With easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, veteran horticulture teacher Miranda Smith provides a complete reference showing every step for cultivating new plants—whether from seed or cuttings or with techniques such as layering, grafting, and budding.
Propagating new plants from existing ones is not only sustainable but also rewarding for gardeners of all skill levels. The Plant Propagator’s Bible offers a solid and complete, go-to reference for expert gardeners but is also a perfect primer for the novice plant lover and horticulturalist.
Smith teaches readers, with the support of hundreds of 4-color photos and detailed illustrations, the natural process and conditions in which plants grow and reproduce, and shows gardeners how to use these systems to propagate any plant that grows in their garden or greenhouse—or even on their windowsill. The book features:
An A to Z directory of more than 1,000 individual plant species—with appropriate propagation techniques for aquatics, ornamental plants, houseplants, shrubs, trees, vegetables, and wildflowers
“What Can Go Wrong” advice for each type of plant, explaining potential problems and how to prevent or fix them

Including information on essential tools and equipment, this is an indispensable addition to every gardener’s bookshelf.

THE PLANT PROPAGATOR’S BIBLE: ABOUT THIS BOOK
The Tools and Techniques section provides general advice for getting started and specific instructions for dozens of propagation techniques.
The Plant Directory section discusses specific plants, with tips tailored to each genus.
TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
THE PROPAGATOR’S TOOL KIT
Good tools make an enormous difference to the ease with which you’ll be able to propagate your plants. They can also make the difference between failure and success. So your first task as a plant propagator is to collect the tools you’ll need for the jobs you’ll be doing.
STARTING FROM SEED
Seeds are true wonders. Inside the seed coat, a tiny plant, complete with its radical, or first root; stem; and cotyledons, or seed leaves, lies ready to take in water and begin growing.
As you’ll see on the following pages, your job as a propagator is to provide the appropriate amounts of water, light, and oxygen at the correct temperatures to stimulate this tiny plant to burst through its seed coat and begin its new life.
DIVIDING ESTABLISHED PLANTS
Dividing established plants is one of the easiest of all propagation techniques. It is also one of the safest—whenever you can choose between division and a more risky propagation technique, choose to divide. As long as you pay attention to a few basic techniques and guidelines, you’ll never lose a plant or have a propagation failure as a result of dividing it.
CUTTINGS
Taking cuttings and stimulating them to root can be a simple, straightforward way to propagate your plants. In the case of tender, tropical houseplants and many woody vines and shrubs, it’s frequently the recommended method. Not only does it give the surest results, it also ensures that the new plant will be identical to the parent. However, to achieve success, you do have to follow some commonsense guidelines.
LAYERING
Layering is one of the easiest ways to propagate plants. The stems of many plants naturally form roots when they are in contact with the soil, and this method takes advantage of that characteristic. With some plants, you have to wound the stem to stimulate rooting, and you often have to bury or surround the stem with soil or a moist rooting medium, but that’s all there is to it—the plant does the rest of the work.
GRAFTING
Grafting is one of the most exciting things you can do in the garden. Once you master it, you can create such things as an apple tree that contains two cultivars that pollinate each other, a mixed-cultivar tree that produces a variety of fruits in a small space, and specialty roses that grow on a trustworthy rootstock.
