Easily multiply your polka dot plants! This guide provides simple steps for propagating these vibrant houseplants, whether in water or soil.
Take a 3-4 inch cutting from a healthy stem with at least two or three leaves.
Remove the lower leaves from the bottom inch of the stem.
Place the cutting in water or soil. For water propagation, submerge the nodes (where the leaves were removed) in water and change the water every few days. For soil propagation, dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix.
Provide bright, indirect light.
Be patient! Rooting can take several weeks.
