Arrowhead Plants grow fast, get dense, and at some point will need pruning. They have thick, soft stems that tend to get heavy with foliage at the ends as they age. Arrowhead Plant propagation is easy and there are 2 simple ways to do it by taking stem cuttings.

Make sure 2-3 nodes are covered by water or the mix. Take the cuttings at the desired length just below a node. You want to make sure the stems are long enough so at least 2 or 3 nodes can go in the water or mix. Make sure your pruners are clean & sharp before taking the cuttings. You don’t want to make jagged cuts. Remove some bottom leaves from each stem.

That little brown bump I’m pointing at is a node. You’ll see them up & down the stems. The roots will emerge from it.

The roots of an Arrowhead Plant are very strong so you could use potting soil with a bit of added pumice or perlite added in or succulent & cactus mix

For cuttings in water change the water every 5-7 days to freshen. The cuttings in the succulent & cactus mix get watered every 4-5 days. You don’t want the mix to dry out.
