Sharing Plants With Your Friends
One of the great joys of gardening is sharing plants with friends. And many plants can be reproduced without the long process of cross pollination and seed production; you can just take a part of the existing plant and tend it until new roots or shoots form. There are several ways to do this.
Quite a few plants have the ability to grow new roots from pieces of stems that have been separated from the parent. These are referred to as stem cuttings. Some plants will only form roots on the stems of tender soft tissue, while others, such as shrubs, will only form roots on older, firmer stems.
