Propagation

Growing More Plants, More Easily

Propagation is one of the most empowering skills a gardener can learn. Whether you’re starting seeds for the first time, dividing mature plants, rooting cuttings in water, or experimenting with more advanced techniques, propagation lets you expand your garden creatively and affordably. This section guides you through every method — from simple, beginner-friendly approaches to deeper dives for curious growers.

You’ll find clear tutorials on seed starting, choosing reliable suppliers, using tools like soil blocks, self-watering systems, and Bootstrap Farmer trays, and even fun techniques like seed snails and winter sowing. We’ll also cover how to save your own seeds, select the right seed-starting medium, and navigate options from popular companies like Epic Gardening, Greenhouse Megastore, All About the Garden, and Gardener’s Supply Co.

Beyond seeds, you’ll learn how to propagate plants through soil propagation, water propagation, root cuttings, division, and even tissue culture, giving you a full toolkit for multiplying your favorite plants.

Whether you’re growing your very first tray of seedlings or looking to refine your technique, this section will help you build confidence, experiment with new methods, and grow more of what you love—starting from scratch.
