My sister started rooting plants with her students. When we cut back our plants her students get the cuttings and grow full plants! We usually start them with pothos, succulents, spider plants and heart leaf philodendron. Then during the second half of the year we get them some more “rare or collector” cuttings like scindapsus, monstera, rhaphidaphora tetrasperma, adansonii, philo micans. She and I recycle our nursery pots and slip pots to the kids. They love it! In an area where kids do not get exposed to plants, or growing or really even nurtured themselves, it’s a great thing for them because it teaches them so much.
My grandmother use to say if you take/sneak a cutting of the plants from family and friends they will thrive and if you ask for it the cuttings never do well and end up dying 🙊🤷♀️🤦♀️
this is so funny bc my sis-in-law and her friend who are much older told me this very thing. It is like a hidden plant rule, they said you always steal plants etc., cutting wtc., they will thrive, but if you ask it wont. WoW ….i love when old folktale tellings gets around 😅
I once had a neighbor that would put a box of their propegations on the curb in front of their house with a free sign. they even labeled most of the plants. most of them were outdoor plants, but I did get a beautiful November cactus
Out of all the different online communities, plant people are the most kind and helpful. I have plants older than my oldest child (26). My kids now have their own houseplants that they care for. It's a "family tradition". 😘
I know this is an older post but I want to chime in on your comment. I have found that plant people "use to be" very generous and willing to share knowledge and plants....as I still dom Howecer, the newer plant people seem to thinknit is a "get rich quick" scheme. In my area they are selling individual pothos, etc nodes for $5 and up and not even rooted. To me this is a scam and gives the plant community a bad name.
I am in Florida and I don't own any "knock out" plants .... about 70% of my plants are rescued from my neighborhood or a few from my tenants that abandoned their plants when they move. The most I have paid for a plant was $20 for my moonlight truebii
I actually got my golden pothos (now reverted) from a friend and a tradescantia from a plant shop owner. It's a great feeling when you get a free plant!
That’s so funny about aloe smelling like BO. I remember very young, I was in Jamaica as a white girl from NY so you can imagine the sunburn😂. The lovley local mama used the aloe plant from the house and I can so distinctly remember instantly the BO smell! Followed by pain relief
Wandering jew and sedums also are so easy to propagate and share. I got cuttings from my sister 2yrs ago. Now she lost hers and she got cuttings from my plants this year.
Someone in my neighborhood has a plant swap stand in their front yard. It's been pretty lean recently, but now that we are well into growing season, it is filling up. I got several cuttings today and a full grown Chinese Evergreen that someone donated because they didn't have a good place for it where it was happy. I think it will do well on my back porch. I left a couple of ficus elastica cuttings.
Plant swaps are the best, and my local plant shop has a section where you can take a cutting, and leave a cutting. The shop also provides a repotting service too which is nice. Free plants are the best, but still not as fun as meeting new plant friends :P
specifically aloe vera is the one that is good for medicine but there's more than one type so just make sure you guys are researching what type of plant yours is very thoroughly before you start rubbing it on your sunburn lol
I love using cbd. I use it for so many different things too. Helped my little boy at the end of his days when he was struggling with cancer. Now I give it to my girls a few times a week. Love that stuff for me and my pets. Great plants 🪴
I have one a friend gave me as a handful of spiderettes about 4 years ago. Oddly it isn't putting out any babies of it's own yet. My understanding is these need to be rootbound first. So maybe I used too big a pot and it is still growing into it. Maybe this year.
Actually you can ingest it. It can be use as a detox and they are used in drinks as well. Aloe is great for the body inside and out, from head to toe! Literally!❤️
??? I've always run into the thing with snake plant water props, that the fancy ones, come back with just the standard species. For the fancy ones though, there's always lots of true pups. I also kept getting these odd grass-like baby plants in some f my pots on the floor. Turned out they were baby spider plants coming up from seeds. Those will come back as the green ones. Another whole category of plants you should never have to buy is tradescantias, they grow like weeds. Then there's the plants that you can grow from leaves, like all the kalanchoes and even the begonias. /with begonias you just need a pot in a plastic bag and you can turn one leaf into several babies.
