propagation

Question

Can you propagate a heart shaped philodendron from leaf cuttings?

Answer 1

Philodendron scandens, heartleaf philodendron is easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Make a 3 inch cut just below a leaf, remove all but the top leaf and look for a leaf node. Place the cutting in a small glass of water with the node submerged. (The node is where new roots will emerge.) Place the glass in medium light - no harsh, direst sun. When the roots are 1.5-2 inches long, pot the new plant in loose potting soil. Voila!
