Taking Cuttings from a Large Split-Leaf Philodendron

Wait for Spring Growth

Cuttings root best from fresh, tender spring growth. Wait until the plant produces new shoots after winter.

Cutting Procedure

1. Select a 6+ inch tender shoot; avoid woody stems.
2. Remove lower leaves.
3. Dip in rooting hormone.
4. Plant 1 inch deep in moist potting mix.
5. Cover with clear plastic; place in indirect light.
6. Check for roots in 2 weeks; remove cover once rooted.

Aftercare

Keep soil moist but not soggy. Gradually introduce to brighter light. Pot up as needed.
