Simple Plant Propagation Guides and Techniques

Terms of Use

Last updated: October 6, 2026

These Terms of Use apply to your use of Houseplant Propagation (“the site”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

What the site provides

The site publishes free guides about propagating houseplants, for general information and personal enjoyment. We work to keep the guides clear and accurate, but we do not promise that every guide is free of errors or that you will get a particular result by following it. Plants are living things, and whether and how fast a cutting or a division takes depends on the species, the health of the parent plant, the method, the season and the conditions in your home. Some cuttings fail even when everything is done with care. The guides describe what to check and what usually helps; they are not a diagnosis of your plant, and any time ranges they mention are approximate.

Propagation information at your own risk

The content on the site is general information. It is not professional horticultural, veterinary or medical advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who can examine your plant, your pet or you. You follow the guides at your own risk, and you are responsible for deciding whether a suggestion suits your plant and your home. Propagation involves cutting a plant, which can weaken or kill it, and it involves blades: handle scissors, snips and knives with care.

Toxicity, sap and product labels

Some houseplants are toxic to pets or to people, and the sap of some can irritate skin. Where a guide mentions whether a plant is listed as toxic or non-toxic, it links to the source of that statement, and you should check that source for the exact plant you own. A plant that is listed as non-toxic is not a plant that is safe to eat. If a pet or a child eats part of a plant, contact a veterinarian, a doctor or a poison control service right away.

If you use rooting hormone or any other product mentioned in a guide, read the product label and follow it. The label on the product you bought takes priority over anything written on this site, including its directions on handling, protective gear, storage and keeping the product away from children and pets.

Using our content

Unless stated otherwise, the text, illustrations and design of the site belong to Houseplant Propagation. You are welcome to:

  • read, print and use the guides for personal, classroom, library or other non-commercial purposes;
  • share a link to any page;
  • quote short passages with a clear credit and a link back to the original page.

Please do not republish whole guides or illustrations, sell them, or present them as your own work without written permission.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site. This includes attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with how the site works, sending spam or unlawful content through the contact form, or copying the site in bulk by automated means beyond what is needed for normal search engine indexing.

The site links to a small number of third-party reference pages that we think are useful. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, Houseplant Propagation is not liable for any loss, damage, injury or illness arising from your use of the site or from following its guides, including the loss of a plant and harm to a person or an animal. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how information is handled when you use the site.

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when they were last revised. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
