How To Propagate Philodendron Campii Lynette

The growth points are really close to each other, so you need to be really careful with a sharp knife to get a cutting with a node. You might need to take it out of it’s pot and shake some soil off to get a clearer view of the nodes. Then cut off the end cutting at the node.
You can then let the wound callous over for an hour. Then root it in water for a month or so, keeping it in medium to bright in direct sunlight. Then once rooted, plant it up in soil.
