Zamiokulkas breeding methods at home
Zamioculcas is a flower that will bring prosperity to the house, popularly called the dollar tree. How zamioculcas reproduces at home, what conditions are needed for this, you can read or watch a video. The main thing in reproduction is not to rush things, the development of roots has been going on for more than one month. At first, the plant gains a tuber, and only then begins to build up the green mass. Each next branch grows from a growing tuber.
Breeding conditions
All parts of the plant are poisonous. When working, you need to use gloves, and make sure that the pieces of the plant are not eaten by animals or children.
Other ways to get new plants are by rooting cuttings, leaves, or cut tubers. It must be borne in mind that any breeding method is long-term. Therefore, if germination takes place in water, then it should not sour. Germination substrate does not contain humus, sterile, steamed.
In the process of rooting, a nodule is formed due to the nutrients of the leaf or cutting. Therefore, by the time the first young leaf appears, the old part turns yellow and wrinkles. This is normal.
Rooting takes place in warmth and light. To prevent the ground part from evaporating moisture, a cap is created over the plant, sometimes the new plant is aired. Watered very sparingly, so that the water wets the ground only at the sides of the glass.
How to plant zamioculcas at home
If the flower has outgrown its dishes and the grower does not need new specimens, then the roots do not disturb. The pot is either cut or broken, the plant is removed and planted in a new container, slightly larger than the old one.
How to propagate zamioculcas at home when planting an adult plant? Place each tuber in a separate bowl. The soil is taken light and fertile. Add humus and expanded clay to the composition of equal parts:
- turf;
- leafy land;
- sand;
- peat.
It is only necessary to plant the plant in the spring in shallow pots, a quarter of the height of which is occupied by the drainage layer.
For transplantation, you can divide the bushes by carefully disassembling the intertwined roots, or you can cut the tuber. If there is more than one dormant bud on a tuber, it divides in half. Sections are dried, sprinkled with coal dust, planted in a small pot. You can water the ground for the first time in 3 days, a little.
Any transplanting and handling for a flower is stressful, and it takes time for it to regain its healthy appearance. Therefore, the flower grows until it deforms the pot. If you plant zamiokulkas in a large bowl until it is full, there will be no branch growth.
Reproduction of zamiokulkas by cuttings and leaves
As practice shows, it is easier to propagate zamiokulkas by leaf or cuttings. For this, you do not need to injure the plant with a transplant. A sharp knife can be used to separate one pinnately dissected stem. If you cut it into segments that have growth buds, then these are cuttings. The upper stalk may contain many leaf blades. And the higher the cutting, the more successful the rooting.
At home, zamioculcas multiplies both in water and in a special substrate. It is important that the tip of the petiole does not rot.For this, activated carbon or a fungicide is added to the water, which suppress the decay process. It takes a month or more before roots appear. Rooting can also be done in clean, wet sand or sphagnum moss.
Leaf blades for propagation are cut with a sterile instrument with a piece of the stem. They can root in water or directly in a sterilized substrate. Such rooting will last 2-6 months, you need to be patient until the nodules grow at the base of the leaf.
If the top of a leaf with several blades is planted, development will be faster. But then each sheet must be planted in a separate glass and provide a support. There should be a drainage layer in the dishes, an opening for draining water. The stalk is placed in an airtight bag or under a jar. Occasionally, the plant is ventilated, watered sparsely, along the walls of the vessel. And only when the first leaf appears, the shelter is removed.

Thank you for the video. I'm going to plant my broken branch of zamiokulkas.
Try not to bury the tuber much, can it start growing faster? I have tubers on the surface, a little sprinkled with bark and gives 10 stems a year. Growing wildly, I do not have time to transplant.
I think you water and spray too often. The nodules need tightness so that the shoots are thrown away and dryness. You can water once a month, once every two weeks.
Hello. Now it's December and my zameokulkas leaves have finally sprouted. Can they now be transplanted into a new land? After all, it's far from spring ... Or leave alone? They are in my glasses.
It depends on what kind of cups you have, very small or not. Although, in general, zamioculcas does not like too spacious dishes and grows shoots faster in a cramped pot. If the containers aren't exactly tiny, I would leave for now. In any case, you can always transplant young bushes at any time if they become cramped. It is not necessary to wait for spring, be guided by the state of your flowers.
Good day! You need to root some cut branches. I would not want to cut into several cuttings.
