There’s something oddly thrilling about the moment you realize your orchid isn’t just a decorative plant but a living thing determined to grow, multiply, and maybe — if you treat it right — create an entirely new generation. Propagation isn’t instant, and it isn’t always predictable, but that’s honestly part of its charm. Most orchids won’t grow from leaf cuttings like succulents or begonias, so the approach depends heavily on the type you have.
