Hoya, Philodendron, Jade plant--water rooting.
Comments (6)On the Philo, you can put it in soil any time. If it's got aerial roots, it's an epiphyte, so doesn't need a ton of room for roots, and doesn't appreciate soggy soil. If you put it along the surface, instead of sticking straight down into the pot, it should be much more likely to sprout multiple tops at the nodes. It would be best to ask about the jade cutting on the cacti & succulents forum. No experience with Hoya. Good luck!!...See MoreI planted a cutting upside down. Need advice.

Comments (5)Hi nova12, Well I did the same thing about 2 months ago and I was worried too but once the roots got going it only took about 2-3 weeks and it started to grow leaves the right way up and now after 3 months it is a very beautiful Hoya and the leaves are now growing the right way up.So don't worry too much as your not the only one to make this mistake lol..Hope your Hoya grows as well as mine did..Karen......See MoreGrowing tomatoes upside down!!! :):)& growing pineapples
Comments (52)to grow tomatoes upside down its better to use 5 gallon buckets. You cut a small hole in the bottom and place a sheet of newspaper or a coffee filter over it. Fill the bucket with a good potting soil, shaking occasionally so the soil will settle. lay another sheet of newspaper or coffee filter on top of the soil. cut another small hole in the bucket lid. Put the lid on and turn the bucket over. cut a small hole in newspaper or coffee filter so you can plant the tomatoe. I plant them when they are pretty small as its easier to get them in. Water daily until it get a nice size then flip the bucket over and hang it up. Preferable to a heavy clothline pole or something strong enough to hold it. You can remove the lid and plant something in the top or you can leave the lid on. Water well until the water starts running out the bottom. No staking is needed and tomatoes never lay on the ground. I am doing this method this year. I'm doing two different buckets, hanging them on the old kind of clothline pole that's like a large T. I put chicken wire loosely up the main pole and am growing cucumbers up the pole. So far everything is doing good. Happy Gardening, Gemfire...See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
