1️⃣ leaf cuttings in soil⠀⠀
➡️No need to wait for the leaves to callus, start propagating right away.⠀⠀
➡️Insert a leaf in soil. You can pot 4 leaves in one 4 inch diameter pot. Cover the pot with a transparent plastic bag, to keep humidity high, or don't use a bag, but keep the soil moist at all times. You want humidity between 50% and 95%⠀⠀
➡️For best results, the temperature should be between 24C and 32C (75.F-89.6F) and light between 5,000 and 10,000 lux. In about 4 weeks you should see a small rhizome forming at the end of the leaf.⠀⠀
➡️ZZs are super easy to propagate. Even in commercial ZZ production, no rooting hormone is used⠀⠀
⠀
2️⃣ leaf cuttings in water⠀⠀
➡️put the leaf in water⠀⠀
➡️replace water once a week or as soon as it gets dirty⠀⠀⠀
➡️light and temperature the same as for soil propagation⠀⠀

3️⃣stem cuttings in soil⠀⠀
➡️you can pot 3-5 stems in one 4-6 inch pot⠀⠀
➡️same guidance on temperature, humidity and light⠀⠀
➡️however, stem cuttings offer no advantage over leaf cuttings, because they take more time to grow rhizomes. This is because rhizomes will start forming only after the whole cut surface has been covered by callus tissue, which depends on the diameter of the stem and can take more than a month⠀⠀

4️⃣ stem cuttings in water⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️same as leaf water propagation⠀⠀⠀
