4 Houseplants You Can Easily Propagate From Cuttings
Anytime we’re stuck inside we wish we had more houseplants to keep us company and make it feel more more lush. Even amateur green thumbs tend to feel this pull to acquire and nurture more plants.
There are many plants that are easily grown from cuttings and you don’t have to have a super green thumb to be successful. Here are four of our favorites.
English Ivy
Vines are often very easy to propagate since they love to climb and wander and English ivy is no different. Place cuttings in only a few inches of water in a northern-facing window or indirect sunlight. In a few weeks you should see roots appearing in the water and then you can plant in soil.
African Violet
To propagate in water place leaf with stem into water, standing up with the creative use of wax paper. Use a rubberband to secure a small section of waxpaper over a glass or jar filled with water. Poke holes in the paper for the stem to stand upright in the water. 2-5 weeks later you should have some roots which can be planted in soil.
Pothos
The cutting should be about 5 inches long or so and there should be nodules under the water in the jar or vase since this is where the roots will grow from.
Spider Plants
The long tendrils of this plant perfectly create lots of babies from which to make water plantings. They only need to be in water for a week or two in order to grow roots.
