Propagation

  • Dormancy

    Dormancy is a metabolic strategy employed by plants as a survival mechanism against environmental stress. It manifests through reduced growth and energy conservation, interrupted by signals such as temperature changes or moisture. Seeds and buds exhibit different dormancy types, which affect their germination and blooming patterns, crucial for successful plant propagation.

  • Rooting & Sprouting Basics

    Plants begin through sprouting or rooting. Sprouting involves seeds activating and growing into genetically unique plants, requiring specific conditions like moisture and warmth. Rooting, on the other hand, entails cuttings developing roots and becoming identical clones. Each method has different success factors, including species biology and environmental requirements.
