Cuttings are small pieces of a plant, typically a stem or leaf, that can be used to grow a new plant. This method of propagation is popular because it allows gardeners to create new plants from existing ones without needing seeds. By placing the cuttings in soil or water, they can develop roots and eventually grow into healthy plants. Many houseplants, like pothos and succulents, can be easily propagated using cuttings. This technique not only saves money but also helps preserve specific plant varieties. With a little patience and care, anyone can enjoy the satisfaction of growing new plants from cuttings.
