The anthurium plant, with its unusual red flowers, makes a wonderful addition to any home garden. If you’ve seen this flower at a friend’s house or are looking to increase the number of anthurium plants at home, be sure to try this simple method of propagating them using leaves.

Propagating a flower this way is incredibly easy; even a novice gardener can handle the task.

Cut off several anthurium leaves. Trim the stem below each leaf. Using a toothpick, make several holes in the cut stem.

Treat the cut areas with a growth stimulator.

To ensure the leaves take root quickly, you’ll need a ripe mango, which contains a wealth of nutrients and vitamins. The mango will also act as an organic fertilizer.

Place thin mango slices on loose, fertile soil. Place anthurium leaves on top of the mango and cover with soil.

Water the planting generously with clean, settled water. Continue caring for the seedlings as usual, and you’ll see results within a month.

In just 30 days, the leaves will grow a healthy and strong root system. They may also produce a bright red flower.

Transplant the rooted leaves into a large pot, and soon they will grow and turn into wonderful bushes of incredibly beautiful anthurium.
