I know this is going to sound like a very newbie question but could someone please explain to me what propagation means, I'm not new to bonsaid trees however I can't say that ii've ever heard this word used.

i think propegation means the way the water drains out, not entirely sure but thats my guess

Propagation just means starting new plants, from seed, cuttings or however.

Hi Smithy ; Propagation would be rooting from cuttings and germination which I do mostly is by seeds . African violets are propagated using the leaves . Some shrubs and trees can be propagated by young branches .

I use aspirin and liquid seaweed to germinate seeds and leaves . I buy nursery trees also . Using this on trees when re-potting will make the root systems take well and protect them from from diseases . You can use this in watering young seedlings also , BUT ONLY EVERY THREE WEEKS .

I grow tropicals , herbs , cactus and hybrid plants . TO: make your tree leaves green and healthy use a little SPIRULINA (seaweed) in a spray bottle with warm filtered water . <Use all or wash out , it will be NO GOOD THE NEXT DAY>

Hi ; I use the word germination because I grow with seeds mostly .
But I do use leaves to grow new plants with African Violets and you can propagate with young branches on some shrubs and trees . Also with cactus you dry the stems for 3 to 4 days or as long as it takes to dry the ends good then plant them in good draining soil mix for cactus .
This works the same with Desert Rose tree and the Plumeria tree . They both have the same milky sap and need to dry out the same as the cactus ends do . This gets new trees and cactus growing faster .
The milky sap is deadly if you have a cut or put your fingers in your mouth . Always use gloves or wash your hands right after making cuttings .

i use cut offs, much quicker

To propagate is to take a part of a plant and treat it in a way to generate another plant from it , using root clippings , a piece of a branch or leaves .

Hi Charles,:hello: Thank you for your first post, I hope there are many more to follow.

Hi rosebud, A bit late in coming ,but, would you please expound on your concept of aspirin /seaweed, sounds very interesting.

Willow, I bet you are thinking irrigation
