Aglaonema Plants
Chinese evergreens, a group comprising 21 to 24 different species and over 50 varieties, cultivars, and hybrids, are a popular choice as indoor plants. These plants are native to regions spanning from China to Australia, with the Philippine evergreen (Aglaonema commutatum) being particularly common.
The only downside to owning these plants is that they can be addictive, and one may never be enough! However, instead of purchasing another aglaonema of the same type you already have, consider propagating the one you own. Not only will this save you money, but it can also boost the overall health of your plant when performed correctly and at the right time.

Propagating Aglaonema from Stem Cuttings and Branches
Here are the step-by-step instructions for Growing Aglaonema from Stem Cuttings and Branches.
Materials:
- Sharp pruners
- Clean scissors
- Well-draining soil
- Pot
- Existing healthy Aglaonema plant
Steps:
- Use sharp pruners to cut 5-6 inches-long healthy branches from the existing Aglaonema plant.
- Remove the lower leaves from the cut branches, leaving only the top two foliage leaves.
- Use clean scissors to cut the top, including two leaves, into two separate pieces.
- Repeat this process with other branches.
- Fill a pot with well-draining soil. Place the cut branches on top of the soil, pressing one side of the branch tip into the soil.
- Place the pot in bright indirect light.
- Wait for approximately 30-45 days, during which roots and shoots will begin to appear on the cuttings.
- You can plant the rooted branches separately in individual pots filled with good-quality, well-draining potting soil!
