Multiplying plants is legal theft — and we’re here for it.
What It Means:
Some plants are ready to multiply — others make you work for it. This scale tells you how easy (or brutal) it is to propagate your plant. Whether you’re snipping stems, splitting roots, or robbing pups, this shows you what kind of hustle you’re in for.
Chop Prop :
Stem Cuttings – Snip, stick, root. Easy mode. 🧠 Pro Tip: This is cloning for beginners. Just cut below a node, toss it in water or soil, and let the roots do their thing. Monsteras, pothos, and tradescantia live here.
Root Hack:
Division Method – Split and conquer.
🧠 Pro Tip: Great for clumping plants like ZZs, ferns, or snake plants. Take the plant out, break it up at the roots, and repot each piece. Clean cut, new growth.
Baby Snatcher:
Offsets & Pups – Steal the babies. Grow your empire. 🧠 Pro Tip: Look for plants that self-replicate — haworthia, aloe, spider plants. Just yank the pup or offset, toss it in a pot, and watch it rise.
Leaf Hustle:
Leaf Cuttings – No node? No problem. Maybe. 🧠 Pro Tip: This is propagation’s gamble. Some plants like snake plant or begonia can sprout from just a leaf — no stem, no root node. But success depends on light, humidity, and a bit of luck. Don’t bet the farm on it.
Ready to Level Up??
Multiplication Method is baked into every Plant King care guide — because nothing hits like watching one plant turn into five.
Clone like a savage. And if you’re cutting, use soil that roots hard and drains right.
