Propagating Class

Service Description

Propagation is the art of taking a small cutting from a healthy “mother” plant and growing it into a brand-new plant. Instead of starting from seed and waiting weeks for growth, propagation gives you a head start and faster results. 🌿 Why Propagation Matters for Lavender Lavender grown from seed often becomes a hybrid, meaning it won’t be identical to the parent plant. If you want to grow the same beautiful cultivars you see in our fields, propagation is the way to do it. It allows you to recreate the exact plant you love. ✂️ Learn From Experience Propagation isn’t always easy. Some plants root quickly, while others can be more challenging.
