Going green has never been more beautiful and convenient!
Growing plants from leaves is an amazing process, and it always gives great results. To do this you need a healthy leaf cut from the desired plant to be dipped in rooting hormone then placed into your preferred medium for growth.
This usually requires some intensive care but with patience all hope should eventually grow into a beautiful plant.
Let’s take a look at the list of 8 great plants that grow from leaves easily!
Money Plant
This plant is an excellent plant for anyone who wants to bring luck and blessings into their homes. This versatile, easy-to grow herb can be grown both indoors or outdoors.
Cut the leaves from a stem, leaving its nodes intact. You can now place these cut pieces in soil or another rooting medium of your choice to foster new roots as they grow!
Make sure to dip them into some rooting hormones so that their growth is sped up even more quickly.
Aloe Vera
Having an Aloe Vera plant in your home is not only a pretty flowers, but it can provide many benefits.
Not only this unusual houseplant grows quickly and stores water when they are thirsty from their root springs but Aloe Vera plants create new leaves all year long!
You can plant a cutting from your Aloe Vera plant to create new growth. Keep it in water for about 3 days and then remove the bottom few inches of soil so that only 1 inch remains above ground level.
Place this potting mix into another container large enough for roots but not more than two layers deep; fill with fresh potting soil until just before you reach top edge (you do want some room on top).
Make sure there are several drainage holes at base too! You are now ready to plant your Aloe Vera cutting in the container!
Jade Plant
The beautiful jade plant is a type of succulent that has small white and pink flowers.
The petals are said to bring good luck, blessings for your household–and they make any home look elegant!
In order to grow a healthy plant, take some leaves from the Jade plant. Prepare one part compost and soil in an pot with proper drainage and add them in your container. Plant the Jade leaf.
Water accordingly, and once you see roots coming out it means that soon small plants will come out too, ready to be planted individually.
Snake Plant
The plant is a beautiful evergreen, which means it grows year after. This makes the plant perfect for those who want an ornamental tree with dark green stripes and leaves that can withstand low-light or drought conditions.
Using a sharp knife, cut a leaf from a healthy snake plant. Add some water in the container just enough so that it covers the leaf.
Change the water every 2-3 days and don’t expose your snake plant leaf to direct sunlight. The plant is ready to be transplanted when you see that roots are developed.
Begonia
Begonias are a great choice for growing beautiful flowers in your garden.
These subtropical natives can also be used as ornamental plants, which you may choose to grow indoors if the climate of where they will live is cold enough and there’s not much natural light outside–but these tendrils really come into their own best when grown outdoors with sunlight!
It is quite tricky to propagate begonias from leaves. You will require a sharp knife and cutting board for it, as well as healthy leaves from the plant of your choice with petioles that can be snipped at 45° angles without too much trouble!
Once you have cut them into suitable sizes (about 3 inches long), mix up half dirt/half vermiculite or perlite in order make sure everything remains loose enough before planting – making sure they’re planted stem side down so their roots don’t rot while growing outwards.
After just one month, these babies should start developing new growth buds on top which means when ready to be transplanted.
Spider Plant
It’s among the easiest houseplants to grow and you can even plant it outside. The striking green leaves will liven up any space indoors or out!
Spider plants are an easy plant to propagate if you can find some of their smaller leaves, called “plantlets.”
Simply cut the little shoot off and place it in water for a few days until roots start developing. Your new spider-planted friend will be ready after that!
African Violet
The vibrant colors of these herbaceous plants make them a great addition to any garden. They can survive hot summers and their beautiful flowers add soothing touches throughout your home or office!
African Violets are often propagated from the leaves. First you will need some fresh leaves from a healthy plant and then cut them with a sharp knife to make a 45 degrees angle.
Mixing one part soil mix into two parts perlite or vermiculite is recommended for optimal rooting conditions; Water sparingly until moist then place outside bright indirect light area. Once roots form, the plant is ready to be transplanted.
