Plant Propagation: A Step-by-Step Guide

Propagation is easiest when hygiene, timing, and node selection are done carefully from the start.

This guide helps you avoid common errors and create a reliable propagation workflow at home.

1) Select vigorous parent growth

Choose mature, healthy stems with visible nodes and no signs of stress or pest pressure.

Strong source material significantly improves rooting speed and cutting survival.

• - Use sterilized tools before each cut
• - Cut below a healthy node
• - Avoid thin, recently stressed growth

2) Choose your rooting medium

Water offers visibility, while sphagnum and airy substrate reduce transition shock later.

Pick one method and stay consistent until roots establish clearly.
