To propagate by stem cuttings, take a cutting from just below a leaf and the node, snip off the bottom leaves, and submerge it in a little vase of water. Over a few weeks, the roots should sprout on approximately one-third of the stem's length, and you can transplant it into a poppy pot.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or just beginning your green thumb journey, growing houseplants can be an enchanting pastime. So pick up a cutting, pop it in a planter filled with potting mix, water it with love, and watch your own little green mini-me's bloom!
