Plant Propagation

Birds of paradise rescue!


Here's a revised version of your Reddit post:


Hey everyone! I'm new here and I'm seeking some expert advice on how to save a bunch of botched Strelitzia Reginae stem cuttings.

My neighbours attempted to divide their Strelitzia plants, but it didn’t go as planned. Instead of splitting them with some roots attached, they ended up pulling off just the tops, leaving the root systems behind. There's quite a bit of healthy material, but it was all removed just above where the roots meet the stem.

I had a similar experience with an arum lily—I accidentally damaged it and just stuck the top part with the leaves in the ground. Surprisingly, it survived and even propagated. I know these are very different plants, but I'm hoping there's a chance I can save these Strelitzia stems. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Im thinking, get some rooting hormone, cut 70% of the leaves and all the flowers, plants the stem relatively deep and keep the soil moist for a few weeks?
