Did you know you can grow new tomato plants from its suckers? This is a great way to have infinite tomato plants from just one plant! Here is how you do it: 1. Identify Suckers: Look for small shoots emerging from the leaf axils (the angle between the stem and a leaf). They’re typically 2–4 inches long when ideal for propagation. 2. Remove Suckers: Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners to cut the sucker from the plant. Choose healthy, vigorous ones for best results. 3. Prepare for Rooting: - Remove the lower leaves, leaving only the top 2–4 leaves. - Optionally, dip the cut end in rooting hormone to encourage faster root growth (not mandatory). 4. Root in Water or Soil: - Water: Place the sucker in a jar of water, submerging the cut end. Keep it in a bright, indirect light area and change the water every few days. Roots should appear in 1–2 weeks. - Soil: Plant the sucker in a small pot with moist, well-draining potting mix. Cover with a plastic bag to retain humidity and place in indirect light. Roots typically form in 1–2 weeks. 5. Transplant: Once roots are 1–2 inches long (for water-rooted) or the cutting feels anchored (for soil-rooted), transplant into a larger pot or garden bed with rich, well-draining soil. 6. Care: Water regularly, provide full sun (6–8 hours daily), and support the plant as it grows. Treat it like a regular tomato seedling. Notes: - Suckers root easily because they’re actively growing tissue, often producing new plants faster than seeds (2–3 weeks to establish vs. 6–8 weeks for seed-grown plants). - The new plant will be a clone of the parent, inheriting its exact traits (e.g., variety, flavor). - Best time to take suckers is early in the growing season when the plant is healthy and actively growing. Credit: ? Let me know in the comments and I’ll give credit.

Steps on how to rebraid a Money Tree 🌱Prepare your materials. You will need a pair of pruning shears, and garden tape. Stake for support is optional. 🌱Water your plant thoroughly. This will make the stems more pliable and easier to braid. 🌱Start braiding the stems from the bottom up. Cross the left stem over the middle one, then the right stem over the middle one, and repeat. 🌱Tie the braids up with garden tape or yarn every few inches. This will help to keep the braids in place. Continue braiding until you reach the top of the plant. Leave about 5 inches of unbraided stems at the top. 🌱Cut off any dead or damaged stems. This will help to create a clean, healthy braid. 🌱Optional: Insert a stake into each of the unbraided stems. This will help to support the plant and keep the braids in place. 🌱Water your plant again and enjoy your new braid! Here are some additional tips for rebraiding a money tree plant: 💚Be gentle when you are braiding the stems. You don’t want to damage them. 💚If the plant is leaning, you can stake it to help keep it upright. 💚Rebraid your money tree plant every few months to keep the braids looking neat and tidy.

Want more lavender without spending more money? 🪻 In this video, I’ll show you exactly how I propagate lavender from softwood cuttings—no fancy setup needed. I use rooting hormone (optional), plant them in well-draining soil, keep them in indirect light, and cover them to keep humidity up. In 2–6 weeks, they’ll root, and I’ll either plant them out by October or overwinter them for spring. It’s such a satisfying process—and easier than most people think! 💜🌿 #lavenderpropagation #GrowYourOwnGarden #PlantPropagation #FallGardenPrep #GardenTips #HerbGardening #PropagateWithMe #GardenTok #Homesteading101 #GardeningHacks #propagate #propagateplants

If your Alocasia is suffering from root rot, here’s how I’m attempting to save mine 🪴 STEP 1 – Remove the plant If the stem feels loose, wobbly or mushy at the base, carefully remove the plant from its pot so you can inspect the damage. STEP 2 – Find the root growth points Look closely around the bottom of the stem for small bumps. These are potential points where new roots can emerge, so it’s important to preserve them. STEP 3 – Remove the rot Using a clean, sharp blade, cut away the mushy, rotten base. Remove all the affected tissue, but be careful not to cut too high and remove the healthy root growth points. STEP 4 – Let it callous Leave the cut surface to dry and callous for around 24–48 hours. You want the cut to dry out and form a protective layer before placing it into your growing medium. STEP 5 – Go corm hunting! This step is optional, but always worth checking your old soil for corms. I managed to find NINE! Hopefully, that’s nine more potential Alocasias to grow. STEP 6 – Prepare your new setup Once the cut has calloused, find a clear jar and fill it around halfway with a lava rock mix or LECA. STEP 7 – Position your plant Carefully place the Alocasia into the jar and add more growing medium around it to support and stabilise the plant. STEP 8 – Add some water Give the medium a good watering and leave a small water reservoir at the bottom of the jar. Make sure the cut base of the plant isn’t sitting directly in the water, as we don’t want to encourage more rot! STEP 9 – Find the perfect spot Place it somewhere with bright, indirect light, warmth and high humidity. Keep an eye on the moisture levels and give it time to hopefully develop a new root system. Now it’s a waiting game! Hopefully, with a little patience, we can get this Alocasia Polly back to full health. 🤞 Have you ever managed to save an Alocasia after losing all its roots? I’d love to hear how you did it! #alocasiapolly #plantcare #plantcaretips #plantsoftiktokplants #plants

Stop throwing away your kitchen scraps. That banana, onion, tomato, or pepper you’re about to toss can actually grow into a new plant with almost zero cost and very little effort. Here’s what actually works (and what most people get wrong): • Banana: Cut in half, skewer it over water until roots and sprouts appear, then pot it. It won’t give you a full fruiting tree indoors in most homes, but it will grow into a beautiful tropical plant that thrives in bright light. • Onion: Sit it on the mouth of a water-filled bottle. Fresh green shoots appear quickly and the roots form on their own. You can keep harvesting the greens for weeks. • Tomato & pepper: Crush or slice and press into moist soil, cover lightly, and keep warm. Seedlings usually pop up in 7–14 days. • Water spinach (or similar stems): Just stick the cut ends in water and change it every couple of days. Roots form fast. The real value isn’t just “free plants.” It’s teaching kids (or grandkids) that food doesn’t magically appear at the store. It’s reducing waste. And it’s a simple, quiet reminder that life is designed to keep producing when we give it a little chance. I’ve started doing this with kitchen scraps and it’s become one of the most peaceful, productive habits in the house. No special tools. No expensive kits. Just water, soil, and a little patience. What’s the first scrap you’re going to try regenerating?

