The propagation pillar · Make more plants

The Propagation Lab

Turning one plant into many, and keeping the ones you make alive. Tissue culture first: deflasking, sterile technique, and the acclimatization that decides whether a lab plantlet survives its first month. Cuttings, division, and seed to follow. Written as bench protocols, not theory.

What it is

Bench protocols, filmed and cited

Each entry is a working procedure: what to do, in what order, and why the science says so. Where a step matters, we show it on video and back it with the literature.

Who it's for

Growers ready to make more

For people moving past buying plants to propagating them, whether that's a tissue-culture flask from a vendor or a cutting off a friend's Monstera. No lab required.

How it's written

Opinion-bearing, not neutral

We'll tell you which steps are non-negotiable, which are optional insurance, and which shortcuts cost you the plant. When the science draws a line, so do we.
