I love my Schefflera! Bought it on clearance a few years ago.I love how the light reflects on it by my front window. If you are not a plant/garden person, but enjoy the beauty of a real house plant, this is a good one to have. It does not require a lot of attention and gardening skills to survive. Thanks for the video!
Love this plant. Purchased one in a 4in. pot when I got new position to sit on my desk. 20 plus years later and retired, I still have the same plant. Repotted a few times and cut it back over the years but it still going strong.
Took two leaves from my work - after almost two months one leaf has a root that is growing fast now! 🍃 And the other one is trying to catch up… kept them in the window for sun and changed water whenever I remembered. Thanks for the video!

My landlord has had this house since the 80s we live on the same lot. He has an umbrella tree that’s two stories high. It was originally given to him as a plant in a pot. The One who gave it to him as long expired. So I cut just as much as I ever want. I live in Rosarito Mexico and there are huge ficus trees too. They just thrive here
Did several of these. They rooted nicely and look wonderful and healthy, but they've never developed into plants and never will because they have no growth nodes. I took the advice of another gardener and cut a small limb off between leaves and put it in water. It developed lovely roots and is now transplanted and growing splendidly. Six months later the little limbs you suggested haven't changed. Was this some kind of joke?
Same with my leaf cutting. It rooted in water, I transferred it to soil, and 6 months later no new growth above the soil. I decided to repot it and noticed the root system was very well established in the soil so.... still waiting
I don't think you can successfuly grow another full plant from a leaf (at least not with Schefflera). The leaf will indeed grow roots, so you can have a single leaf as a livable plant. It is cute, small office decoration, but one will be upset if he expects an umbrella tree from this cutting.
You really can't. Although the leafs will easily root they will never grow beyond what see here. They must have at least one node in order to grow into a bush. I have rotted one and it is still alive and green after years and it has not grown one bit. At this point I want to see just how long it will continue to stay alive without growing.
Despues de 2meses y medio, puse 14 hojas separadas y solo 2 lograron hacer raices, pero aparecieron despues de 2 meses. Cambiarle el agua filtrada es impotante cada 2 o 3 dias máximo. Y en un lugar con luz indirecta y nada de viento. Lo hice en octubre y aqui estabamos empezando primavera. Lima, Perú Hay q tener paciencia Ahora lo pasare a maceta Espero tener exito tambien De aqui a un mes volvere a publicar Quisiera poner mis fotos, pero no encuentro la manera de hacerlo
Hola Mirtha, yo tengo tres hojas con todas esas indicaciones desde inicios de agosto y aún no veo señal de raíz. Escribo desde Ecuador (costa) estamos pasando verano y ya entrando al invierno. ¡Muchas gracias por tu guía! 🙂
The video I spent weeks looking for. I knew I could propagate with a leaf but no one had videos on how to. I had to go on google when I found this vid. Sorry for complaining haha, thanks you so much for the video!
Curious, did it work for you? My rooted leaves have been potted well over a year. They're doing nothing other than staying alive - no growth, absolutely nothing!
@@susanroman4706 it did work! took about 5 months but it worked! I had to clean the plant often tho cause mold kept killing the start. I’ve never had that issue with other plants so it was weird. If I didn’t clean its container at least twice a week the plant would begin to grow pale and show spots. And if you leave it alone completely, white mold will float above the water and slowly glow up the plant. Did you have that issue too?
@@TinaShmina Hi, Tina! I did not have any of those issues. I placed each one in a small glass jar with dechlorinated water away from direct sun. (They were in a south window but only received indirect light. On dreary days, I had my plant light on about two feet away.) I did change the water every few days. I have no idea what that may have been. Glad after all your troubles they rooted! Next challenge, get them to grow! :D
With a few exceptions, every plant's leaves bear roots with right amount of light and moisture but save a few like Jade, Sansiviera, ZZ plant and others, none will progress upward the soil. 1 leaf some roots and a misguided viewer. Thats it. Schleffera never bears shoots without at least one of the stem nodes. The nature of cells in the leaves and the stem are different.
Mine actually did but it took two years for it to snow some growth. It now looks like a leaf with two little leaf branch growing on it. Mind you the stem and the original leaf didn’t grow a mingle inch in two years.
My leaves rooted after 2 months and produced new growth the next season (over a year after I cut them. From mother plant). The bigger cutting I took with a part of stem is massive compared to the ones from leaves.
Reading from the comments, it’s still best to ‘marcot’ a branch There was vlogger who discovered that by just peeling the outer skin from a mature stem, leave it for maybe 2 weeks to a month, then roots will form along the whole length of the stem. Worth a try as well
Yes! I snagged a single leaf off someone’s office plant as I walked by the office printer. I have no idea who it belongs to. Didn’t have enough time to inspect and snip off a branch without anyone noticing. I was hoping it would work!
