ZZ plant propagation?
I got this awesome #ZzPlant for my birthday, but she unfortunately has a couple of small broken stems :(
they’re not snapped on the outside, just on the inside. Is it possible for me to snip off the broken stems at/slightly above the breakage and propagate? Is the smaller one too small to do so with? Should I just remove and discard? I have the breakage points circled in the attached photos so it’s easier to see. Thanks in advance! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #PlantCorner #PlantShelfie #HappyPlants #help #helpneeded #zzcuttings

@Uzi Yes it is possible. That is exactly what I did with mine. I cut the stem off, dipped it in rooting powder and stuck it right back in the same pot. If you don’t have rooting powder, you can use cinnamon which will keep it from getting bacteria from the cut. Also one you cut your Zz back, it promotes new growth at the base of the plant. I’ve got a new shoot coming up finally after cutting mine.
@Shells_Garden Thank you!
