Propagating Plants

Have you ever seen a plant at a friend's home and thought, I really need that one. Only to not find it in any store. There is a good way to "get" a plant is to take a cutting of the mother plant. Three are three main ways of propagating plants. Water, dirt and moss. The most common is water. It is as easy as taking a cutting and placing the cutting in a jar of water and waiting for roots to form. The second way is dirt. You propagate the cutting directly into most soil. For best results, it is best to use a rooting hormone.The third way is moss. Sphagnum moss may work if the above two ways do not. You only need to keep the moss damp until the plants roots form.
