Propagation Methods

Learning the art of propagating plants can be a real advantage to all gardeners.

Have you ever had a friend or family member give you cuttings from a beloved plant and not know what to do with those cuttings? And then have the guilt set in for letting it die in that jar on the windowsill waiting for it to sprout roots?


	As a horticulture instructor and member of the International Plant Propagators Society, Kathleen Navarez has plenty of experience in propagation. In the latest issue of Fremontia, Kathleen describes how she tried a certain method (contrary to current information) to propagate our native Romneya coulteri with great success.

	Kathleen will show us different methods of propagation which are influenced by origin, time of year, quantity of material, growth type, health and age of the motherstock.

	Kathleen’s other passion is for the genus Salvia and she is involved with the collecting and growing of sages from around the world.

So come and learn how you can turn those cuttings into new beloved plants of your own.
