Hello, I’m completely new to propagating and would like some help. This stem came straight out of my zz plant, am I doing this right and how do I maintain it? Thanks for any help ☺️

I have a similar propagation station (as I like to call it) and have grown very rooty and healthy ZZs :) I bet the lil guy will do great! Good luck

Thank you!! Does it need to have roots to start with or can it just kinda look like a bulb at first?

#### Bee replied on 2024-05-12

The roots will come with propagation :) if it already has adequate roots I would just plant it
