If A Stem Breaks Off Can I Stick It Back In The Soil And Regrow It?

Question

In transferring my plant to a pot a few stems broke off. I put them in water and they look good. Will roots develop so I can put it back in the pot?

Answer 1

It depends on the plant. Many houseplants can be propagated easily this way. Many will root just sticking them into a pot with potting mix.
