Living with plants Choose maybe five to ten different types of plants and keep it simple! This way you become an expert at caring for your specific plants and instead of buying new plants when you move, you simply learn how to propagate them. Propagation You need to use scissors, ripping them off with your nails will not work. It’s also important where you cut them. Look for a root node, a node is a small bump from which new roots will grow. There are conflicting theories on this, as I have managed to root all cuts and plants with water. Set up the growing container. Choose a clear container as it is very reassuring to watch the roots grow. Place the container in a warm and bright place, such as a window, but make sure the windows are well sealed. Wait until the roots have grown out, about 3 inches, longer will work. Be patient and enjoy the growth! It can take weeks to months. When the roots are mature, it’s time to plant! Choose a pot with a drainage hole, fill it up about 1/3 from the rim, stick the root in the soil and add more soil, press down lightly. Spray and water, let drain. Put them in a place indoors where they can grow and thrive. Pro-tip: Plants usually like to stay in the same place. Stockhomed will help you get them acclimated! Now you not only have your greenery at home, but all the health benefits and feel it gives your home.
