Perfect 🌿💚 — let’s make you a propagation plan for each plant, so you know where to cut, how to root, and how to replant for the healthiest new babies and fuller parent plants.

==== 🌸 Pink Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen) ====

===== 🪴 Goal: =====

Move from water to soil + optionally take a few cuttings to make more plants later.

===== ✂️ Step 1 — Move to Soil =====
# Take it out of the glass globe carefully and rinse the roots.
# Inspect roots: Trim any dark, slimy, or mushy ones.
# Planting mix: - 1 part potting soil - 1 part perlite - 1 part orchid bark or coco coir
# Pot: Use one with drainage holes.
# Plant shallowly, water lightly, and keep it in bright, indirect light.
# Cover loosely with a clear bag or place near a humidifier for 2–3 weeks while roots adjust.

===== 💕 Aftercare: =====
* Expect a little leaf yellowing (normal shock).
* New growth should appear in 4–6 weeks.

===== 🌱 Later — To propagate new ones: =====
* Wait until it’s healthy in soil.
* Cut a stem with 2–3 leaves and a visible node.
* Root that cutting in water or sphagnum moss.

==== 🌿 Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus) ====

===== 🪴 Goal: =====

Encourage fuller growth + make new vines.

===== ✂️ Step 1 — Identify where to cut: =====
* Find a node (a bump or root nub under a leaf).
* Cut just below the node with clean scissors.
* Each cutting should have at least 1 leaf and 1 node.

===== 🌱 Step 2 — Root your cuttings: =====

Option 1 — Water method
* Place in clean water so the node is submerged (not the leaf).
* Change water every few days.
* Roots will form in 1–3 weeks.
* Once roots are 2–3 inches long → plant in soil.

Option 2 — Soil method
* Stick the node into moist soil, keep humidity high with a clear cover.
* Water when the top dries slightly.

===== 🌿 Step 3 — Make parent plant fuller: =====

When rooted, plant 3–5 cuttings back into the same pot for a lush, full look.

==== 🌳 Ginseng Ficus Bonsai ====

===== 🪴 Goal: =====

Shape the tree + create baby ficus (slow process but worth it).

===== ✂️ Step 1 — Trim for shape: =====
* Use sterilized shears.
* Cut new shoots just above a leaf node.
* Don’t remove more than ⅓ of total foliage at once.
* This encourages side-branching and a thicker canopy.

===== 🌱 Step 2 — Propagate cuttings: =====
# Choose a 3–4 inch cutting from healthy new growth.
# Let the cut end dry/callus for a few hours (it’ll ooze milky sap — that’s normal).
# Plant in a small pot with ½ perlite + ½ soil.
# Keep in warm, humid, bright (indirect) light.
# Mist regularly and cover loosely with a plastic dome or bag.
# Roots can take 4–8 weeks to develop.

===== 💕 Patience tip: =====

Ficus cuttings root slowly. Keep soil just barely moist — never soggy. Once you see new leaves, you’ve succeeded!

==== ✨ Optional: “Propagation Station” Setup Idea ====

If you like the aesthetic part (since your current display already has that vibe):
* Get a small glass test-tube holder or wall-mounted rack (Etsy/Amazon have tons of cute ones).
* Keep your Pothos and Aglaonema cuttings in water there until rooted.
* Label each tube (even with little chalk tags or stickers).
* Keep it near bright indirect light (like a window facing east or north).

Would you like me to draw or generate a visual guide showing exactly where to cut on each plant (using your photos as a base or a generic plant image)?
That way you can see which nodes or branches to trim for propagation.
