What are some plants that you can grow from clippings?

I am a relativly new gardener and have just started to grow clippings in water (only african violet, spider, and some other sort of viny house plant). but i want a little more veriaty. so i was wondering what are some other plants that do well when clipped. thanks!!!

What are some plants that you can grow from clippings?
Easily grown plants from cuttings would include English ivy, goldfish plants, wandering jew, pothos, crown of thorns, swedish ivy, prayer plant, brugmansia.



Most anything viney is really easy to grow from cuttings. Other plants you can easily grow from dividing baby plants from mother plants.



As soon as your little plants start to show rootbuds switch them into potting mix, before they grow long water roots. Water roots will rot in soil and your cuttings have to grow soil roots to survive and thrive in a pot.



Good luck with your gardening :)

Reply:Also, if you find something that you want to root, but it doesn't seem to be rooting in water, you can get a rooting hormone ($6) and that will do it. Passion flower is GREAT indoor vine that is lush, fast growing with lots of amazing flowers, that can only be rooted with a hormone. Report It
Reply:Morning glory is another one but beware, it really wanders and Ajuga is another one! This one really travels especially from my neighbor's yard! In fact I'm fixing to kill what's in my yard! Report It
Reply:I know that if you find a freshly cut branch then you can put it in water, inside, and watch it grow its buds. But you need to add root fertilizer. My mom just tried a little while ago and it worked. Shes now growing a small tree that will get bigger. Report It
Reply:You would be surprised at some of the plants you can root.I do it all the time.Just take a clipping, put it in water and wait to see. Report It
Reply:my plants that have water roots when get planted flourish.. so i don't know what Chicken in Black is talking about that they might not survive.. because that's the only way I've ever done it, and I've got 4th generation plants potted while first growing 3 inch long water roots first Report It
