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.
Monocots include all grasses and glasslike plants, plus lilies, irises, amaryllises, and some other plant types. Usually, but not always, monocots possess parallel-veined leaves, as typified in the simple blade of fescue grass shown at the right. One example of a monocot which does not have parallel-veined leaves is the Trillium, several species of which are common in moist American forests.
