Want to turn one plant into ten without spending a cent? Propagation is the answer! Many popular houseplants can be easily grown from a single stem or leaf cutting. At PlantCareHub, we love water propagation because it lets you watch the roots grow in real-time.
The Basic Steps:
Identify a Node: Look for the small bump on the stem where a leaf meets the branch. This is where new roots will emerge.
Make the Cut: Using a clean, sharp pair of scissors, cut just below the node.
Place in Water: Put your cutting in a glass of clean water, ensuring the node is submerged but the leaves stay dry.
Be Patient: Place it in a bright spot (no direct sun) and change the water weekly. In a few weeks, you'll see tiny white roots!
