What are some house plants you can take piece of and make another plant fro me?
You can propagate africa violets the same as geraniums. I recommend using some root hormone powder with them.





You can also try growing a pineapple from the tops, avocado tree from the pit, jade plant from a cutting, and dieffenbachia.





Good luck!
Reply:Geraniums are very easy to propogate. Just break off several pieces and pit into potting mix or in garden beds.
Reply:Lots of things root in water and will live happily there for months:


Begonia, impatiens, cyperus (all), gardenia, geranium, apostle plant, emerald plant, pansies, rose of sharon, pothos, philodendron, elephant ear, wandering jew (all), thyme, lemon grass, lots and lots. When in doubt, plunk it in water. You can also use rootone (rooting hormone), place in a pot, put pot in a zip-type plastic bag. When you see new leaves, you have roots.





Have fun.
Reply:Philodendrons, ivy, spider plants, christmas cactus, wandering jew and pothos can all be rooted in water from cuttings. Just be sure to plant them in potting soil before the roots get longer than a half inch. If you allow them to get too long, they become accustomed to living in water and take a really long time to grow in soil.
