How to Propagate Plants

Looking to expand your houseplant collection without breaking the bank? Water propagation is a simple way to grow more pants and our Ovate propagation stations are the perfect tool to make it happen in style!


Ready to get started?

  1. First, pick your favorite plant that you would like to propagate.  Then, snip at least 1/4 below the node using sharp scissors or a knife.  Be careful not to cut yourself!
  1. Next, fill the vial on your propagation station with fresh water.  While most plants will grow in tap water, spring water can provide extra minerals to boost growth. Place your plant cutting in the vial, ensuring the nodes are covered.
  1. Make sure to change the water every 3-5 days or sooner if it becomes cloudy.  Keep an eye on your plant baby to see if it's developing roots.  Some plants will root in just a few weeks, while others will take longer to show off their roots.
  1. Once your plant baby has developed sufficient root growth (at least 2-4 inches), it's ready to be planted in soil and watch it grow up! And when your plant baby has reached maturity and is looking fabulous, show it off with one of our modern, handcrafted plant stands (link to plant stand). It's the perfect finishing touch for any plant parents' décor.
