Many are now investing in plants nowadays. With the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, having a healthy thriving plant to look at takes all those stress away. Hence, if you are new to this whole fuss, there’s only one thing you need to learn first and foremost; propagation. There are plants that can be quite challenging to propagate, however, some are easy and feasible for beginners like you. 

4 Plants That Are Easy To Propagate For Beginners

Succulents

Succulents are simple to propagate and are quite easy to sustain. Here are the ways to propagate succulents:

• Just carefully take a few leaves by slowly wiggling them and mildly twist them to get detached from its stem. 
• Make sure not to rip the leaves or it will not grow roots. 
• After, place them in an area where there is an ample amount of bright light. 
• Place these leaves on the top of your cactus’ soil and soak them in a bright but indirect sunlight. Then, every a couple of days, spritz some water using a spray bottle to control the amount of water you give them. 
• After a few days, you will see some roots popping out. Sometimes it could take weeks for the roots to pop out, so be patient. 
• Leave it to where it is until some new baby succulents are birth. Then, transfer it to its own pot. You have a choice to remove the leaf but it is ideal to keep it as it and wait until it falls out and wither naturally. 

Monstera

Monstera has a striking tropical appeal and is mostly used as an indoor plant. Additionally, they are very easy to propagate. Here are the steps in propagating monstera:

• With clean sharp scissors, cut an inch below the node and aerial root. This is where new roots will pop out when once they are already soaked in water. 
• Next, place the stems in a pot or jar of water and make sure that you completely soak the aerial root. 
• Then, place it in an area where there is enough bright light but keep it away from direct sunlight. The more indirect sunlight, the faster the propagation. 
• Moreover, change the water weekly and ensure that the aerial roots are soaked or covered fully. 
• Lastly, if you notice that the roots are already 4 inches long, plant it in a pot or soil.

Snake Plant

There are various kinds of snake plant but they can all be propagated using the same process. Here is the process of propagating snake plants:

• Notice if your snake plant has new pup growing on the side. 
• Wait for it to grow up to five or six inches tall to make sure it can survive on its own. 
• Take it from the mother plant and transfer it to another pot. 

Pathos

Pathos is another plant that needs not much attention. It can grow on its own with a little effort. How to propagate pathos?

• Use a sharp knife and cut off a part of the plant. 
• Choose a part that is at least six inches in length with four leaves and two nodes.
• After, place the cut ends in the water.
• Place it in an area with a lot of bright indirect sunlight. 
• Weekly replace the water.
• Wait for a few weeks for the roots to pop out. 

Propagation may sound like a complicated concept for gardening neophytes. However, if you begin with ones that are feasible, you can grow from there and develop more skills and knowledge about plants and their nature. Thus, as a beginner, start off with these plants to guarantee those roots to come out.
