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.
Plants are classified by botanists as either monocotyledons or dicotyledons. Monocotyledons, or monocots for short, are plants with just one cotyledon. A cotyledon is a seed leaf, which is the first leaf of a plant to develop and an important part of the seed and embryo.Dicotyledons, or dicots, are plants that have two initial cotyledons. This lesson focuses on dicots.In addition to having two seed leaves, dicots have flower parts in groups of four or five.xamples of Dicotyledon Plants. One classic example of a dicotyledon plant is the magnolia tree. These trees grow in many places in the southern United States. In fact, the magnolia is the state tree of Mississippi. Magnolia trees are classified as dicots because they germinate with two cotyledons.
