How to Propagate Aglaonema Commutatum Variegata

Below is how to reproduce the ornamental plant Aglaonema commutatum variegata :
  • Split the seeds. Separation of seeds is the easiest way to do it. Aglaonema seeds that have 3-5 leaves are ready to be separated from their parents. Also make sure, at that age, the tillers have at least 5 roots. By having lots of roots, Aglaonema plants will be strong enough to be independent.
  • Grafting is the safest way of propagating because of the low risk of death. With grafts, no part of the ornamental plant is injured. The method is quite easy. Grease the aglaonema stems with shoot-stimulating hormone, then attach a small pot around the stem to accommodate the media. As a result, roots on the stem will appear about 3-4 weeks later.
  • Stem cuttings without leaves. Slice the stem to the length of the cutting depending on your preference. You can slice one segment, two segments, three segments, or more. At least, at least in one segment, there is one bud. The longer the space cut, the faster the shoots and roots will form.
