How to Propagate ZZ Plants from Leaf CuttingsZamioculcas zamiifolia, or the ZZ plant for short, is an ideal houseplant for beginner gardeners. It can thrive without a lot of light or water, and it is easy to propagate and share.

ZZ plants are typically started from leaf cuttings, which means you can create many new plants from a single parent.
Continue reading for instructions. Here’s what we’ll cover:
Propagating ZZ plants from leaves is incredibly easy, and since it requires only a single leaf cutting per cloned start, this method makes it easy to avoid damaging the parent plant.
The only downside is that this process can be slow, so patience is key!
While it is also possible to start new ZZ plants by dividing and separating the rhizomes, this method is not recommended, as doing this may cause significant damage to the parent.
Taking CuttingsStart by picking a leaf from a mature stalk, and snip it with as much of the petiole attached as possible.
Since this method takes a long time to produce results, and not all cuttings may take, it is a good idea to cut several at once to increase your chances of success.
Once you have cut a few leaves, let them sit out for an hour or two to allow the cut ends to callus over. This should help to protect them from rotting.
If you prefer, it is also possible to take stem cuttings. The main downside is that you can only take a few at once or you risk harming the parent plant.
To do this, cut a few inches off the top of a mature stem, with at least two leaves attached. You can root stems in a similar manner to leaf cuttings, following the instructions below.
