Fair warning, Iâm going to nerd out here with a bit of a botany lesson. Flowering plants fall under two main categories: monocots and dicots. Dicots are more commonly used for propagation and rumor has it, they root from cuttings easier than monocots. However, snake plants, palms and zz plants are classified as monocots and I have successfully rooted all three from stem and leaf cuttings.
According to the IUCN there are 59,300 species of monocots. The largest family in this group (and in the flowering plants as a whole) by number of species are the orchids (family Orchidaceae), with more than 20,000 species.escription [edit]. The monocots are one of the major divisions of the flowering plants or angiosperms. They have been recognized as a natural group since at least the work of the English botanist John Ray in the 17th century.
