3 Ways to Propagate ZZ Plant (High Success Rate)
When I got my Squami the petilotes were bright red which I loved, but after 6 months they are turning green! I want them red, what should I do? I tried putting her in the morning sun for a few hours but still no improvement.
I’m a new plant growing in my home. I’ve had gardens etc. The Squamiferum philodendron and snow drift philodendron are one of my fav new plants I got on sale at grocery store . As soon as I got them I was so obsess with them. I have mine sun the sun room and alllow the soil get dry two inches where it looks like it need water. And they been thriving thankfully also I have a humidifier next to them two. So maybe I have a green thumb but she has a new leaf growing after 3 weeks in the middle . She loving the sun room and environment. Thank you for the advice I need to be alert as now I know they prone to root rot. I love the plant it’s probably my fav one so far.
My Whale Tail, is growing another whale Tail!😄🪴
thank you for this! im propagating weeping willows and elm trees in the same water because i heard willows release a chemical that helps other plants root. will separate them immediately!!!
Yes, I've heard the same thing but if you want to experiment safely, you could try having a separate jar and experiment with one single cutting combined with willows and give it a go.
Great video! This is exactly the information I was searching for. Thank you!
Thank you!
I liked your presentation, entertaining and enlightening!
Thank you!
I have a few different snake plants, all in leca with bottom reservoirs and they are growing new pups often, healthy and happy. I agree soil is great but I do love the semi-hydroponics for many of my 32 plants (Just gave 10 to friends out of 42). My Larentii is doing well in soil so left it there. My Whalefin has in two years or less had three pups and 2 grand pups and 1 great grand pup, all in leca!
I have one I have grown from 1 leaf cutting. My goodness this plant grows so slowly!!! It does its best in the Summer heat. I had it in a self-watering pot and it loved it. I moved it in bigger pots and the roots were out of this world. I want it to trail more so I used hair pins to pin it down to the soil and will see what happens. This is one plant I don't want to prop.
So true, it's growing slowly but I'm happy to hear you did it eventually 💚 if you want to make your plant fuller in the future, you could try propagating it in sphagnum moss wich works wonders during summer
@@plantsbutbetter I think I will just order one from Etsy. The vendor that I purchase from sells huge rootbound plants. I had to learn to stop being so cheap. Some plants you should purchase big and if you want to prop, then use a leaf with a node. I have come a long way. That plant stayed at one leaf for almost two years.
One of mine is getting really skinny and turning dark …hmm what do I do?
Remove it and check the roots but it might be too late 😥
So i wont be buying one 😂
Thank you for sharing your opinion...some of my plant's are not looking too healthy Most of others are ok but I think I will mix it with tap water.
I found 2 mushrooms 🍄 growing in my table rose
Now I found out there was root rot and cut off the all root , now can I put it in water, after it growth some root can I repot it?
Yes, you can safely put it in water and wait for new roots to grow
@@plantsbutbetter thank you for reply . I did put in water yesterday but still the leaves is curly , looks like it take time or maybe I an doing something wrong 😑
This video was very helpful. I'm also glad u mentioned that the baby plant won't look the same.
Thankl you! Glad it was helpful! 💚
VA salut, nu am gasit informatia necesara si de aceea va scriu voua, la aceasta planta tulpinile mai batrane, groase sau incretit pe vertical si nu stiu care este situatia, e normal sau are ceva planta... voi ce stiti? Multumesc, numai bine !
Hello! Planta poate fi deshidratata. Daca o uzi foarte rar, incerca s-o uzi mai des si ai grija sa ajunga apa la toate radacinile.
Hello, i saved an old plant from direct full sun,horrible conditions , it was white ... and after 2 years i have 5 babys from it :)
I run all the water I get from my dehumidifier through a jug water filter (that’s purely only for dehumidifier water!) & use it for all my plants. They are thriving and very happy. I will add, I occasionally use a Hepa filter in the machine.. not all the time. But I do have two carbon filters that clean the air before it runs through the machine. The carbon filters are regularly cleaned to remove the build up of dust. I’ve just read that dehumidifier water is also ideal for use in a steamer.. good to know
We have like 25-30 small white mushrooms. Likes like small white Hohenbuehelia petaloides. Hope we are able to save our umbrella tree
Super knowledgeable, very informative
I just found a mushroom growing in my tropical house plant. I kinda like it but am seeing more growing. I will check for the roots rotting. Thank you.

