Now obviously, there is a bit more to it. But these are so incredibly easy to propagate that it really isn’t much more difficult than that.
Case in point: the first time I propagated my Swiss cheese plant in water was entirely accidental.
I had taken some cuttings from my unruly, overgrown plant and put them in a vase for a display for my book club that was about to meet at my house. I planned to toss them out when the shindig was over, but they looked good and I decided to see how long they would last in their vase.
I finally went to throw them out a few weeks later but they were still as perky as ever. When I looked inside the vase, I saw lots and lots of roots.

Fast forward a few years and my house is an absolute Swiss cheese plant jungle. I give rooted cuttings away as gifts. I’m in danger of having to put a “free to a good home” sign on my porch.
