How To Propagate by John Cushnie

Illustrated hard cover book in very good condition- 256 pages - colour photographs

Not so many years ago everyone who had a garden propagated their own plants. Nowadays we are more inclined to nip down to the garden centre to buy anything from tiny cells of bedding plants to three-metre climbers, but in fact most of the plants we grow in our gardens can be propagated with ease. Some of the techniques are almost foolproof, even for complete beginners; others are trickier, but all are readily achievable for the amateur gardener prepared to have a go. John also gives detailed guidance on plant hygiene, temperature and humidity, timing and how to look after your newborn plants until they are ready to fend for themselves. With a new edition out, 'How to Propagate' is a much loved bible on propagation that will be indispensable to beginners and committed enthusiasts alike.
