The Propagation Handbook

In The Propagation Handbook, plant stylist Hilton Carter reveals how to grow and increase your own plant family by propagating existing plants.

Not only a plant lover, Carter is passionate about propagation, the process of growing a brand new healthy and happy plant from part of an existing one. In this, his fifth book, Carter talks us through the process of propagation and explains all the necessary techniques, from the simplest to more complex methods, such as air layering and grafting. He describes exactly which method to use for different types of plants, and lists the tools essential for the process. In Carter's own words: “You hear so much about plant ‘parenthood’, but knowing how to propagate and then watching as your little plant takes shape and develops into a full-grown plant is the very definition of this.”
