Secrets of Plant Propagation
(Hill)
Plant propagation? That's starting your own flowers and vegetables, inside and out. It's raising shrubs and trees for your property, creating your own orchard - even growing many houseplants from one.
Is it expensive? Definitely not. You don't need a greenhouse or costly equipment. You can do a lot with a couple of fluorescent bulbs. Seeds are cheap, some are free. As for shrubs, trees and houseplants, Lewis Hill explains how to collect at no cost, rather than buy, the materials you'll need. |

|
| It's fun, can be profitable, and, with the help of Lewis Hill plus the many illustrations in this book, is easy. Beginners will learn from step one; those more advanced will discover new techniques and find tips to improve their results. Try plant propagation. You'll be amazed at the results. 168 pages, softcover. |

Hydroponically Speaking
Cloning
(Carruthers)
The art of cloning is commonplace in horticulture today, where plants are duplicated or multiplied using asexual methods. The procedure involves taking once cell of a plant in the form of a cutting to promote growth into another plant.
For the everyday gardener, cloning is a relatively simple but interesting process normally used for economic reasons to produce more versions of a favourite plant variety.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In commercial ornamental, flower and vegetable production, cloning is used to improve plant stock, to produce insect and disease resistant plant varieties, or to produce plant species that are more adaptable to the vagaries of climate.
Divided into 10 sections, Hydroponically Speaking Cloning outlines the basic rules for successful cloning, which starts with choosing and creating the most suitable plant material. The section on setting up offers a budget method of cloning for the beginner. This is followed by a step-by-step guide to cloning valuable plant stock from cutting to transplanting and growing on. The author discusses the cloning environment in practical detail, and outlines what to expect from your new plants in those early developmental stages.
The last two sections examine growth regulators used in commercial ornamental, cut flower and vegetable production and the "Sea of Green" hydroponic technique used to produce multiple high quality plant stock. Hydroponically Speaking Cloning is illustrated throughout with how-to illustrations, diagrams and photographs. Softcover. 48 pages.
