Choose a healthy ZZ plant with mature stems
Remove the plant from its pot if dividing the rhizomes
Separate the rhizomes so each section has roots and at least one stem
Plant each division in a pot with well-draining soil
Water lightly after potting
Place in bright, indirect light
Keep soil slightly dry between waterings
Cut a healthy stem near the base if propagating by stem cutting
Let the cut end dry for a few hours
Place the stem cutting in water or moist well-draining soil
Change water regularly if using water propagation
Keep the cutting in warm, bright, indirect light
Wait for roots and new growth before potting up
Remove a healthy leaflet if propagating by leaf cutting
Let the cut end dry briefly
Insert the leaflet into moist well-draining soil
Keep the soil lightly moist, not wet
Place in bright, indirect light
Wait patiently for rhizomes and roots to form
Use a pot with drainage holes
Avoid overwatering
Use a cactus or succulent-style potting mix
Keep propagation tools clean and sharp
Be patient, since ZZ plants root slowly
