Anthurium propagates most reliably by division of established clumps, since stem cuttings need a visible aerial root or node to succeed — a bare leaf stalk alone won’t grow.
Division
Remove from pot, separate natural clumps with roots and stems attached, pot individually.
Stem cutting
Cut a section including a node or aerial root, root in moist, well-draining mix with high humidity.
When to propagate
Spring and summer.
Common problems
Cutting rotted. Too wet — use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix.
