Offert en anglais seulement

Propagating your own plants is fun, inexpensive and a sustainable way to garden. This guide demystifies the art of taking cuttings and explains the other ways you can multiply your garden plants.

An introductory section describes the botanical science behind all types of propagation and defines and simplifies the language. The book is then split into chapters detailing each of the different types of propagation. Each chapter includes a selection of “plant profiles” for the plants best suited to each propagation method.

Topics include the easiest methods of splitting one plant into several new ones; how to collect and process seeds from flowers, vegetables herbs and trees; how to successfully grow a new plant from an existing one using several different methods for taking cuttings; and techniques to increase your houseplant collection.

The final chapters show how to grow new plants from kitchen scraps, and gives ideas on how to make the

most of all the new plants you've created by giving them as gifts.
