Notes from the propagation bench

Propagation is the quiet craft behind every nursery: turning one plant into many by cuttings, layering, or division. This blog is a running set of notes from the bench — what rooted, what rotted, and the small variables that decided the difference.

Most ornamentals in the trade are grown vegetatively so the variety stays true. The notes here focus on the practical end: humidity, media, timing, and the honest failure rate nobody prints on the seed packet.
