John Cushnie has been propagating plants for over 40 years, having started with chrysanthemum cuttings when he was still at school and moved on to shrubs, trees, perennials, alpines, house plants and much more.

In clear step-by-step instructions and photographs, he explains how to sow seed, take cuttings, divide, layer, and graft. Some of the techniques are almost foolproof, others are a bit more tricky, but all are readily achievable for anyone to give it a try, accept the occasional failure, and revel in the triumphs.

In addition to the techniques themselves, John gives detailed guidance on plant hygiene, temperature and humidity, timing, and how to look after your newborn plants. >> Buy Now!