How better and faster will new branches appear: if you root a branch with a long lower tail (the growth bud will be high above the ground) or trim the tail so that the growth bud is right at the ground? thank
New branches will emerge from the nodule, which will take a long time to form anyway. Pruning a branch will not speed up this process, but in general, reproduction of a flower with a whole branch allows a young plant to establish a more developed tuber than when using leaves or cuttings.
Hello everyone! I want to share my experience of propagation of zamiokulkus leaf. Didn't cut anything, didn't sterilize any instrument. I pinched off 3 leaves with my hands. I put it in a transparent container with vermiculite and epin solution (diluted according to the instructions). Vermiculite is about 3 cm. I added water as it dries, there is a lot of water or solution so that there is where to root, but so that the leaves do not float. A month later (no more) such nodules have already appeared. Tomorrow I'm thinking of planting it in the ground.
Hello, please tell me, I began to propagate zamiokulkas with a leaf, after three months the leaf turned yellow and dried up, the tuber remained, can you save the flower?
Usually, a leaf grows a nodule after a month, after which it dries up. New leaves and shoots appear directly from the young tuber. Carefully remove your nodule from the pot and check to see if it is alive. A healthy live tuber should be firm and have roots. If it has dried up, unfortunately, nothing will grow from there.
And what about the further to be with the nodule, if it is whole and healthy? The leaf has dried up. Only a pea-sized nodule remained. A sprout sprouted from it, but very small. How to help?
Plant the nodule in a suitable soil in a small pot. The most important thing is not to flood it. To make the roots appear faster, dip the bottom of the nodule into the root or any other stimulator of root growth. Do not cover the sprout with soil, it is better to add more soil when it grows a little.
Hello! If the tuber is whole and with roots, I think it can plant it. When propagated by a leaf after the formation of a nodule, the leaf dies off.
Hello! Please tell me, my Zamioculcas does not grow well, often drops almost all the leaves, but new ones do not appear!
I take care of him, as expected, he is not flooded!
Tell me how to help a flower ?! What am I doing wrong
Something your flower lies heavily on its side, maybe it lacks light? The twigs are still too short to bend under their own weight. Try to change the land to him, at the same time and check the root system, whether everything is in order there. Treat with growth stimulants. And more - check the flower for pests.

Hello, please tell me at what point is it better to take it out of the water and plant it in the ground? He just cut it off and put it in the input, it has already given roots, but there is no tuber, I'm afraid so as not to rot the input.
And there is also a part from which he cut it off, seemingly not rotten and the leaves are normal, the tuber seems to be hard, but there are no roots. I pulled him out of the ground for the month of the puller and is still lying, but I noticed the remnants of the roots just dry up near the tuber, but does not give new roots! What would you advise to do in such a situation?
I would have already planted a twig in a nutritious substrate, because there are already roots, and it can grow nodules in the ground, especially since the risk of decay is less. As for the remaining tuber, so that it does not dry out at all, also root it in the soil and place it in a greenhouse to grow roots.
Good day! Tell me how to save a flower !? I threw out the young branches on the sides, and began to turn yellow in the center. They dug it up, cut the tuber in half, sprinkled it with activated carbon, transplanted it (drainage on the bottom + peat with sand). and then the branches of the zamioculcus began to shrink, became soft, and the leaves were sluggish. What should I do?
And why did you cut the tuber to multiply? This plant is generally very difficult to tolerate a transplant, especially in this way, and is also sensitive to the bay. Maybe they overdid it with watering, so it began to rot, or maybe it's just the post-transplant stress of the flower. Better, until everything is completely gone, root the leaves.
Hello! and became like a brain, on the other hand, gave a new sprout, which was, apparently, the reason for the yellowing of the old leaf. I cut them apart, put them in pots. The new shoot grows very slowly, but it grows. And the shriveled tuber sat in the pot unchanged for a long time, as a result, a month ago I took it out and put it in a jar of water and an asset. coal and Oh, Miracle !!! He gave 6 !! shoots in a circle, but NO roots !!! Now I don't know what to do with it, it's September on the street, soon it will have a dormant period, can it be planted without roots ????
In any case, you cannot leave it further in the water - it can rot. Root in the substrate, he will then grow roots there.
Thank you, I will land !!!!
if you cut a flower at the root, it will give a new growth
hello how to plant a tuber or how to cut it, can you cut it at all?
Why cut it? You have several wonderful, developed specimens. Although, if you want, you can cut it. But do not forget to dry the cut so as not to rot.