Done the Facebook local group thing, just after moving into bigger place, posted what I’d like and the few plants that I had that were mature enough to take cutting/divide up and the response was great, got quite a few plants that I really wanted 😃
Yay great video! I totally agree with all the plants you listed, with the exception of maybe snake plants. A lot of people have them, but in my area at least they seem to be much more of a commodity. Maybe because they are super slow growing and there are a lot more types, as opposed to aloe which also grow slow but they all kinda look the same lol
@@BeccaDeLaPlants true heehee. Or one that has major leaf damage and/or been seriously neglected from sitting in a windowless room with no water for a year and somehow is still kicking. I really admire snake plants, they really try so hard and imo their contributions to society are underappreciated 😤💪
Honestly if people were being shady to get free plant cuttings I just wouldn’t care 😂 I care more about my inner peace than divining whether someone is trying to scam me for tiny pieces of plants 😂
I think the curly spider plants are cute as hell but I like weird plants haha. The straight ones just don’t do it for me, I think my mom has one and they just kind of bore me.
Hey Becca!! Awesome video.... question to use the aloe medicinally do you just cut a piece off of a leaf? Or the whole leaf has to go?? Thank you for all your videos they are so helpful on my new journey!!
I have like 10 golden pothos. And I've only actually bought 2 of them. The rest have been propagated by me. I have a 10" hanging basket i got for $13 and I've. already taken cuttings from it twice. My oldest golden pothos we're cuttings i stole from my neighbors 😂. I think it's ridiculous how a 6" golden pothos can cost you over $10. A 6" pot should cost you no more than $8
I am in a local plant swap group. No sales allowed. Mostly people post want the have available for swap or if they are looking for something in particular. Sometimes people have plants available for free.
I definitely enjoyed this video though there wasn't any new information for me I thought that it would have been helpful for new plant people to see how you propagated from the cuttings or babies... I know you talked about it a little bit but really didn't go into it enough I think for people to even know what to do
I’m in Indianapolis. Where was that place you mentioned? I am trying to broaden my horizon’s and get into more different type of plants. Please Let me know and your plants are huge, love those huge plants behind you.
Hi Becca i wished i can get a cutting of my wish lists plants im new to it i tried to send messages to people that i gonna buy cuttings from them and they just ignore me so i was hurt and frustrated so i gave up
It’s understandable that they wouldn’t respond especially if you’re a stranger to them. I always say it’s best to make relationships with people first, and then have those conversations. Otherwise it feels invasive
@@BeccaDeLaPlants hi again im not stranger to some of them coz i subscribed their vlog and i will comments sometimes or communicate with them but after a while they just ignore u or u get lost but thats ok life is too short for asking a favor of something u want it or to have it i believe of what u told me i always give people i know or stranger some of my plants i collected that i have enough coz plants dont last long they live or they die in ur care so why not give to people to enjoy and love it thats me i guess love u vlog all the time
I don't get how your pilea plant is so big?! I must be doing something wrong with mine because it never gets that big at all or puts out any babies......
I have yet to successfully get a pup to survive after cutting it off the mother. I'm sure there's a "wanted" poster for me somewhere. I've lost so many. 😕
I had a plant that was less than a few months old, barely in the ground a few months and a friend asked me for a cutting, there wasn’t enough of a plant to start cutting it, I mean it’s like asking a baby to donate blood! Wait for it to grow up a bit pls 😂
I have enough pups/cuttings off my aloe/snake plants/pothos that I'll freely give them to people who offer me a container. At this point the pots are worth more than the plants in them.
I want to live in a family that passes down plants from generation to generation instead of trauma
This 😮💨 !!

