The colourful Coleus plant

If you want to brighten up your balcony or living room, you can grow a Coleus plant without any cost. Just take a 4-5 inch long cutting. Remove the lower leaves and place it in water. After 7-10 days, when roots start to appear, it's ready for a planter. Once the roots form, transplant it into a pot and water it regularly. You will soon see new, colourful leaves.

Jade Plant

The Jade plant is a succulent. Its small, thick leaves look quite beautiful. You can grow another plant using a stem cutting or even a healthy leaf. Let the cutting dry for 1-2 days, so the cut part heals. Then, plant it in a succulent soil mix. This plant doesn't need a lot of water. You can place it indoors or outdoors.

Syngonium

Syngonium is a plant with long, green leaves, also used as a decorative plant. Cut a 4-6 inch long piece from a healthy vine, making sure it has at least one node (the small bump on the stem). Plant it in a pot with water or moist soil. Roots start to appear in 10-15 days, and the plant begins to grow new leaves.

Hibiscus plant

Take a 5-6 inch long Hibiscus branch that is as thick as a pencil. The branch should not be too old or too soft. Plant the cutting 2-3 inches deep in the soil and press down lightly. Water it a little and keep the pot in bright, indirect light, away from harsh sun. New leaves will start to appear in 3-6 weeks.
