How to Propagate Anthurium

You will need a clean sharp knife or scissors and fresh, well-draining potting mix.

1. 1 Remove the plant from its pot.
2. 2 Gently shake off loose soil to expose the root system and individual stems.
3. 3 Identify natural divisions where stems have their own separate root systems.
4. 4 Carefully separate the root balls, ensuring each division has at least 2–3 stems and a healthy root system.
5. 5 Pot each division into appropriately sized containers with fresh, well-draining soil.
6. 6 Water lightly and place in bright indirect light.

You will need a clean sharp knife or scissors, optional rooting hormone, and a small pot with moist perlite or a 1:1 mix of peat and perlite.

1. 1 Select a healthy stem with 2–3 leaves and visible aerial roots (these root more easily).
2. 2 Cut the stem just below a node (the point where leaves attach).
3. 3 Remove the lowest leaf to expose the node.
4. 4 Dip the cut end in rooting hormone if desired.
5. 5 Insert the cutting into moist perlite, ensuring the node is buried.
6. 6 Cover loosely with a clear plastic bag to maintain humidity.
7. 7 Place in bright indirect light at 70–75°F.
8. 8 Keep the mix lightly moist but not soggy.
