For finicky varieties like roses or hibiscus, I always use pure river sand because it stays airy and prevents fungal growth, allowing the roots to develop safely before you transplant them into soil. ### How to Start Propagating Propagating is the easiest way to grow your collection for free, but it takes a little patience. Whether you are working with a balcony in a small Mumbai flat or a bungalow garden, the science is the same: providing the right conditions for the plant to create new roots. **Water vs. Soil Propagation** * **Water:** Perfect for beginners. Plants like Money Plant and Betel Leaf (Paan) thrive here. Just ensure you change the water every 10-15 days to keep oxygen levels high. * **Soil/Sand:** Better for woody stems like Roses or Hibiscus. Sand provides the drainage these cuttings need to avoid rot. **The 'Secret' Gyaan for Success** * **The Cut:** Always cut just below a node (the bump on the stem where leaves emerge). This is where the root hormones are most active. * **Moisture Control:** Mumbai’s monsoon humidity is your best friend. It keeps the atmosphere damp, which prevents cuttings from drying out before they root. * **Anti-Fungal Hack:** Dip your cuttings in a bit of turmeric (haldi) or aloe vera gel before planting. It is a natural, affordable alternative to chemical rooting hormones that prevents soil fungus. **Common Questions I Get:** * **'Can I propagate everything?'** Most common houseplants, yes. Fruit trees like Mango require grafting, which is more advanced but definitely doable at home. * **'Why is my leaf turning yellow?'** You might be overwatering or using soil that is too compact. If you have any trouble, send me a photo; I can usually tell you what is wrong instantly. Don't warry, I'm hare to help. If you're stuck, just ask. ## About House of Garden My name is Anirudh from House of Garden. I believe that if you have a patch of soil or a balcony, you have a garden waiting to happen.
