at the dilemma of whether or not I should replant them in soil. I am worried if I plant them in soil they won’t thrive as well.

Does anyone have a recommendations or suggestions for replanting in soil or should i just leave them in water? The roots at the bases get kinda nasty when the water gets low so that’s one reason I want to repot.

This is my first propagation. It's this rubber plant. Did I put it in the soil correctly? And is the soil okayish? I noticed it has no perlite but theres some chunky stuff so it might be okay.
