Grow your next plant from the one you have

Propagation Planner

Choose your plant and the material you have. Build a method-specific checklist, prepare your supplies and keep a batch record as roots and new growth appear.

1. Choose a plant and method

Include a stem node; a leaf stalk alone does not provide a growing bud.

2. Prepare your batch

Count each cutting, leaf section, rooted division or plantlet as one starting piece. Record actual rooted pieces and potted plants below.

Propagation Planner FAQ

Why do the available methods change with the plant?

Methods follow the plant’s growth structure, then your available material and rooting preference.

What does one starting piece mean?

Each cutting, leaf section, division or plantlet is one piece. Record rooted pieces and potted plants separately.

How do I know when to move the new plant?

Follow the method’s root, shoot or establishment criteria. Use check-in dates to organize observations.

How do I use the planner for an unlisted plant?

Choose the unlisted-plant option and a method you have confirmed. Use its general workflow and batch record.

Can I keep several batches?

Save up to twelve batches. Load one to continue its records and save again. Start another batch to change the plant, method or piece count.

How do the supply recommendations work?

Supplies follow the method and growing mix. Mark items you own; select lighting or suitable ornamental rooting hormone when needed.
