The Propagation Guide is a resource for plant parents who want to grow new plants from their existing indoor plant collection. Whether you’re looking to fill your home with foliage or share with friends, taking one plant and turning it into many is one of the best parts of growing houseplants. In the Propagation Guide, we’ll cover beginner to advanced topics to work with plants of any rarity.
Propagating houseplants should bring joy and excitement to your home, not stress. As a new plant parent, I heard about propagating but didn’t know where to start. I worried that cutting my plants incorrectly could hurt them, but when I turned to the internet for answers I soon became overwhelmed.
Searching through blog posts, Facebook groups, and Reddit threads, I found conflicting information everywhere I looked. To make matters worse, many sources repeated the same generic “wisdom” without an explanation of why it was true. Misinformation made me doubt my ability to propagate houseplants, and feel as though something that should be simple was too complicated to overcome.
Now, as the owner of hundreds of houseplants, I’ve used all kinds of techniques and found the ones that work. I’ve done the hard work of sorting through all the advice out there to give you straightforward, effective tips for all your plant propagation questions. Plus, if you share my love for Monstera plants, check out the Monstera Guide for comprehensive care solutions.
Growing plants is my favorite hobby, and I firmly believe that you can make the right choices without needing a degree in botany. Sometimes, all it takes is for a fellow plant parent to help you tell apart the myths from the facts.
Let’s make that indoor jungle a reality!
