Introduction
The pink princess philodendron is a popular houseplant due to its attractive foliage and easy care. These plants are grown from stem cuttings, which can be propagated in soil or water before being planted in their permanent home. Propagating a pink princess philodendron is simple and will result in new plants for you to admire. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to propagate these beautiful plants with step-by-step instructions.
What You’ll Need
Before you start propagating your pink princess philodendron, make sure you have the following materials:
– A sharp knife or scissors
– Rooting hormone powder (optional)
– Plastic bag or cup for rooting
– Potting mix
– Containers for planting
Steps For Propagation
Once you have all your materials gathered and ready, here are the steps for propagation:
1. Use a sharp knife or scissors to remove a piece of stem from the main plant that’s 3-4 inches long with at least two leaves on it. Make sure there’s no damage on the stem where it was cut off so it doesn’t become infected later on during propagation.
2. Place the cutting into water right away if desired (if using soil instead of water skip this step). If using rooting hormone powder, dip one end of the cutting into it first before placing into water/soil.
3a.(water method): Put the cutting in a clear plastic bag filled halfway with fresh room temperature tap water and place it somewhere warm but not directly exposed to sun rays (like near an east facing window). Change out this water every few days as needed until roots form; once roots appear in about 4 weeks time then you can transfer them over into soil pots!
3b.(soil method): Fill up some small containers such as yogurt cups with potting mix – make sure there’s enough drainage by poking holes at bottom before adding any dirt – moisten dirt slightly then push stem down firmly so one set of leaves sits above ground level while other set remains below surface level; cover container lid tightly after doing so source-https://www.gardentherapyca.com/how-to-propagate-pink-princess-philodendrons/ . Also fill up larger containers with same type soil but keep aside since those will only be used when transferring rooted stems over from original container once root formation occurs within 4 weeks time!
4.(both methods): Monitor progress by checking weekly if any visible changes occur such as root development; add more moisture when necessary but don’t saturate medium too much otherwise rot may occur(if using plastic bags change out liquid every few day); Once developed enough they should be moved into their own individual pots filled up entirely with potting mix–make sure pot has ample drainage holes at base–then place them somewhere bright yet cool like an east facing window sill source https://www1hsnstorecom/blog/how_to_care_for_the_pink_princess/. Keep watering regularly throughout growing season & enjoy watching new additions grow healthy & strong!
