      I have better luck separating the rhizomes of ZZs. I’ve never been able to water propagate them.

      I’ve propagated two by just putting them into water when they came off the plant, didn’t cut them off. I also didn’t let anything callus, straight into water. They started rooting after a couple of weeks, left them in water for a few months, it took ages for new stems to grow after I planted them, though.

      Ive had sporadic luck with rooting whole stems. The method that’s been more successful for me (even though I initially thought it sounded completely crazy) is the leaf prop method. You pull a leaf off and stick it in soil. Then it starts growing roots directly from the leaf base and eventually makes a rhizome shape thing where another stem grows. It’s pretty cool!

      I have two stems in water with pothos cuttings and they both are starting to root!

      Mine took 4 months to start bulking up in the base, then 6 months for roots

      I’d remove all the leaves but 2-3 on each stem. Dip them in honey and put in soil.

      Plant the leaves the same way.

      A couple months. Put in a sunny spot and add a pothos cutting if you can.

      I water propped some and it took forever — I can’t remember how long as this has been a couple of years. But it was months. Not only that— after I planted them up, it has taken this whole time for them to start really growing and filling out, rather than just being stalks sticking out of the dirt. Finally starting to look a bit better now.

      Put them in a fish tank! Mine that had been in regular water for months shot out roots right away

      Mine took about 2 months to root in water! I never changed the water. It even got mushy on the end at one point but i just let it be and it eventually rooted.

      I just stuck mine directly in dirt. It lived that way for 2 years before it suddenly “died” overnight. I was so confused. Then 3 new shoots popped out of the soil. It’s been 4 years and now it’s a standard sized zz with 10 or so shoots.

      You can stick them straight into some soil if you keep it slightly moist for a little while. I have had much success doing it like this.

      Seedling heat mat, lots of light and patience. But the ‘adding pothos to the water ‘ trick is also helpful.

    18. C_Marjan on

      Change the water frequently. Mine took about 3 months to root, so it depends. What’s unfortunate is that it took a year and a half/2 years (after it rooted and was planted) to grow the new”stalks”.

      I’ve heard that you can buy rooting hormone and mix it in their water

    20. milksteaklover_123 on

      It took my zz plant cutting ~6 weeks to shoot roots in a water prop. I thought something was wrong but when they popped they POPPED

    21. AlastairWyghtwood on

      I’ve heard that you can root them with some pothos cuttings and they’ll root quicker because of the hormones they release?

    22. Excellent_Error_4755 on

      Hey OP, have you tried stratum?

      I started rooting these on 6/13 and I’m surprised how fast they took.
