Pruning and Propagating
The arts of pruning and propagating are essential skills for all growers. There are many ways to propagate plants, from simply sowing a seed to taking cuttings, to air layering. Pruning of plants is an even more delicate skill, and must be done with great care. In this section, we present some of the better books available on these subjects.
Starting Seeds Indoors
By Ann Reilly
A concentrated tome of good advice and tips to better indoor seed starting. This booklet is full of insight and new ways of planning, thinking about, and executing the annual and anticipated ritual of starting seeds indoors. Lighting, watering, soil recipes, and overall care tips abound in this short book. 32 pages.
The Plant Progagators Bible
With her reader-friendly, easy-to-follow directions, a veteran
horticulture teacher demonstrates all the ways to cultivate new
plants—whether from seed or cuttings or with techniques such as
layering, grafting, and budding
Creating new plants from
existing ones is one of the most rewarding aspects of gardening. But to
many, the idea of propagating plants seems like a feat that only the
most experienced gardeners can master. The Plant Propagator’s Bible strips away the mystique and makes multiplying plants easy even for the novice.
Drawing
on her many years as a horticulture teacher, Miranda Smith explains 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. 192 pages.
