HOW TO Propagate Philodendron Melanochrysum

Easy Step-By-Step Guide

READ ON!

Identify a section of a vine with at least one node and one leaf on a healthy plant.

1

Use a pair of clean, sharp scissors to cut off a piece of the vine below a node.

2

Important!

You must cut BELOW a node.

New growth comes from nodes, which is why it needs to be included on the cutting.

3

Plant your cutting into your potting mix. Make sure the node is buried.

Place in bright, indirect light. Keep the potting mix moist and the humidity high.

4

After a few weeks, you can test your cutting by giving it a very gentle tug...

5

...if you feel some resistance, that means a root system has developed!

And that's how to propagate Philodendron Melanochrysum!

Not too hard, right?