I did the same lol I’m hoping it grows I watched another video saying you need a node to be able to grow a plant but I just snipped the leaves so I’m trying to figure out if a leaf cutting will work or not
@@amandabbee so far, my plant looks like it’s not making it. The bottom where the roots are supposed to come out turned into this hard lump while I had it in water for 2 months. I think it had root lock. I transferred it to soil anyway because I did this to the last one I had and it grew roots after it was in soil. However, now it looks shriveled but not dried out. I can’t tell if it might be too much water or not enough root when I transferred. This also happened with the first clipping I had and I thought it was dead so I pulled it out and there were so many roots. I don’t want to make that same mistake so I’m just waiting for new growth above the soil. But she ain’t lookin too hot
Wow, that is the first time I hear about this. Can you tell me from where the trunc will start to grow, from the ground or from where the small leafs are attached?
My umbrella plant has developed new shoots. When I accidentally uprooted it i saw a tuber like thing instead of roots. New shoot came from the other end of the tuber. Never expected it. I'm sooooo happy. It didn't take much long for new leaves to come.
Wow, what kind of growing magic did you put in the water? I put my leaf in a bottle of water, already more than a month ago, but there's only the smallest of beginnings of a root now, after more than a month.
After you see healthy roots put in a good mixed soil in 3 months you will see the difference. Make sure not to over water or you will kill it. But yes you can clone as he did it in video as well as taking a cutting from a stem...must be patient.
Mine have been in the water for about a month also, but I have no sign of root growth at all! I’m wondering if I should keep waiting or give up and start again...
Alexandra Torres I followed the advice of a RUclips video - not sure if it was this one, I watched about 4 of them - and cut each stem off at the main trunk of the plant, so the the nobbly node thing at the bottom of the stem came away with the stem.
I did exactly as you've shown. It took a few months for my two leaves to root. They have now been planted over a year and there has been no growth at all. Still alive but no change whatsoever. Any suggestions?
@@HN-og7if As a last resort, I'm giving them fertilizer now that it's the growing season. If there's no sign of new growth in the next month or so I will be giving up! This is a real mystery to me! Fingers crossed! :D
I found trimmings of this plant in a pile of trash and being the plant nerd I am, snatched them up to grow my own. After watching multiple videos telling me to cut below a leaf node on the stem, I did....and they rotted. Today I was out working in the yard and came across one of the leaves I cut off and it looked fantastic! I'm going to try it again as shown in this vid, maybe all is not lost.
Враньё! На листе нет точки роста, соответственно там рости нечему. Я проверял несколько раз этот способ. Лист дает хорошие корни и может жить в грунте очень долго, но растение из этого листа никогда не вырастет
I got a mystery clippings box online and 1 of them was a single leaf like this. All the successful propagation things I’ve seen are either by pruning or air layering, but they are always from a main stem node and not a single leaf. Has anyone been able to produce new growth or do the roots just keep growing and keep the single leaf alive in perpetuity? I haven’t been able to find of single instance of a leaf without a node producing new growth, so if anyone actually has proof, I’d really be interested in knowing if it’s even worth the soil and time just to keep a leaf alive.
That’s my question!!!! How do new stems grow from the single leaf? I know you posted this question a year ago - but if you see this and have had this question answered - PLEASE tell me the secret!!!! I bought a very small starter plant 4mo ago. So far, I’m just “keeping it alive”. No new growth. But it’s only a few stems/leaves. So if I cut those off to propagate - will I just be keeping a bunch of singles alive then? Where does the new branching and growth come from and HOW? Please tell me you’ve found a solution! ❤
@@Bailster the single leaf without node failed. It grew roots, but then died a few months later. I don’t think it’s viable to grow a new tree from a single leaf.
Sorry to burst this bubble but it doesn’t work without a node, that’s why there is no follow up video, not possible, you can take tip cuttings and root in water the same way and it works, but not a leaf, we have had ours for 1 year and just roots :(
I am trying this with the variegated schefflera. Taking a lower leaf stalk, put it in willow water, and change the water every 3 days, and I will give it a month or so to see if I get any roots. It will sit in a north window for diffused bright light.
