Plants for on the windowsill
A plant on the windowsill avoids looking in and is very atmospheric. But not all plants are suitable. Which plants can be placed on your windowsill?
As a true plant lover you probably know the different ways to cut all your houseplants. At least, that’s what you think!
Sticks in water, or in soil. Of course we know (almost) all of these ways. But are you also familiar with cuttings in a mini greenhouse?
Not all your cuttings will survive the greenhouse method. It’s best to choose indoor plants that like humidity. Think for example of a fern, or choose another bathroom plant. Bathroom plants can withstand high humidity, and also enjoy a daily spray.
And now?
Get to work! Or are you disappointed by all the necessities? In any case we are not! It’s that easy in nature. A little moss, and moisture. The only thing you need besides that is a cutting you want to take. Oh, and a plant sprayer or water pollinator of course. You can read why you need that below!
First of all, put an old towel on the floor near a tap, or on the sink.
You propagate a palm by separating the different shoots from each other. Remove the mother plant from its pot and then put the roots of the plant on the old towel. This keeps any damage to a minimum.
The most important thing is not to tear or cut the roots of the shoots.
It is best to rinse the root ball under a running tap. Of course don’t turn on the tap full.
If all goes well the roots will come loose because of the running water. If possible, take the entangled roots apart.
As soon as you have taken the roots apart and gone from one houseplant to two or more, you can repot. Make sure that the roots are very sensitive after rinsing and disassembling.
Have you repotted the cuttings? Then it is important to find a light spot for them. It is also necessary to give them more water than normal. With water you stimulate the roots to attach themselves to the soil.
