It's an aroid, easy to propagate, as long as you cut between the nodes and make sure you have at least one node on the part you want to propagate. The Birkin is hard because the nodes are very close together. You did pretty good, but it is a hard plant to locate nodes. I would have used small pruning scissors rather than a knife. I also would have cut the nodes off prior to repotting. But that is wear tiny pruning scissors makes it easier. I would water propagate first, as I find they do so much better that way. You said that at the end of the video. Soil can cause more rotting before more roots can come in. So you are learning and did a great job. It is a hard plant to do that to.
Thanks so much. I was so nervous to do it. I’m so happy with how the propagations are doing. I’m getting ready to post a follow up video on how they are progressing in the next day or two. Just editing it now 👍
Thank you as well for watching. I was pretty scared to do it as this Birkin is my favorite houseplant I own but so far they are looking good I think I did I correctly and my 3 plants are doing well 👍
Yes it is actually linked down in this videos description box. I recently did a video showing my soil mixture. Hopefully that helps you to see what I do. But if you watch that and still have any questions please let me know 👍
I had no idea that was how to propagate a Birkin!! I don’t have one yet, but it’s on my wishlist… this was so cool to watch!! Thank you for sharing!! 💜💚🪴
Ah thank you so much! I’ve had mine for about 6 months now and it’s grown a lot but my new leaves are struggling so I knew it was time either get a new pot or… I noticed mine has a loooooot of nodes and I’m absolutely going to replant it now that I know I can cut it from the mother plant 😍
Oh my goodness I understand your nervousness 😂 I want to propagate my own but I'm so scared to damage the pla t having to cut so "in the middle" of it!
@@theplantingbug2045 So glad it went well! I'm not sure if mine is as far ahead as yours, but it is looking pot-bound. We'll see, you made it seem so simple
Welp, I didn't do it like that. I just pulled the small sections away from the mother, being careful not to damage the roots. Placed the mother and babies in separate pots. Now they are all wilting and yellowing. The other videos I watched didn't show to do it this way. Wish I had seen this video sooner. 🤦🏾♀️
Hmm we have to be careful before we cut from the mother plant. . BTW how old is ur plant. I too have it but still I feel give it some time to grow bigger before propagating pl.let me know
Hi there. This plant is probably about 5 years old. When I bought it, it was an established plant already and was very root bound. So I am hoping the propagations will turn out well. We will see, I will definitely keep you updated. 💚🌱. Wish me luck!

I might have used a sharp exacto knife for a cleaner slice, but was happy to watch how it all worked.
I have never seen anyone propagate a Birkin. Wow! Now I wanna buy more Birkin. Thank you! I have a reverted Birkin but need the varigated one.

@@theplantingbug2045 wow! may i know your mix soil ?

You have beautiful plants over all. I just ordered my first birkin and I can’t wait to add it to my collection.🤩
Yay! You will love it! They are absolutely gorgeous plants. I’m excited for you.
Complicated propagation 👍🏿
It was I was sweating. Lol

You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Let’s hope they turn out good I’ll keep you updated on the progress.
@@theplantingbug2045 Yes! Please do! 😊💜💚🪴
It’s grown so much since your first Birkin video! I’m so excited for you! Mine is still quite small but it’s getting there.
It was growing like crazy. That is why I decided to propagate it. So far the propagations look good!! Thank you. Good luck with yours.
Love this❤ video
Thank you!!

It was scary for sure. But my cuttings I did are actually doing very well so I am happy with the results.

Mine was a bit root bound as well but seems to be doing fine after I repotted it. Good luck with yours 👍
