Make more houseplants (for free!) with this comprehensive bible of propagation techniques, featuring clear, step-by-step instructions covering over a dozen methods for over 80 different houseplants.

Accompanied by full-colour photographs and beautiful illustrations, The Ultimate Guide to Houseplant Propagation offers all the horticultural know-how you need to make new plants from existing plants. Learn how to successfully take stem, leaf, and petiole cuttings of your favourite houseplants, plus get plenty of insight into air and soil layering, division of offsets, water propagation, and even houseplant seed germination. Whether you are a beginner or advanced houseplant enthusiast, the easy-to-follow format allows you to start propagating right away. This is also the first book to take a deep dive into the pollination and breeding of Anthuriums to create your own unique hybrids, at home!

Author Lindsay Sisti of @alltheplantbabies also introduces the best tools for different propagation techniques and shares the lowdown on various growing mediums to use with each propagation method.

With help from The Ultimate Guide to Houseplant Propagation you'll be able to:

  • Take leaf cuttings of your favourite succulent
  • Divide the corms of your Alocasia plant
  • Separate aerial and underground tubers from a String of Hearts plant
  • Make more Anthuriums through stem cuttings, divisions, and seed propagation
  • Root Hoyas and Snake Plants by taking stem cuttings
  • Air layer your Philodendron or Monstera
  • Propagate your ZZ Plant or Snake Plants by dividing the rhizome or rooting leaf cuttings
  • Take petiole cuttings of Pileas, Peperomias, Begonias, and many others

Whether your houseplant collection is focused on tropicals or succulents (or is a combination of both!), level-up your houseplant game by diving into DIY plant propagation. It's fun and easyβ€”but only with the right guide at your side. This is the comprehensive propagation handbook you have been waiting for.
