Regardless of whether you’re just getting into houseplants or an established plant-parent (or even grandparent), propagation should be your best friend. Learn more about how and when to repot your houseplants. Many houseplants can easily outgrow their space, making repotting a must to keep your plants healthy. While it may sound like a simple task, knowing exactly how and when to repot is the key to success. Discover how to use cuttings to propagate houseplants. Taking cuttings from houseplants serves two purposes: It gives your plant a little bit of a trim to help it better fit its space, and it’s a free and easy way to increase the number of plants you have in your collection. Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants from existing ones, and trust us, it will save you a bunch of time and money in the long run. Typically, propagation is done with seeds. For houseplants though, vegetative cuttings are much more common. Sometimes, different houseplants can have subtle differences in how they’re propagated. To be honest, it’s a very broad topic. Luckily for you, we have a pretty robust collection of articles dedicated to houseplant propagation. Just about any plant can also be propagated by seed. However, that process can sometimes be either a lot of work or just too time consuming. Visit our Seed Starting for Beginners page to learn more about starting your favorite plants by seed.