My sons barber is a plant guy. We exchange plants every time my son gets a hair cut.
I love sharing my plants with people - my favorite is sharing cuttings from some of my less common plants.

I never knew spider plants folded up when they're thirsty, that's good to know! Hopefully my 2 plants will be happier now lol 🌿
Seems appropriate since spiders fold up when they die.
They will also start too look translucent or pale in color.
There’s a take a cutting/leave a cutting at a plant store in Chicago as well! I also thought it was a good idea to add variety to your collection :)
Catalina Plant Co.? Love that place!

I would love to find a cutting or pup of that particular pilea. I'll see if there are any swaps around here. Thanks for the great ideas. ☺️

You actually CAN eat aloe! You can eat the inside jelly, just not the skin :)
Her: don't eat the aloe vera
Me looking at my aloe: guess I shouldn't lick it then
The flesh is edible, the skin IS NOT. I have aloe juice in my fridge. Lick away!
🤣

Snake plants can be started in promoting soil too. Cut in pieces & trendy place in water fir a few weeks.
Can you root motherinlaw plant if it has ro 23:00 23:00 23:00
Consuming Aloe it’s actually very beneficial!
I've always wondered how a snake plant looks like after being cut to propagate. I'm kinda scared to make my plant look jagged. 😅
Hands up to the Columbia Missouri club!!!! Yeeeeee yeeeeee
Aloe smelling like bo is the perfect description
My first plants was dumpcane and Chinese ever green and palm all were free and that’s how my journey started
I have so much extra plants, some very exotic ones. I really want to go to a an plant exchange group, but I don’t live near a plant community.
I think the curly spider plants are cute as hell but I like weird plants haha. The straight ones just don’t do it for me, I think my mom has one and they just kind of bore me.

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Loved loved loved your video thank you for all your videos.. your my #1 you tube plant lady. 💯💕💕🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃⚘️⚘️
There's a Hawaiian spider plant too. Looks pretty.. 😍
Lol I was about to say I’m from Florida and I loveeeee pathos so if someone had a pot his I would be excited 😆
Hey Becca!! Awesome video.... question to use the aloe medicinally do you just cut a piece off of a leaf? Or the whole leaf has to go?? Thank you for all your videos they are so helpful on my new journey!!
Yes just cut a pice off and the stem will scab over and be fine.
@@luislandofficial ok thank you so much
I would say to go see Grandma and her friends.
Great tip!!
Yup I totally regret not being able to take my nanas plants they were gone before I could get any and she had some amazing orchids that were huge😫😫
I have like 10 golden pothos. And I've only actually bought 2 of them. The rest have been propagated by me. I have a 10" hanging basket i got for $13 and I've.

My cats LOVE spider plants for some reason, love as in love to drag out of their pots and eat(?). 😅 Not sure why they’re specifically targeted.
I didn’t know the roots of snake plants are typically red. Thank you!
Nice collection ❤👌👏
how do I get my spider plant to pop some babies 🥺
Maybe more light. Bright indirect light seems to make my plants go crazy
@@luislandofficial thank you
i cannot grow the pilea, oml they die every time i bring one home, i finally gave up,
don't forget proplifting from Lowes or home depot
Trying to keep that snake in water...worked out well for a year...then died...ps.
Glasses AND bangs...
Nerd vibe is Strong and good 👍🏿💚🌱
I can’t believe that stores will sell things like spider plants and aloe for $10-15+!!! I can barely get rid of mine for free.
Your videos are so clever but also applicable and relevant.

No. It happened quite spontaneously for me but it got huge then started giving babies
Try a little more light but not direct sun

I'm in Florida too and have syngonium taking over my yard!
Seriously I would love both kinds.
I guess I need to contact my family down south
Some other places you can snag free cuttings is your office, big business buildings and food courts because no one in those places, cares!
😂😂😂 please do not give me any ideas I ride around with shears as it is omg
i am allergic to aloe, so i buy them for the look of them,
I had a plant that was less than a few months old, barely in the ground a few months and a friend asked me for a cutting, there wasn’t enough of a plant to start cutting it, I mean it’s like asking a baby to donate blood! Wait for it to grow up a bit pls 😂
you are such a gem.
I paid for all of these plants
My pilea died :(((
I like my pilea
Pothos should totally be number 1
Interesting.

I've had a pilea for 3+ years and it's never grown a pup. Ever.
Mine took a loooong time too.. at least 2 years before it started pushing out pups.
