Propagation Tips for Rare Houseplants

Here’s how to propagate your favorite rare houseplants:

  1. Monstera Stem Cuttings
    Cut a Monstera stem with a node below a leaf, place in water, and wait for roots. Our Monstera collection, like Thai Constellation, propagates well this way.

  2. Philodendron Cuttings
    Snip a Philodendron stem with two nodes, root in water or soil, and watch it grow. Try it with varieties from our Philodendron collection, as detailed in our Philodendron care guide.

  3. Syngonium Cuttings
    Syngoniums root easily in water from stem cuttings. Our Syngonium collection, like Pink Splash, is perfect for quick propagation.

  4. Anthurium Division
    Divide mature Anthuriums at the root during repotting for new plants. Our Anthurium collection includes varieties ideal for this method.

  5. Use Proper Tools and Care
    Sterilize scissors and use filtered water to avoid rot. Follow our Anthurium care guide for post-propagation tips to ensure success.
