Propagation

 

HomePage

Welcome to the wonderful and satisfying world of plant propagation. Nothing is as rewarding as taking a small part of a plant and using it to produce a new one, whether it be raising plants from seed or through one of the varied vegetative methods of propagation.

Plants have the whole process of reproducing themselves down to a fine art, whether it be sexually through seed, or vegetatively through runners, suckers, off-sets, stolons, bulbils, tubers, rhizomes, or even pieces of plant that will produce roots, plants are well equipped to ensure their reproduction and survival. 

In this section we hope to show you the basics of how to exploit a plant's natural ability to reproduce itself, thereby enabling you to increase your plant collection as inexpensively as possible.
