I have been taking cuttings from some of the houseplants to root and make more of. So far, I have cutings of pelargonium, pepperomia, ivy, and saintpaulia.
I have used root hormone with the pelargonium, then placed the cuttings in damp soil mix and covered with a bag for humidity. I will watch for too much moisture (rot) and lift bag accordingly. It should take about 2 weeks for roots to form.
The pepperomia and ivy I have placed some directly into soil and some in a cup of water to root. I will check them in a few weeks to see the progression.
Saintpaulia needs a little more work. I have that listed elsewhere in the blog under the label houseplants.