What kind of magic water do you have? I have a almost 1,70cm big Schefflera I wanted to propagate approximately 1½ years ago like you did and it took around half a year + for these little waffles to grow roots! I changed water every 2-3 times a week. And from the somewhat 20 leafs I wanted to propagate, only 8 survived, the other ones started to rot on the blob where the roots came out and died. I put the survivers in good soil and literally nothing happened in the past ¾ year except that now only two survived. I just took them out of the soil to check for growth and except the fact that they had a good amount of roots, nothing has changed. Ehh?! I even added a bit fertilizer and I'm not entirely new to plants.. XO
Mine accidentally rooted co I put in in soil but ever since it is in there there's no sign of growing it more. It's been more than 6 months now I think and in my opinion it won't grow any other leaves or stems because it needs to have a node in order to grow another leaf.
I rooted two. This method is a waste of time unless you want a live leaf with a really good root system. I've had mine for many months. It has roots coming out of the holes of the bottom. It is watered when the top inch of soil is almost dry. It's not going to grow. If it hasn't grown in over 8 months with such a large roof mass it's not going to do it anytime soon. I've put it somewhere it's not in the way but I'm sure it's not going to grow. Far simpler method is that described by Swedish House plant guys. That method works easily. I've made several plants when I trim my large one.
I have a leaf growing roots after just a couple weeks! I dipped the bottom in a little cinnamon then put it in the water and its rooted so fast! When this is planted will it grow a full plant?
I doubt it! I've tried it myself, and only when the schefflera cutting had a piece of stem did the cutting grew into a full plant. With just a leaf, it won't grow any further, though in a small pot it does make for a small livable one leaf plant.
I have one I just got from a lady. It's just one leaf like this how do I encourage it to branch out? Also one leaf fell off the top will that encourage more growth elsewhere? I've heard of notching but all I see is some brown rings around the base of the leaf I don't think this are nodes?
Ok so mine has been in water for about 3 months now. Regular water changes, tried aquarium water, tried fertilising the water, tried sugar, nothing, please help. I have succeeded with all my other plants
Mine did nothing for 3,5 month other than produce those weird white bumps, but it finally rooted! I would suggest to just keep this guys in water and change it regularly. It will eventually root
@@victoriawhyte5379 I'm a beginner but try your warmest and most lit room. I'm the summer or spring is probably the best time but I also experiment in the winter. Lol i change the water once a week. I also noticed sometimes if I put too much water, sometimes they rot. Sometimes they freeze if I put them too close to my windows because my apartment windows are old and let in too much cold air. Hope this helps. Don't give up. 😊
Every time I buy this plant leaves just drop off badly so I decided to put in today let’s see if it comes back maybe I keep it to moist not sure tried putting in clay pot too but I may have traumatized the plant before it got adjusted to my atmosphere.
Plants absolutely need sunlight, not directly as it's still delicate at this stage but light is definitely needed. Behind a window will be good enough. Blessings 😊✨
Unbelievable.. where do you place the jar and do you cover it with anything. Please let us know the steps you followed in one months time from placing the leaves in water to the time it showed up roots
bonjour; j'aimerais faire pareille avec mon Schefflera,mes ses pas le même moi le tronc est vert ,donc si je prend des feuille verte et jaune comme vous ,est ce que sa va marcher ou pas ???
Hello, I am waiting for my leaves to take root, they have been in water for 5 weeks and there is no root start, should the water be changed? Thanks for your tips
my apartment has a huge one of these in the lobby so i stole a leaf the other day and shall grow my own 🙄
I took a piece from my work plant hehe
The best thing is that no one will notice, I’m currently taking clippings from my school
Why you tellin on yourself
Did it get roots? Wanna try it too my school have a big one

So would you say that a full plant can grow out of one leaf - even though it takes quite some time?
I wish there was a few months follow up- I didn’t even know you could propagate them straight from a leaf! 🌿

Have you tried adjusting the humidity? Maybe try putting them inside of a jar or clear container, and closing it.

I rooted two. This method is a waste of time unless you want a live leaf with a really good root system. I've had mine for many months. It has roots coming out of the holes of the bottom. It is watered when the top inch of soil is almost dry. It's not going to grow. If it hasn't grown in over 8 months with such a large roof mass it's not going to do it anytime soon. I've put it somewhere it's not in the way but I'm sure it's not going to grow. Far simpler method is that described by Swedish House plant guys. That method works easily. I've made several plants when I trim my large one.
Yes it will root but never grow as new plant.. It will die eventually.. I knew it base on my experience..
Is this real?
Did you put anything in the water?
Will try it though
Se eu fizer uma poda de folhagem da sheffera arboricola ela volta a brotar folhas novas nesse galho! Obrigada aguardo retorno!
So well demonstrated. Thank you
Tyle razy robilam w ten sposób ,i mi korzonek nie puściło :(
When taking the cuttings from the leaves, am I able to braid them to make it grow as a braided plant?
I would think so but not too tightly
Qué ganas de vivir tenían las pobres plantas.
