This workshop is part of the Houseplant Festival which runs Sat 22 – Sun 23 October 2022.

Growing a whole new plant from just a section of leaf or piece of stem has got to be one of the most fascinating things about plants. In this propagation crash course, we will show you how to turn your plant shelfie into a full indoor jungle – covering lots of fascinating intricate techniques and secrets of plant propagation, Fay will show us how to take leaf petiole, leaf lamina and node cuttings and the best tools to use.

After the workshop you will leave bursting with ideas and knowledge as well as all the plants you have propped in the workshop. This workshop is perfect for experimenters, beginners, and seasoned propagators who want to refine their skills.
