Propagating Plants
Plant propagation does not have to be scary.
In general, this term is a horticultural and landscape industry term for growing plants, but also growing single or small groupings of plants on your home workbench, your kitchen windowsill, in our garden, a sunroom, or somewhere else.
After listening to this quick podcast, you’ll learn about five different examples of propagation and decide if one of these methods fits your own needs.
Remember, after you have propagated your plants, they’ll each have certain needs to help them survive for sunlight, water, and soil for their best health.
