There are many reasons to propagate plants in our home gardens.  Money is certainly one of them. It's a lot cheaper to take cuttings off your plants or the plants in the gardens of friends than it is to go buy the same thing at the garden center.  Producing exact replicas of existing plants in the yard so that we know what the result will be is another excellent reason to learn and utilize propagation techniques. 

Propagation techniques include stem cuttings, leaf cuttings, air layering, spores, seeds, root divisions, runners, and air layering to name a few.  There are many plants that can be propagated using these methods, including annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, and roses.  It just makes economic sense to become familiar with propagation techniques so that you can fill your garden with beauty at minimal expense. 

A basic knowledge of the way plants reproduce in nature is necessary in order to understand how techniques work with various plant species.  This page will detail this knowledge, and specify individual plants and how they are propagated in the home setting.  This is a work in progress, so bear with me as I do the necessary research.  Please Bookmark and return often, as this page is updated daily.
