Making New Plants from Your  Plants                    

Does a friend or relative have a plant you love but you have not been able to find one like it to purchase? Is your plant is getting too large, needing to be cut back but you hate to throw away what you remove? Join us to learn how you can grow a new plant from the cutting(s).

Sheri Bethard, President of the Master Gardeners of Montgomery County will be hosting a Plant Propagation class Saturday, March 29, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Exhibit Hall on the 4-H Fairgrounds. This class is FREE to all interested in learning how to propagate new plants from plants you currently have.

We will provide all the necessary supplies needed and show how to grow new plants from cuttings, along with other ways of making new plants. You only need to bring is a fresh cutting about 6-8 inches long with you to the class.

Best time to take the cutting is just prior to coming to class. Wrap the stem with a wet paper towel and place in a bag for transporting to  class. If you are not able to take the cutting the morning of our class, you can do as above and put in the refrigerator overnight but be sure the paper towel stays moist. If you do not have a plant to take a cutting from, we will have some available to use.
