I will show you how to grow anthurium plant from cuttings in an easy and simple method. This is the exact process I use in my nursery, and it works well.
Choose a healthy plant to take a cutting. I take a baby plant of anthurium and make the cut using scissors. The cutting is healthy enough and it will grow well.
Anthurium Cutting Propagation
1. Choose a healthy plant
Pick a vigorous anthurium with a baby offshoot or a clean stem section. Take the cutting with sharp scissors for a neat cut. The cutting should look firm and fresh.
2. Prepare the cutting
Clean it by removing extra leaves and any rotten part from the base. After cleaning, the cutting looks healthy and ready to plant.

3. Root hormone for faster success
I use root hormone stage one to help prevent fungus and establish roots faster. This root hormone is for soft cuttings and you can get it in an online store or a chemical store. Apply it slightly on the base of the cutting.
After applying, the cutting is ready for potting. Root hormone helps it establish the roots faster.
4. Pot and soil mix
Use a pot with many drainage holes. The soil mix I use is garden soil with a little bit of coco peat. Add more soil into the pot and keep the mix well drained.
Place the plant in bright, indirect light after planting. Keep it in a bright area until it grows well.
5. Planting and watering
Make a hole first so the root hormone does not rub off the cutting. Plant it and press the soil gently around it.
For watering, give water three to four times a week. Do not let the soil get too dry or too wet, and keep it in bright, indirect light.

6. Day 45 results
This is day 45 of growing the anthurium cutting. It has started growing well, so I take it out of the pot to show the roots. It has lots of roots in just 45 days and it has grown well.
You can use this process at home to grow anthurium from cuttings. It is the easiest process to grow an anthurium plant, and you can even see a beautiful flower on it.
I clean the roots with water and you can see them clearly. The root system looks strong and healthy, and the plant is blooming.
7. Repotting and aftercare
I repot it into a pot with many holes for better drainage. For the soil mix, I use 50% garden soil, 20% cow manure, and 30% rice husk. This soil mix helps the plant stay healthy.
I plant it carefully and add more soil on top. Press the soil gently so you do not destroy the roots.
For watering after repotting, give water four to five times a week. Do not let the soil be too dry or too wet. I place it again in indirect light in a bright area.
