Indoor plant propagation
Want to grow more plants from your favourite houseplant? With a few easy steps, you can turn one plant into many. It’s fun, simple and sustainable. Each plant has its own method of propagation, so find the right one and click through for specific instructions.
Why should you propagate houseplants?
Propagating plants gives you more greenery and helps your original plant grow healthier and bushier. When you plant several cuttings in one pot, you’ll end up with a much fuller plant.
How to propagate a houseplant
There are two main ways to propagate houseplants: by taking cuttings or by dividing the plant. Here's how both methods work.
1. Taking cuttings
Some plants – like Monstera, Philodendron or Scindapsus – grow aerial roots. These are roots that appear along the stem. They make propagation extra easy. Just cut a piece of stem with an aerial root and place it in water or soil.
Plants without aerial roots, like Syngonium, can also be propagated. Cut just below a node on the stem – this is where roots are most likely to grow.
2. Dividing the plant
Some houseplants can be divided into multiple new plants. Think of Alocasia, Strelitzia or Zamioculcas. These plants grow from rhizomes, tubers or offshoots. Take the plant out of its pot and gently divide the root system. Each piece can be potted up on its own – giving you several new plants at once.
