Propagating a ZZ plant in water involves taking cuttings and allowing them to root in water before planting them in soil.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Take Cuttings: Cut stems from a healthy ZZ plant using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.
- Place in Water: Put the cuttings in a clean glass or container filled with fresh water. Ensure that only the bottom portion of the stem is submerged to prevent rotting.
- Change Water Regularly: Replace the water every few weeks to keep it fresh and oxygenated, promoting root growth.
- Wait for Roots to Develop: Within a few weeks, you should start to see roots emerging from the cut end of the stem.
- Plant in Soil: Once the roots are a few inches long, carefully plant the rooted cutting in well-draining potting mix.
