Houseplants from offsets
Article Abstract:
Certain house plants, such as succulents, clivias, screwpines and bromeliads, can be sources for new plants because of their shoots which begin to grow around the main plant. When these shoots begin to crowd the center plant, they can be broken off and started in new pots.
