Basal cuttings are one of the easiest ways to expand your garden in spring, giving you healthy, true-to-type new plants from the perennials you already love. With the right timing and a few simple steps, spring propagation can turn one sturdy plant into several, making cloning plants both practical and rewarding.
Bottom watering can be a smart way to keep seedlings evenly moist without disturbing tender stems, especially when you want better seedling roots and more precise moisture control. But if tray watering leaves the mix too wet, it can encourage fungus gnats and slow the drying cycle young plants need.
