"New Plants From Cuttings”
Speaker Mark Schauer January 14, 2025.
​
Plants can be propagated, or multiplied, in several different ways. Most people are familiar with growing new plants from seeds, but new plants can also be created by cutting off a portion of an established plant. This “cutting” is placed in an environment that encourages it to produce new roots and/or stems, thus forming a new independent plant.
There are several advantages to propagating plants using cuttings. Mark will show us several ways that we can successfully start cuttings in our homes.
Lake Forest Park Garden Club thanks all of the fantastic speakers who shared their knowledge and passion with us in 2024!​
