When the plants outgrow themselves and become too large for their location, it is time to prune them and, if you wish, propagate them at the same time.
Plants can sometimes be reproduced in many different ways.
Most climbing plants, for example, can simply be cut between two leaf nodes.
Then you should allow the cut part to dry a little and place the cut part in a container with water or moist moss. Then you should wait until new roots have formed and you can plant the new plant.
The formation of new roots is partly dependent on environmental influences. Ideally, it is warm and humid, such as in a terrarium or greenhouse, to promote this.
Meanwhile, the mother plant sprouts again in another location.
Other plants form smaller versions of themselves in their pots, which can be separated from the plant and continue to grow separately. For this to happen, the separated plants should already have formed their own roots. If this is not the case, they can be temporarily placed in water or moss.
Others, such as Alocasia, reproduce through rhizomes. These are small "root nodes" that can develop on the mother plant. Over time, a new plant forms from these.
In general, when propagating, it is important to remember that young plants are more susceptible to environmental influences and changes. You don't have to wrap them in cotton wool right away, but you still need to be a little more careful with them.
