Propagation allows us to…

• preserve desirable genetics
• produce plants inexpensively
• share plants with community
• scale perennial systems quickly.

Many perennial crops are propagated vegetatively rather than from seed.

General Tips

• Label plants clearly. Include date & variety.
• Keep tools clean. Use rubbing alcohol.
• Prevent cuttings from drying out.
• Maintain moisture but avoid water-logging.
• Indirect light is usually best for rooting cuttings.
• Typical rooting time: 2-6 weeks.
