You can DIY house plants by collecting pieces from friends who have plants you like. Put the cut end of each piece into a glass of wate when it sprouts roots, plant it in soil, being careful not to touch those tender roots. You can buy rooting hormone at your local nursury, dip the stem of an African violet leaf into the powder; poke a hole into a small pot of soil.

When they're big enough, transplant each into its own pot.
