No problem with these methods

Multi-shoot plants like that Zamioculcas can be easily divided as long as the intended plant is large enough.

• Pot the plant at the end of the rest period.
• This is usually the case in early spring.
• Separate the root ball into two or more pieces.
• You may need a knife to help you do this.
• Each section must have healthy roots and at least one strong shoot.
• Put the so divided plants individually in fresh substrate.
• Complete!

Often in the Zamioculcas, in addition to the main shoot, complete young plants, the so-called offshoots, emerge all by themselves. So that these can quickly develop into strong specimens, separate them from the mother plant in spring or summer and place them separately in new containers with fresh substrate. Basically, you proceed in the same way as if you split the lucky feather.

Cut leaf cuttings

Zamioculcas can also be propagated very well using leaf cuttings, which are simply inserted into the substrate. The best time for this measure is spring or the early summer.

• To do this, pluck as large a leaflet as possible.
• You can cut it off too, but then it won't root as well.
• Choose a leaf from the lower or middle area of ​​the leaf vein.
• Fill up Growing pots(€ 16.68 at Amazon *) with Potting soil or a mixture of Potting soil and sand.
• Now insert the leaf cuttings with the cut side down.
• The leaves should be about two inches deep in the soil.
• Plant the leaves individually or in groups in a pot.

In order to accelerate the formation of tubers and roots, the cuttings should always be kept warm and humid. A transparent plastic cover, which is simply pulled over, does a good job. Freezer bags are very suitable for this, which are positioned with the help of support rods above the pot so that they do not touch the plant. But cut-off PET bottles can also be used excellently for this purpose. Choose a bright, but not directly sunny location (for example on a window sill). Now you have to wait, because it can take half a year for the planted leaf to take root. During this time you hold the substrate always slightly damp.
