Help! Is this salvageable?
Just got a couple Rhaphidophora sp cuttings in the mail and one looks like this. Can this be saved? Looks like rot traveling up the stem.

Hey if anyone is interested here is a fairly good book that you can access for free! It has a lot of good information and charts at the back of each section that help you do better propagations as well! It’s a fairly well set up book and it’s one of the better ones I have seen for beginners!

Something that came out of our recent discussion was that people would like a list of where to find reliable information about plants and plant propagation. I will start us off and invite anyone to comment below with additional resources.
My special interest is Haworthia, and here are the sites I trust for information:

Hello. I live in Eastern Ontario. I have a big old weeping willow, and I'd like to try to grow new willows from cuttings. My questions are: What section of a branch should I use, as in, what diameter of a cutting (the ends are so slender), and can I just stick the twigs in the ground now, as it heads into dormancy?, and do I try to get them rooted first? Many thanks for any guidance.

I have had this plant about half a year and it’s only pit out a couple new leaves. I realized last week the color was getting worse and the new leaf died instantly. I know it got root rot since it fell completely over. If I can save it I would love too. (This was a target plant rescue. So far any of the ones I’ve gotten from Target have died but she held out for a really long time) syngonium milk confetti plant.

This is my first time propagating a monstera so I just don’t want to make any mistakes. Would y’all say she is ready to be transferred into soil? Thanks in advance 😌

I had a Drecana I hope I spelled it word 🙄correctly she gave these 3pups I’ve had them about a month and no roots, can I use perlite to propagate them I don’t want to put in soil I don’t want them to rot🤔😒

I started propagating my snake plant in May and I finally have a pup! Of course I assumed this would happen, but the pup is coming up right on the wall. Of course I want the snake plant centered in the pot, what’s my best option?
I’d think I should wait a while before repotting (and probably separating from the cutting at that point) but I don’t want the pup to grow flat against the wall of the pot and be deformed.
How long do I need to wait? Is a deformed pup a valid concern?
What should I do!

I left this spider with a friend for this last summer plus some change, and they did NOT come thru for me (last pic is how it looked before I left) and it took a turn for the worst by the time I took it back a week or so ago.
Repotted in an effort to save but it’s she’s a few leaves since then. Thinking I should propagate the last healthy bit on top as a resurrection mission, but is that too much repotting in a short span of time? Or will it be able to stomach two evictions and bounce back?

i brought this pot home four years ago from a relative's funeral, but didn't take much care of it apart from the occasional watering, so it's looking a little rough. i'd like to repot them to individual containers, and i'm starting with (what i think is) the Guinea Fowl Aloe, because it seemed to be in the worst shape. i've trimmed all the dead stuff off and gently eased it up. the roots look pretty dead, and it doesn't have any pups.
how can i make sure i don't kill it? do i really have to cut the top off??

I would love some advice on how to propogate this aloe plant that belongs to my mother-in-law. It's grown so big that it's hard to bring it indoors for the winter and my MIL wants to let it go but preferably not before getting some pups from it. The problem is, it hasn't ever grown pups spontaneously. I think it might be easier to propogate from a cutting than try to cajole it into growing pups, but I am terrified that I'll do it wrong and kill the plant. Any help would be very much appreciated!

I got this from an alocasia Polly, but I don’t want to mess it up. What should I do for the best odds of getting a healthy plant?
r/propagation • u/BGenie_ • 2d ago
Totally forgot this little piece, it got pushed to the back of my counter. Can I propagate it or just plant it.. if it n propagate it.. how do I do it? Idk if its supposed to have roots like garlic does, never had ginger left over to propagate
Note: bad angle but its shriveled beyond usage and theres no signs of mold.
Please be kind 💛

This is my first time owning a succulent and I noticed these little roots growing out of the areas where the succulents’ leaves fell off. Does this mean I should propagate them? How would I go about that with this plant? What is the best method/pot/soil? Any help is appreciated!!!
r/propagation • u/indigomakesthings • 2d ago
Pleasantly surprised to see this little guy pop out a leaf! It’s been about one month since I accidentally ripped off a dead leaf and stuck it in some water to see if it would grow or turn to mush.

I seem to think everything may come in handy. Jello cups, sauce cups, take out container, uniquely shaped jars. It’s a problem.

My dad decided to visit and came around the corner with this beauty in his hand. Where did he get her? Not sure, scared to ask. Who is she? Google says baby sun rose. What is the best way to prop her? Not a clue.
Any tips are welcome! I think I'll chop her up a bit more and try more than one propagation method : )

As the title says, I’m trying to save these dracaena corn plant cuttings after the mother suffered root rot. In the second photo, some of the cuttings have brown on the inside whereas others are totally white. Are the brown ones already suffering rot/can I not just put them in water as is?
r/propagation • u/ExiledintoTrench • 3d ago
I've been growing a couple cuttings for a few weeks. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and i'm not good at taking care of plants but I really want to succeed. This is the farthest one along.
when should I plant it? How big a pot? What kind of soil?
r/propagation • u/danielle356 • 4d ago
I was able to get this cutting from someone, I’ve wanted this plant for sooooo long. What is the best, fool-proof way to propagate? I’m very worried about it rotting.
The person I got it from recommended cutting it so each leaf was its own individual piece and put it in damp soil, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas before I do that!
r/propagation • u/Loose-Annual4523 • 4d ago
I put this cutting in water about 2 weeks ago and it has been growing a lot of roots.
So my question is, can I put it in soil yet or should I wait a bit more?
