How to Propagate Aroids Like a Pro

Aroids such as Monstera, Philodendron, and Anthurium are among the most rewarding plants to propagate. Their thick stems and aerial roots make them ideal candidates for cuttings that root quickly with the right tools.

Step 1: Take a Proper Cutting

Cut just below a node with a sterilized pair of scissors or shears. Include at least one healthy leaf and one aerial root or node to ensure successful rooting.

Step 2: Apply Rooting Gel with a Q Tip

Apply Clonex Rooting Gel gently to the cut end using a Q tip. This delivers rooting hormones exactly where they are needed while keeping your gel sterile and uncontaminated.

Step 3: Root in the Right Medium

Place your cutting into Aroid Mix, a chunky blend that provides excellent airflow and moisture retention. It prevents waterlogging while allowing roots to grow thick and healthy.

Step 4: Feed and Hydrate

Water your cutting with CCS Clonex Clone Solution diluted according to the label. This nutrient blend strengthens cell walls and keeps new roots hydrated.

Step 5: Transplant and Support

Once your cutting develops roots about five centimeters long, transplant into a larger pot of Aroid Mix. Water with Root Zone to promote branching and prevent stress during the move.

Propagating aroids is easy once you have the right method. Using Aroid Mix, Clonex products, and Root Zone gives you the consistency professionals rely on for perfect results.
