Chinese evergreen thrives when propagated through the cutting method. For optimal results, select a healthy, non-flowering stem and cut a 4-6 inch section. Use a sharp, sterilized knife to make the cut just below a node, and remove the lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist soil mix. Cover with a plastic bag to maintain humidity and place in indirect light. Roots typically develop in a few weeks, after which the plastic can be removed and chinese evergreen can be cared for as usual.
