For plant geeks, propagating plants can be such a fun and rewarding process. It’s incredible to grow a plant from a tiny plant cutting and see it blossom into a whole new plant of its own. Plus, it’s a great way to get free plants!
Technically, you can propagate a plant in any glass, jar or bottle. But why not bring it up a notch and show off your plant cuttings by investing in a propagation station? These days, you can find a whole slew of tastefully designed propagation stations that not only allow you to grow plants in water and also add to the aesthetics of your home.
I have rounded up some of the best propagation stations for under $25 that are available online. They range from slick and modern, to boho and rustic. And they’re all as beautiful as they are functional.

It’s made up of 8 wooden building blocks and 4 test tube propagation vases that can be set up easily, into different shapes. Perfect for nature lovers, the blocks are painted in four earth colors: white, coffee, brown and gray.
14. Wooden Stand Propagation Station
Similar to the wooden stand propagation station I recommended above, this one consists of three propagation vases on a wooden stand — except that the vases can be easily removed. This definitely makes cleaning easier, but the propagation station is also less stable and there are higher chances of dropping the glass vases. Still, just look at how cool this propagation station looks!
15. Glass Propagation Vases with Lid and Wooden Tray
For those who want something more traditional, this trio of glass propagation vases is perfect. It has a Japanese feel, with a modern bamboo tray and three glasses that have been covered with lids. The lids are something that none of the propagation stations on this list has, and it makes sure your plant babies and water stay safe in the vases. I also like that these propagation vases are bigger than most of the items on this list, which means you can keep your plant babies in there longer without having to move them into a pot.
16. Test Tube Vases with Wood Block Base
This wooden block propagation station is simple on its own — but buy a couple of them, mount them to your wall with one on top on another, and you’ll get a stunning vertical garden. The wood block base can be easily mounted on the wall, but you can also place it on a table, shelf, or windowsill. You can propagate pink houseplants on it to add some colors to your home, or better yet, paint the wooden block any color you like!

Exuding a soft and romantic feel, it works really well in creating a boho chic atmosphere in any home. I’m definitely buying this next!
18. Magnetic Concrete Propagation Station
An innovative option for plant lovers, this magnetic propagation station uses technology to create a simple but sophisticated set up. The test tubes are made up of magnetic borosilicate glass, and can be strongly attached to the magnetic concrete wall propagation discs which are easily hung on the wall with drywall screws. This set comes with 3 discs and 3 test tubes; as well as a bottle of propagation fertilizer and a water refill squeeze bottle specifically designed for these test tubes.
19. Hanging Test Tube Wooden Planters
If you don’t have enough space on your plant shelves or tabletop, this eye-catching minimalistic option is easy to hang on a wall. All you need is to do is install the no-mark hook into the wall and hang the wooden plank! The plank is strong enough to hold the weight of four fixed glass vases. The only flaw of this design is that the vases cannot be individually removed, so you’ll need to take the whole propagation station off the wall in order to wash or propagate new plants.
20. Hanging Lightbulb Propagation Station
Those obsessed with hanging planters (guilty as charged) will love these hanging lightbulb plant pots. These lightbulb propagation vases are actually forged with high-quality borosilicate glass to sustain the strong elements of nature. The glass is also engineered to resist heat, so you can easily hang them in a corner with direct sunlight (if your plant babies need them). Plus the lightbulbs have holes to allow the plants to receive oxygen and to grow.
