The first thing you need is a healthy parent plant with healthy green new growth. Once you have found a suitable plant, you can follow the steps to reliably propagate new ones. You can also watch our reel where Dilhan explains how to transplant.
Harden off your cuttings
When your cuttings are 3 to 5cm long, they are strong enough to be moved. Getting them ready for the real world is called hardening. Start about two weeks before planting out. Hardening reduces the risk of losing plants by acclimatising them from a high-humidity, high-moisture environment.
To do this, slowly reduce the humidity around the plant and gradually reduce the amount of water the roots are in contact with. The plants accumulate carbohydrates and thicken their cell walls.
Plant into soil
When you plant the propagation into soil, water it frequently and keep the soil moist, because the plant will not be used to dry conditions.
