Grow Your Own Katuk Sweet Leaf Plant with These Cuttings

Start your own thriving Katuk garden with our 15 Katuk cuttings. These cuttings are from the Katuk Sweet Leaf Plant (Sauropus androgynus), known for its nutritious and delicious leaves. Each cutting measures between 4 to 6 inches in length, providing you with a great start to propagate your own plants. These are live cuttings, meaning that they do not have established roots and are not fully established plants; they’re meant to be rooted by the gardener. Growing Katuk from cuttings is a great way to expand your garden affordably.

The leaves can be eaten raw in salads, cooked in soups and stews, or added to stir-fries. Growing your own Katuk ensures a fresh supply of this nutritious green right in your backyard. These Katuk cuttings offer a convenient and cost-effective way to start your Katuk journey.
