Hey, you know I have many of these plants in my yard!! I think I am going to give them to my girlfriend because she is a plant lover. Can I propagate these plants? Is it by dividing the root or cutting the stem?
Sure. Whatever you want, you can propagate them by stem cutting or root division. But honestly, i prefer division for mature calathea.
I've had great success propagating this plant by stem cutting! To get started, you'll need to gather a few supplies:
- Choose healthy leaves.
- Prepare sharp, clean scissors.
- Cut the bottom leaves.
- Root the cutting using the soil method or even the water method.
- Finally, provide optimal conditions.
Absolutely! You can propagate this plant yourself, and I'm here to help you every step. In my experience, I've had the most success propagating by dividing the plant in the spring. I always use well-drained planting media and pots with drainage holes, and I'm sure these tips will help you have a successful propagation journey!
