Discover the “magic” of plant reproduction in this hands-on introductory workshop. Ever looked at a favorite houseplant or a stunning garden shrub and wished you had five more just like it? Propagation 101 is a deep dive into the rewarding world of plant cloning. This workshop demystifies the science behind plant regeneration, teaching you how to harness a plant’s natural energy to create entirely new, independent life.

* Select Appropriate Propagation Media: Participants will be able to evaluate and choose between water, soil, perlite, or moss based on the specific needs and moisture requirements of different plant types.
* Manage Post-Propagation Care: Participants will develop a maintenance plan for “infant” plants, including regulating humidity, light exposure, and acclimation to ensure a high survival rate during the transition to independent growth.