Jajjajajajajajjajaja

I have a leaf growing roots after just a couple weeks! I dipped the bottom in a little cinnamon then put it in the water and its rooted so fast! When this is planted will it grow a full plant?
I doubt it! I've tried it myself, and only when the schefflera cutting had a piece of stem did the cutting grew into a full plant. With just a leaf, it won't grow any further, though in a small pot it does make for a small livable one leaf plant.
I have one I just got from a lady. It's just one leaf like this how do I encourage it to branch out? Also one leaf fell off the top will that encourage more growth elsewhere? I've heard of notching but all I see is some brown rings around the base of the leaf I don't think this are nodes?
Ok so mine has been in water for about 3 months now. Regular water changes, tried aquarium water, tried fertilising the water, tried sugar, nothing, please help. I have succeeded with all my other plants
Why so many likes. My plant is in a childlike child size coma
Mine did nothing for 3,5 month other than produce those weird white bumps, but it finally rooted! I would suggest to just keep this guys in water and change it regularly. It will eventually root
Mine took a few months
@@dianacountry it did nothing but rot away in the end rip. It seems dark green waxy leaf plants dont like me or my VERY cold house
@@victoriawhyte5379 I'm a beginner but try your warmest and most lit room. I'm the summer or spring is probably the best time but I also experiment in the winter. Lol i change the water once a week. I also noticed sometimes if I put too much water, sometimes they rot. Sometimes they freeze if I put them too close to my windows because my apartment windows are old and let in too much cold air. Hope this helps. Don't give up. 😊
Muy buena pinta, lo probaré no te quepa duda.
y qué tal?
Pero no dice cuantos dias fueron para enraizar.
Thanks for sharing, can I transport plant from soil to water?
Un buen dato, gracias por la información.
No need node?
Every time I buy this plant leaves just drop off badly so I decided to put in today let’s see if it comes back maybe I keep it to moist not sure tried putting in clay pot too but I may have traumatized the plant before it got adjusted to my atmosphere.
During that one month do you change the water and do they stay in light or dark place ?
Plants absolutely need sunlight, not directly as it's still delicate at this stage but light is definitely needed. Behind a window will be good enough. Blessings 😊✨
Nice🌷🌸🍀💐🌺
It has been more than a month and half still no roots . What to do ?
Does it still need the node at the bottom of it? Or can it just grow with the stem?
Can grow with stem
@@Natureflowers thank you so much bro!!! 🥺
But they don't actually grow if it's just a leaf right? You'll just have that small leaf forever.
Cuanto tiempo se deja en agua
Good video ji
😁🌍
My god I can't believe this I'll trying 👍👍🙏😊
I've tried it. It will get roots but won't grow
Unbelievable.. where do you place the jar and do you cover it with anything. Please let us know the steps you followed in one months time from placing the leaves in water to the time it showed up roots
Nice info. Thanks for sharing
Ola quanto tempo elas ficaram na agua para enraizar? E ficaram na meia sombra ?
Ninguem responde🥺
I must say that from one leave we can’t grow flower despite we have roots. It doesn’t grow as I know. I would be glad if I wrong
XQ A MI NO ME RESULTA, CON ESQUEJES Y CON HOJAS NO HE LOGRADO ENRAIZARLAS
can we grow it in summer (rainy season in our region at this time)?
Leí que se hacía a principios de primavera
I think your caption is misleading. You said from.a single leaf but you are taking a stem with several leaves!
How often did you change out the water while rooting? Thank you.
In general for this kind of propagation, it would be nice to change the water at least each 3 days. Hope you get good results! 👍
Hvala , lep prikaz!
Can I change water on daily basis
Plante 3 hojas me dio raíz van 2 años y no se desarrolla qe hago

What is humus?I know about humic acid.I reckon humus is cow dung compost,is it so?
Не получается ..делала несколько раз отпадают все листики и всё..
Amazing video keep it up..
My question is will the leaf grow branches once rooted?
No it wont
My planted 🍃 just rooted only. It almost 1 year already. No new 🍃 come out. 😭😭😭😭
do I have to change the water everyday?
This music is wild
So we keep them in the sun when they are in water ?
We are in October can i do it now?
Beautiful 👍👌😉 BRAVO 👏👏👏👏
I wonder is there a better season to do this in?
Superb we should use tap water or RO water????
You can use both of them
Can it be put straight into the soil??
When should I propagate this one???
how frequently should we change water
Hello, I am waiting for my leaves to take root, they have been in water for 5 weeks and there is no root start, should the water be changed? Thanks for your tips
The water should be changed once every 3-5 days
The grown plant?
