Plant Propagation Techniques for the Home: Indoors and Out
February 5 | 9-10 AM
Propagating plants is a fun and rewarding experience that can also seem daunting to the uninitiated. We will demonstrate a few common propagation techniques for many common house plants, herbaceous perennials, trees, and shrubs. The presentation will focus on how the plant (re)grows to direct the propagation technique and after care rather than species-specific recommendations to build a more holistic understanding of propagation from the plant’s perspective. Presenter: Grant Thompson, Iowa State University Extension.
