Propagating Houseplants

Propagating houseplants is one of the most rewarding ways to expand your collection - and deepen your understanding of how plants grow. There are many techniques including water propagation, soil propagation, and air layering. From simple leaf cuttings, stem cuttings, to dividing mature root systems, propagation allows you to create new plants from the ones you already own.

Many popular houseplants - including pothos, philodendron, hoya, and snake plants - are super easy to propagate and often will root in a matter of days or weeks, depending on the plant and environment.

Beyond growing more plants, propagation helps rejuvenate leggy growth, rescue struggling specimens, and share plants with friends. With proper technique, clean tools, and the right timing during active growth, you can turn one healthy plant into many.