Here are some tips for growing cabbage in your garden: ✅Sunlight: Cabbage needs at least six hours of full sun each day, but more is better. ✅Soil: Cabbage needs moist, well-drained, fertile soil with lots of organic matter. The soil pH should be between 6.5 and 6.8. ✅Watering: Water cabbage regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Irregular watering can lead to misshapen or bitter heads. You can use a drip line irrigation system to deliver water directly to the soil. ✅Spacing: Cabbage plants have large root systems, so give them enough space to grow. Sowing: Sow cabbage seeds ¼ inch deep and cover them lightly with soil. You can sow seeds indoors in a greenhouse or on a windowsill to get a head start. ✅Transplanting: If you sow seeds indoors, you can transplant the young plants outdoors after about five weeks. #gaardening #backyardgarden #cabbage #gardentok #gardeningtips

Why plant cassava so close together? 🌿 Indonesian farmers have turned it into a clever living fence that also provides food. The stems are planted tightly and supported with bamboo and rope. As the leaves grow thicker they create a natural barrier to keep chickens and ducks out. The best part? The leaves can be eaten and the starchy roots harvested later. A simple idea that turns one plant into both protection and food. Zero-waste farming at its best! 👏

🌼 DON’T throw away your mums when they stop blooming! Those brown, crispy flowers don’t necessarily mean your mum is finished. If the foliage underneath is still healthy, it may have plenty of life left. 🌱 Here’s what to do: 🌱 Plant it in the ground instead of tossing it. ☀️ Choose a sunny spot with at least half a day of sun. Full sun is even better. ✂️ Remove the faded blooms, but don’t cut the entire plant back right away. Wait until a hard freeze turns it brown, then trim it down to a few inches above the soil. Here in Delaware, mums can be a beautiful addition to the garden beyond just one fall season. 🌼🍂 📌 SAVE this Reel before you throw your mums away! #LeonsGardenWorld #MumCare #DelawareGardening #FallGardening #GardenTips

How to Prep Okra NO SLIME 🚫 First wash and dry it really well. Then cut off the top and remove a little off the end. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces. Lay them onto a baking sheet in a single layer and dry overnight. If you don’t have that much time, you can place on a greased baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400 degrees F for 10-20 minutes. Then sauté in some aromatics and season with salt and pepper. That’s it. No slime. #howto #okra #howtovideo #okrarecipes #kitchenhacks #hack #hacks #tipoftheday

I’d you cut the top of a pineapple off, plant it into dirt, after about 2 years you’ll have grown a pineapple Major food brands in America are starting to remove the tops of pineapples so you can’t do this and grow your own. If they have a patent on the pineapple, they’ll remove the top so you can’t grow it at home It should take about 30 months to have full grown pineapples We should not be allowing companies to engineer and patent food

Are you about to toss your fall mums because the stems turned brown? Plant them this weekend, before the ground freezes, in a sunny spot that drains. Then leave the dead stems alone, and once the ground freezes, add four inches of shredded leaves. Would you let them look that rough all winter? #gardening #fallgarden #fallmums #fallmums

🪴 THE POT YOU PUT YOUR PLANT IN MATTERS WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK! A plant in the wrong pot can become a constant battle with watering, root rot, drying out, and even temperature stress. Here’s how I choose my pots: 🏺 TERRACOTTA: Best for plants that like to dry out between waterings. It’s VERY porous, so moisture evaporates through the sides and the soil dries faster. Great for succulents, cacti, snake plants, hoyas, and other plants that hate staying wet. The downside? You’ll need to water more frequently so avoid putting anything moisture sensitive into this material!!! 🪴 PLASTIC: Holds onto moisture longer because it doesn’t breathe. This is great for plants that prefer consistently moist soil or for anyone who tends to forget to water. It’s also lightweight, inexpensive, and doesn’t heat up or cool down as quickly (except black plastic pots which conduct heat in direct sun) 🤍 CERAMIC: Glazed ceramic behaves much more like plastic because the glaze prevents water from evaporating through the pot. Unglazed ceramic is more breathable! Ceramic is also heavier, which can be a huge advantage for large plants that get top heavy! 💧 DRAINAGE I don’t care how gorgeous the pot is… if there’s no drainage hole, I don’t want my plant living in it. A decorative pot without drainage can work as a cachepot: keep your plant in a nursery pot with drainage and drop it inside. So before you buy a pot because it’s cute, ask : Does this plant like to dry out or stay moist? Does the pot have drainage? How quickly do I want the soil to dry? And is this pot going to get HOT? Because sometimes the best thing you can buy for your plant isn’t another fertilizer or fancy soil! It’s the right pot. 🪴 #planttips #howto #gardeningtiktokcontest ##gardening#garden
