The process of ZZ propagation can be a LONG one! #plantcare #zzplant #propagation

[PlantswithKrystal]

It’s not impossible but gosh dang it, this tested every once of patience I have. This one has roots but those roots are still too short to get into soil. I’ll wait until I have at least 1-2 inches.

You can propagate ZZ’s through stem, leaves, and through division but do know that ZZ’s and snake plants are the absolute slowest to root.

I changed water every week and kept near a window during the propagation process.

How long does it take for you plant to propagate? There’s no way to truly give a definite answer, usually a couple weeks, but some are definitely much longer than others.

You know why I love your videos? I feel satisfied after one, because I don't have to wait for the next part. Many shorts now are divided into parts, even though the process doesn't take a lot of time. This video took you 5 months to complete, and it's not divided. I really appreciate it❤

I did leaf propagation with my ZZ plant. Took me a year, but hey I like a challenge.😊

[lunahalder]

Mine grew roots after exactly 20 days. I am so happy !! Thankyou Crystal !!

new to this whole plant side of youtube and i gotta say, this comment section is the most supportive section of the internet ive ever come across. Nothing like plants to bring people together, for anyone that needs to hear it, im rooting for you!

I’ve had great success rooting both stems and leaves in perlite under a grow light! I treated them just like the mother plant and let the perlite completely dry out before I watered them again. They are 3 months old now with about 2” roots and lovely rhizomes! I’m about to pot them up!

I unalived my zz plant so I had to clip many cuttings in order to give myself a second chance at this zz. It’s been 3-4 months & I’m patiently waiting :-)

I bought a raven zz 2 years ago. I broke it down and reported it into 5 different plants and it won't stop making new babies!! I have so much new growth all the time

[Ashloumaly]

I legit said, "ooo I gotta try that...oop maybe not" I'm not patient enough for that😂

[hanna_maria]

I did this! My friends cat broke off a piece of hers and I didn’t have a ZZ yet so I took it home in january and put it in water. Now it’s got loads of roots and made a bulb too! Hoping i can transfer it to soil soon but I’m scared 😂

I've propagated leafs in my little soil prop bin thats on a heat mat...In a month, they already have roots and little rhizomes growing.

[tachish]

I’ve found that ZZs do really well in perlite. Also each leaf stem can propagate on its own.

[karlareyes]

I'm so so happy because mine took 3 weeks to root 😊❤

[fictionallyflawless]

I propogated 1 stem in coco coir and after 9 months 3 new shoots were coming out❤

[nicamanda]

I can’t recommend using stratum enough for ZZ cuttings! What used to take 4-5 months to make the tiniest rhizome, game me quarter sized rhizomes in 2 months or less 😭

[pipeclogger]

Krystal you're so funny! Can you make a video about how to accommodate for a trailing plant like Purple heart? ❤

[jodilea]

I started one almost that exact size on April 16th of this year and it already has a few roots about an inch and a half long and is developing its “potatoes”. I started adding a couple of drops of Super Thrive to the water each week as I changed it out and it’s doing really well. I also started some with just leaves, via the styrofoam disk method made popular on here and they are doing well too. They have only been in water for just over a month and they have tiny roots starting to emerge. 🙂

A branch of the ZZ plant of a colleague in the office got broken by mistake and I took this branch and out it in water. I can confirm that it tool ages to get roots, but it also too ages to grow after I plated it. There was no chenge like forever and suddenly there were new branches comming out. Now this plant is huge and needs repotting again. :D

I appreciate my various tradescantia, they propagate in no time at all and make me feel like I'm doing great lmao

[MsKendra]

I'm propagating one now. It's taking a while but I have another one I propagated and it didn't take that long to root, maybe about 3 weeks. I use root hormone.
