How can we spread poverty or poverty from cuttings?

Poverty-in-pot, also known as water poverty, is a popular indoor plant for its ease of maintenance and its ability to spread easily from cuttings. Here is a detailed guide on how to spread this plant and add greenery to your home:

1. Preparation of cuttings:

Start by selecting a healthy mother plant for cuttings. Choose unlined stems and cut them just below a knot using clean, sharp scissors.

2. Rooting in water:

Place the cuttings in a clean glass of water, make sure that only the knots are immersed. Change the water regularly to avoid the formation of bacteria and make sure the cuttings get enough natural light.

3. Expectation and observation:

The roots of your cuttings will begin to form in a few weeks. Monitor the rooting process carefully and ensure that cuttings remain healthy throughout this process.

4. Transplantation into soil:

Once the roots have developed sufficiently, you can transplant the cuttings into a mixture of light and well drained soil. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to avoid water build-up.

5. Maintenance of cuttings:

  • Place the new plants in a bright place but away from the direct sun.
  • Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Fertilize plants once a month to promote healthy growth.
  • Pinch the young shoots regularly to promote branching.

By following these simple steps, you will be able to easily spread the misery-in-pot or the misery of water from cuttings and enjoy their beauty in your inner space.
