Propagation Made Easy!

1. Inspect Your Cutting
When you receive your cutting, check that it’s healthy and that the node (the spot where roots will grow) is visible and intact.
2. Choose a Propagation Method
Decide on your preferred method for rooting the cutting. You can use:
- Water: Place the node in a jar of water.
- Perlite: Use a well-draining container with moistened perlite.
- Moss: Use damp sphagnum moss in a container or propagation box.
- Soil: Plant the node directly into well-draining, moist potting soil.
3. Set Up Your Chosen Method
- For water, fill a clean jar and submerge the node while keeping leaves above the water.
- For perlite, place the node into the damp perlite and lightly press it in.
- For moss, nestle the node into the damp moss, ensuring good contact.
- For soil, plant the cutting in a small pot with moist potting soil, burying the node just under the surface.
4. Provide Bright, Indirect Light
Place your setup in a spot with bright, indirect light to encourage root development.
5. Monitor and Care
- For water, change the water every 2-3 days to keep it fresh.
- For perlite, moss, and soil, ensure they stay moist but not soggy. In a few weeks, roots will begin to develop. Once the roots are a few inches long, for water propagation, you can transfer the cutting to soil.
