If you have a lot of plants that often need trimming, propagation is a great way to grow new plants for yourself or your friends from cuttings, and having a propagation station can make the process fun and add style to your home.
What is a Propagation Station?
A plant propagation station is a spot or space for you to propagate your plants. You can use something as simple as a mason jar or cup or you can use a planter that’s built specifically for propagation.
While using any cup of water can do the job – you can show off your plant babies and your green thumb with plant propagation stations built for display – you can even fill an entire wall with plants!
