Indoor Plant Propagation from Cuttings

FAQ About Indoor Plant Propagation from Cuttings

How can I propagate a plant from a leaf cutting?

To propagate a plant from a leaf cutting, gently remove a healthy leaf from the parent plant, ensuring that you include a small part of the stem (petiole). For plants such as succulents, allow the leaf to dry for a day to form a callus. Then, place the leaf on the surface of a well-draining soil mix or in water if applicable. Keep the soil slightly moist and wait patiently for roots and new growth to emerge, which may take several weeks.
