Houseplants to Propagate Within a Month

1. Spider Plant

Botanical Name: Chlorophytum comosum

Spider plants can be easily propagated by dividing the plant’s offsets or plantlets. Wait until the offsets have developed roots, then carefully separate them from the parent plant and plant them in well-draining soil.

2. Pothos

Botanical Name: Epipremnum aureum

Pothos can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with a few nodes and place it in water or directly in moist soil. After a few weeks, roots will develop, and the cutting can be potted. It is one of the best houseplants to propagate within a month.

3. Snake Plant

Botanical Name: Sansevieria trifasciata

Snake plants can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes or through leaf cuttings. For leaf cuttings, cut a healthy leaf into sections and plant them in a well-draining potting mix. Roots will develop, and new plants will form.

4. Coleus

Botanical Name: Plectranthus scutellarioides

Coleus is typically propagated from stem cuttings. Take a cutting with several nodes, remove the lower leaves, and place it in water or soil. After a few weeks, roots will develop, and the cutting can be potted.

5. African Violet

Botanical Name: Saintpaulia

African violets can be propagated through leaf cuttings. Take a healthy leaf and insert the petiole (leaf stem) into a moist growing medium. New plantlets will emerge from the base of the leaf.

6. Jade Plant

Botanical Name: Crassula ovata

Jade plants are the easiest houseplants to propagate within a month from stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry for a few days to form calluses, then plant them in well-draining soil. They will root and develop into new plants.

7. Prayer Plant

Botanical Name: Maranta leuconeura

Prayer plants can be propagated by division or through stem cuttings. Separate the plant into smaller sections with roots, or take stem cuttings and place them in water or soil. Once the roots develop, you will witness new plants grow.

8. English Ivy

Botanical Name: Hedera helix

English ivy can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with a few nodes, remove the lower leaves, and place it in water. Once roots develop, transfer them to a pot with well-draining soil.

9. Peperomia

Botanical Name: Peperomia spp.

Peperomia plants can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take a cutting with a few leaves and place it in a moist growing medium. Roots will develop, and the cutting can be potted into a new container.

10. Boston Fern

Botanical Name: Nephrolepis exaltata

Boston ferns can be propagated by dividing the plant’s runners. Carefully separate the offsets or young plants that grow along the runners and plant them in a suitable potting mix. Keep the soil moist to encourage its establishment.

11. Kalanchoe

Botanical Name: Kalanchoe spp.

Kalanchoe plants can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with several nodes, allow it to dry for a day or two to form calluses, and plant it in well-draining soil. Roots will develop, and a beautiful Kalanchoe will grow.

12. Aloe Vera

Botanical Name: Aloe vera

Aloe vera can be propagated by removing and planting the offsets, also known as “pups,” that grow around the base of the parent plant. Wait until the offsets are of a reasonable size, then carefully separate them and plant them in well-draining soil.

13. ZZ Plant

Botanical Name: Zamioculcas zamiifolia

Carefully remove the ZZ plant from its pot, and use clean and sharp tools to divide the plant, ensuring that each section has healthy roots and stems. Plant each divided section in its own pot or container with well-draining soil.

14. Swiss Cheese Plant

Botanical Name: Monstera deliciosa

Swiss Cheese Plants are one of the easiest houseplants to propagate within a month by taking stem cuttings with at least one node and an aerial root. Place the cutting in water or soil. Roots will develop, and the cutting can be potted.

15. Philodendrons

These can be propagated similarly to pothos. Cut a stem just below a node and place it in water or soil. Roots should start forming in a couple of weeks.

16. Succulents

Many types of succulents can propagate quickly from leaf cuttings. You just need to allow the cuttings to dry and callous over before placing them on top of well-draining soil. Graptopetalum, Sedum, and Echeveria are perfect for the job!

17. Tradescantia

Botanical Name: Tradescantia spp.

Tradescantia is also on the list of houseplants to propagate within a month from stem cuttings. Take a cutting with several nodes and place it in water or directly in moist soil. After a few weeks, you will notice the roots developing, and the cutting can be potted.
