Propagate your hanging plants in 2025

In 2025, propagation is more popular than ever — and for good reason! It’s one of the most rewarding ways to expand your collection and share your love for plants with others. If your hanging plants have grown long, lush vines that flow beautifully through your home, why not give them a little trim and create new life from them?

Propagating hanging plants is simple, sustainable and incredibly satisfying. It’s the perfect way to refresh your plants, make thoughtful gifts for friends, or fill your space with even more greenery — all without spending a cent.

Before you start cutting, make sure your plant is in top shape. A healthy mother plant should have vibrant leaves, strong stems, and no signs of pests or disease. If your plant is thriving and growing happily, it’s the perfect candidate for propagation.

So grab your shears, prepare your propagation jars, and let’s dive into how to multiply your hanging beauties in 2025!

Propagating hanging plants through stem cuttings

A stem cutting is a cutting with a piece of stem with leaves attached. The stem cutting should have 2-3 leaves, which allows the cutting to produce enough energy for itself to be able to grow further. It’s necessary to clean your shears before making the cut. Dirty tools will rub dirt or harmful microorganisms into the wounds of the plant. This can harm your cuttings and the mother plant. Not something we would want to happen. Let’s go through the process step by step.

Cutting the hanging plant

Choose a piece of stem from which you would like to produce a propagation. If you have a very long piece of stem, you can cut this into multiple cuttings. The top cutting will probably grow a bit faster than the middle cuttings. But nevertheless, you can make as many as your mother plant allows. :)

Choose a substrate for the hanging cutting

Choose a substrate that works well for you. Water is one of the most used substrates to root propagations in. Not only is it already available for you in your house, but it also shows your developing roots. This way you can keep a close eye on them. Another commonly used substrate is sphagnum moss. This substrate can hold water like a champ, which makes sure it doesn’t dry out quickly. Which is exactly what your cutting wants when developing roots. There are many other substrates, which all have their own ability. Experiment with what works for you.

Placement for the hanging plant cutting

Choose the right spot for your cuttings to grow in. Different plants have different light requirements. Try to meet these requirements, to give your cuttings everything they need to make them successful. You can also meet the requirements they have regarding temperature. Tropical houseplants like to stay warm and cosy afterall. Also heighten the humidity that is up to the standards of your specific plant. This way you are trying your best to create the best environment for fragile growing cuttings, this will be definitely rewarded because it heightens the chance of getting successful hanging plant cutting, woohoo!

Growing the hanging plant cutting

Patience is key. It might be hard, but it can take a while before your cutting roots, if it roots at all. Sometimes rot can be an issue with cuttings. You will see a mushy brown part. You can cute this back, to where the stem looks healthy. Make sure not to cut in or above the node. The node is necessary for the plant to grow beyond the leaves it has now. If everything goes well, you will see roots develop within a few weeks. Once these are about 10 centimetre long, it can be transferred to a regular cutting soil that is suitable for your specific hanging plant.
