Propagation: Creating new plants from existing ones using methods like cuttings, division, or layering.
Propagation is like magic in the garden. It’s how you can take one plant and turn it into many! Instead of always starting from seeds, you can use parts of a mature plant to create new ones. Think of it as cloning, but for plants.
There are different ways to propagate plants, like taking cuttings and rooting them in water or soil, dividing clumps of plants into smaller sections, or layering branches so they root while still attached to the parent plant. It’s like having a plant family reunion, where everyone gets their little pot or spot in the garden.
Propagation is a great way to expand your garden without spending much money on new plants. It’s also a fun way to share your favorite plants with friends and family. It’s like passing down a family recipe, but instead of food, it’s plants!
