Gardening Video: Propagation from Stem Cuttings

July 7, 2020

Gardening in the Mountains presents:
Propagation from Stem Cuttings

Propagating Perennials_CC BY-NC 2.0_FlickrPresenter:  John Bowen, Extension Master GardenerSM Volunteer

Do you want to expand the quantity of annuals, perennials, and shrubs in your garden?  Or grow and overwinter your favorite annuals for next summer’s planting?  Propagation is a fun and easy way to do this.  John Bowen, retired science teacher and lover of plants, will show you how.

In this 50-minute video, John covers the propagation steps from A to Z—selecting and preparing the cutting, rooting hormones, the pros and cons of different rooting media, and light/moisture exposure for root development. He shares ideas for preparing different types of propagation containers and creating mini-greenhouse effects.  The presentation includes a hands-on demonstration and ends with an informative Q&A session.

As John says, “Try it. You’ll like it.  You can’t have too many plants!”
