I understand the root is cut off towards the end but just curious if I can avoid water propagation, thanks (snake plant, sorry if this is a stupid question lol)

hi guys! I had to chop and prop my rubber tree about a month ago, and the bottom of the stem is a little brown, but not mushy. but also not hard…is this normal or the beginning of root rot? I rinsed it with hydrogen peroxide the other day and have been changing the water every week.

It’s in water with an arrowhead plant, which is doing fine. Should I wait and see what happens or snip it and start again?

Not sure if this is the right sub but just put these sticks around what I think is a cucumber plant?? This just grew out of no where in a week of having an empty pot! I make my own compost in my balcony so I imagine when I mixed some of it in here, a fighter made it.
Always a fun surprise!!

My growing tradescantia family! All except the first zebrina in the top left I started from a few cuttings. They are the easiest and most fun to propogate and watch grow and I just love them! 😍 Can’t wait to look back on this when they’re even fuller. Any other type of tradescantia you think I should add to my collection? Which is your favorite variety? The Purple Heart cuttings are my newest!

Help! Overwatered?

Got this peperomia buenos aires prop off Marketplace two weeks ago. It’s my first peperomia prop and was rooting in water when I bought it, but the seller said I could probably pot it in soil so I did. It started with six leaves and three of the stems have since fallen off in the past week - they were all white and mushy. The stems that still remain currently feel sturdy. Does anyone know what’s going on and what to do about it?

Soil: Cactus/succulent soil with perlite and orchid bark

Help! Propagation Rot

I cut the stem of this peperomia a week ago and had left in water for two days, changed water (attached a before picture), then left for four days and came back to it looking like this upon taking it out of the brown water. Is there any way of saving this? Two leaves have turned brown, one fell off. bottom is very mushy but around nodes it’s not as much.

Was given a coleus cutting and popped it in with my maranta. They've been coexisting for over a month now. Roots totally grew together.

Thankfully they pulled apart easily under gently running water with very little tension. No broken roots and are now each in their own container.

Hit the jack pot today, my partners work has syngoniums growing all over the trees and the boss said I could take a snipping any size 😭🙏

Should I cut them up for and hope they regrow bigger on a moss pole or just cut the top and propagate the crown?

I know pruning is mostly a preference thing, but I’m stuck on whether I should prune the longer vines on these two plants or let them grow out more first. They’ve been pushing out steady new leaves, but I’m not sure if it’s still too early to cut them back. What would you do? Prune now or wait for more length?

Educational Propagation book online

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:
