Even for the beginner indoor gardener, a single leaf can hold enough life to be successfully grown into a brand new plant.With Root, Nurture, Grow, you&rsquo;ll quickly discover how to propagate any houseplant, take cuttings, cultivate runners and offsets, divide plants at the roots and even grow brand new root systems in the air. You&rsquo;ll learn pruning methods that produce no waste, organic rooting medium recipes, and eventually enjoy gifting and swapping newly grown greenery with friends, family and other houseplant hoarders you&rsquo;ll meet along the way.As well as myriad propagation methods, the book includes practical DIY projects to better nurture and display your plant family, including a homemade propagation chamber and simple self-watering planters.
