With their heart-shaped, glossy leaves and easy going nature, it is only natural to want to propagate a philodendron. This charming houseplant belongs to the Araceae family and there are hundreds of varieties - many often confused with monsteras and even pothos plants.
Native to Central America and the Caribbean, philodendrons make beautiful indoor plants, and should you want to embrace their unique appeal at home, these are easy plants to grow from cuttings too. When propagating philodendrons, it is crucial that the mother plant is healthy. Taking cuttings from a plant that is not in good spirits is a common houseplant mistake to avoid. So if your philodendron is turning yellow for example, we would recommend you try to get to the root of the problem before propagation.
