How to successfully propagate a maranta and make your pot MORE FULL | EASY start to finish!

In this video I show you how to successfully propagate a maranta plant and make your pot more full. Maranta plants are really easy to propagate and it's an easy way to fill out the pot if you have bare spots! I show you from start to finish how to propagate, root and add back into the pot!

I'm still learning my new camera and editing software so the footage and audio may be off until I can practice and improve! :)

I find that my success ratio is 100% if, instead of transplanting the water-rooted cuttings straight into the large pot with the mother plant, I take them from water into a small pot of soil that I can keep moist, and once they have grown soil roots and new growth is developing at a good rate, THEN I transplant them around the mother plant to fill out the larger pot. This way, I don't have to worry if I'm overwatering the established plant in favor of keeping the rooted cuttings moist enough, or if on the contrary, I'm letting the cuttings dry too much and die, trying to not rot the original plant.

Well done video for beginners. My mother maranta is about 20 years old and 4 feet wide. This is the best method I've found for propagating and filling in OR making gifts for other plant lovers. My "mother" survived a move from MA to TX in November, riding in an unheated car we towed! Absolutely my favorite, don't tell her cousins.

Thanks to you I was able to propagate my red maranta from a single cutting. It is now getting nice and bushy and it’s even flowering. Thank you for your great videos

[dejah]

Thank you for the up close visuals. This video answered all my questions. Quick and straight to the point. Loved it

Your marantas are so gorgeous! Yes please on the care tips for marantas - I am just getting into growing marantas after falling in love with one I got on impulse for my office. I had always heard how fussy they cab be but mine is doing great so far. Of course I'm now addicted and want to buy more 😆

[LadyStace]

I recently started buying house plants and maranta's are my fave, it's looking pretty sparse but you've given me the confidence to try and propagate! I'd love to see more maranta vids from you :)

Thanks so much for this video! I just started getting into houseplants and I fell in love with Marantas. I want ALL of them! I got some leggy marantas from local shops and wondered what to do with them. Time to chop!

Melissa! I'm back to say that I took cuttings (for the first time) of a RED Maranta, and I'm shocked to see that it had roots after only 4 days in water! I had never seen a plant root that fast. They are not nubs, either, they are bona fide roots from 0.50 to 0.75 of an inch. Granted, I had these on a seedling heated mat that likely sped up the process, but still---I have a bunch many vessels full of other cuttings on the same mat, and none has gone this fast. What a great feeling!
