Every gardener who has ever had to propagate a plant that he liked so much knows that the leaf method takes a lot of time. According to experts, there is an alternative. Zamioculcas or the dollar tree is propagated in various ways. Among them, there are two main ones. For one, the leaves of the plant are used, and for the second, flower tubers are needed.
How to transplant Zamioculcas
However, gardeners share their experience - there is also a third option for propagating your favorite plant. You will need a small cutting. Its length should be about 5 centimeters, and there should be 3-4 leaves on the stem. Such a cutting should be placed in water for 2-4 weeks. During this time, the plant will release full-fledged roots, and you can prepare a pot for planting a flower.
It is important to remember that Zamioculcas belongs to the category of plants that do not require a lot of space in a pot. The dollar tree will not grow new cuttings until its root system completely fills the pot. This method of plant propagation is considered an average between the two that have existed for a long time. The leaves take a long time to grow roots, and therefore many months may pass.
But propagation by tubers is much better, because it allows you to immediately get a full-fledged plant. However, for this you need to have a Zamioculcas at home, which has already grown well. This way you will be able to get much fewer plants. From small cuttings you can create a huge company of flowers, if you have such a desire.