Hello, my monstera has only one stem. if i cut one node from the top of the stem and leave the bottom. Will the bottom part still grow? And produce new leaves?
If the bottom part has a node, it will produce new growth eventually
I've heard that the water has aluminum dissolved in it.
I wouldn't be surprised
Do u think it would be okay in a self water pot?
I haven't tried this myself, but I've heard other plant lovers doing it just fine
Do you have an update video?
Thank you for the detailed video ! I recently got a tiny plant like the one you've shown in the video. When I move the pot, the plant seems wobbly (top-heavy). Also, I see that there is 1 root coming out of the drainage hole. And I see a tiny root (hairlike above the soil as well, at the base of the plant) Does it mean I need to repot it? Thank you again !
Happy the video was helpful! For your plant, try to gently remove it from the pot to see the roots. If it's rootbound, you can definitely change the pot 😁
@@plantsbutbetter Thank you so much for your response. That helps ! Wish you the best with your UA-cam journey 🙂👍
How often do you have to water the moss?
Every time it dries out 🙌

This video is very helpful. I have a Whalefin pup that is about five inches tall and still emerging from the ground. It is still curled with red tips. I would normally want to leave it alone. However, the pup is about to crash into the mother plant which is leaning a bit to one side. Would you leave them alone and let them collide and then separate them when the pup is grown or separate them now in May during the growing season. Thank you for your advice!
Glad it was helpful! If the pup has roots big enough to support itself, I would remove it from the mother plant for sure. Keep me posted pls! 💚
@@plantsbutbetter I will try to separate them tomorrow. I wish I could send you a photo.
Sorry for the late reply! You can send me a pic on Instagram @plantsbutbetter
great advice!
Glad it was helpful!

personally I dont like the half moons am i alone?
Yes 😂
Tap water in high population cities in the US have too many chemicals for plants… not recommended but emergency is ok but filter the water to at least get the chlorine out. Chlorine also evaporates after 5 days
lol the percent of humidity went up a percent due to you breathing on it a few inches away
I’ve got this plant and it’s growing well. I’ve been looking to see how the pups grow but haven’t found much information other than images when it is grown with the arm and next plant on it. I hope to see an update on your plant when it grows up and propagate🪴🌵🤗👍🏾 Thanks again for information.
Great video and good suggestions. Make more content, you’re clearly a natural.
Thank you! Will do!
Great video on these unique plants I learned a lot thank you for sharing.
Happy to hear 😁
I have an idea. You can connect water of dihumidifier to a cleaning water filter which is cheap then u can always use water of that and make it clean and safe
That could work!
I recieved a baby pink princess for free with an order from an eshop. I think they gave it away for free because it originally had just green leaves with some speckles. I however did not care, I was a complete plant noob and even to this day I do not really care that much about variegation. However, I do have a south-east facing window and somehow all of my plant buddies seem to be doing fine in my care, including the princess! Gave me really nice leaves and the stems have pink stripes now. I have not seen the mother plant, but sometimes miracles happen I guess :D
Totally ✨ and from what you're saying I bet your plants really love being under your care
I love the BTS references, they are my faves. Your videos are so helpful. 💜🪴
sooo happy you mentioned BTS 💚 I've been waiting for someone to notice hahah
Hi my whale fin has a pup but the pup is turning yellow what i should do and why did it turn yellow i dont over water it sits west facing window
send me a dm on instagram with a picture at @plantsbutbetter so I could help you better 😊
Very detailed & informational for beginners 👏🏾 thank you !
Happy to hear! 🤗
Why do you leave half of the stem in the water for the 1st cutting? Isn't it enough that the root is in water? Im asking because i bought a cutting, and that's what the seller recommended, only put the root in the water. My cutting has 3 aerial roots, and one of them is rather long, so it was possible to put in a vase this way, the stem is not submerged at all. Is it better or worse, does the stem need water?
It's recommended to keep only the roots in water since some cuttings are sensitive and could rot easily. I kept mine with half of the stem only because my plant was very healthy and acclimated to my conditions and I knew it has very little chance to rot, but if your cutting is fresh and has transit stress/damage, the seller's advice is good advice.
Not as expensive now like you said ❤. I got my bigger one (3 times that size) for $99
That's a catch 💚 hope it grows beautiful and strong under your care
About 2 or 3 years ago I bought an expensive plant but I didn't know anything about the genetics and it never gave me a pink leaf, just spots. It grew like grass but all green. Now I bought a cheaper one, bigger and with a lot of pink and I am happy.
You have a catch right there 💚
Wow love this in-depth video!
Happy to hear!
Fantastic clear concise videos thanks for this!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Thank you 🌱 just getting a cutting. Great info ❤
Great luck with your cutting 💚
