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.
The seed of a monocot is one unit.(corn). When idt sprouts it sends up a single leaf. The seed of a dicot usually breaks in two easily Peanuts, beans and Roses) The seed sends up a stem with two leaves. These first two leaves are called the cotyledon leaves.The next two leaves are called true leaves. That's about as many differentiations I can quickly recall to distinguish between monocots and dicots..here are several ways to distinguish between dicots and monocots. The leaves of monocots have veins that begin at the base of the leaf and end at the tip without any branching (Lilly family). The dicot's vein starts at the bottom and branches or nets all over the leaf.
