Hiii!!! Today, I'm sharing tips on how to propagate Heart leaf Philodendron! This plant actually thrives on neglect. Its leaves happily dangle or climb wherever they can. But for best results, you might want to follow the simple method I have summarized about how to propagate Heartleaf Philodendron​. Let's dive in!

• Cut Off a Branch

  Propagating heart leaf philodendron​ starts by cutting the mother plant's branch. Some good, healthy stems with a few leaves are perfect. Further, it is recommended that the length of the cuttings should be at least six inches. As a side note, it's important to remove the leaves from the cuttings to prevent rotting.

  

• Fill the Pot

  The next step is to fill the pot with potting mix to about an inch below the rim. From my experience, moistening the potting mix with water is essential to help the cuttings settle. Then, gently poke a hole a few inches deep in the soil for each cutting. This gives the cuttings room to root well.

• Set the Cuttings in the Pot

  When you plant the cuttings into pots, make sure each cutting is placed in the soil with the nodes (where the leaves were removed) just below the surface. I find this ensures the cuttings can start developing roots properly. Use your fingers to pat the soil around each cutting to hold it in place over time. It provides the stability needed for the Heartleaf Philodendron to thrive.

  

• Track the Progress of the Cuttings

  Place the pot in a humid and warm place with bright indirect light. I think you should keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.

  After a few weeks, gently pull the cutting. If you feel resistance, the cutting is rooted. Another sign you should look for is new leaf growth. It indicates that your cuttings are thriving.

• Additional Tip

  After propagating, you should still keep an eye on the progress of your Heartleaf Philodendrons. If they look like they need more space and their roots are at least 1 inch long, it's time to repot.

  You can choose a pot that is at least two inches bigger than the current one. Move the plant slowly and use a new potting mix to provide plenty of room for the roots. By the way, remember to water your houseplant often to keep it growing happy.

• Heartleaf Philodendron Cutting in Water​

  How to propagate your Heartleaf Philodendron in water? The process is pretty much the same as before, but here's the difference: place your cuttings in a glass or jar and add enough water to submerge all the leaf nodes.

  This method does give you a clear view of the roots as they form. Once the roots are ready, you can transfer your cuttings into a pot with fresh potting mix to complete the process.
