Larger Zamioculcas can be best shared

Successfully multiplying Zamioculcas

The attractive houseplant Zamioculcas zamiifolia or lucky feather can easily reproduce vegetatively. There are various options for this, all of which have a high success rate. In the vegetative propagation is an asexual form of propagation, in which the offspring of individual parts of the plant and thus the mother plant on his hair is similar - after all, it is basically just a clone of the same.

Sharing Zamioculcas in spring

Multi-engined plants like the Zamioculcas can be easily shared, provided the plant is large enough.

Separate the offshoot and plant

In addition to the main shoot, Zamioculcas often produce whole young plants, the so-called offshoots. To allow them to quickly develop into vigorous specimens, separate them from the mother plant in spring or summer and place them separately in fresh containers with fresh substrate. Basically, you act the same way as you do with a division of the Lucky Feather.

Cut leaf cuttings

Zamioculcas is also very easy to grow over leaf cuttings, which are simply inserted into substrate. The best time for this measure is the spring or early summer.

In order to accelerate tuber and root formation, the cuttings should always be placed warm and humid. A transparent plastic hood, which is easily slipped over, will serve you well. For this purpose, freezer bags are very good, which are positioned with the help of support rods over the pot so that they do not touch the plant. But even cut-off PET bottles are ideal for this purpose. Choose a bright but not directly sunny location (for example, on a windowsill). Now it is time to wait, because it may well take half a year for the planted leaf to become rooted. Keep the substrate slightly damp during this time.

Tips

You can also dip the freshly cut cuttings into a rooting hormone before planting, which promotes rooting.
