Hilton Carter is passionate about propagating plants and in The Propagation Handbook, he equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to grow a brand-new plant from an existing one. Written in his signature engaging and accessible style, this beautiful and practical book—Hilton's fifth—digs into various methods of taking cuttings, root development, potting, maintaining, and displaying our new plant babies.

Taking a cutting from a beloved plant can seem daunting, but Hilton demystifies the entire process. He addresses FAQs such as: where is the best place on a plant to make a cut? Do you immediately place the cutting in regular water? How long will it take for a cutting to grow roots? and much more, and presents a wealth of easy-to-implement guidelines to get readers growing.
