| Weather you're sowing seeds or raising plants by cuttings, nothing beats growing plants for your own garden, and for me it's that very process that gets any gardener into this hobby, passion or career. The propagation of your own plants is a great way of obtaining new plants or simply making more plants of a particular favourite for you or your friends garden, it can also be a cost effective way filling your ever shrinking garden and your passion. Even with no experience, propagation from seed or from cuttings can achieve excellent reults, why not try it for yourself and see how easy it is! |
| Equipment :- Seed trays are fairly inexpensive and sometimes come with their own tops giving you a good propagator that will hold several cuttings. Plastic pots, these also are inexpensive to buy but even used butter trays and yoghurt pots can be used as seed trays and pots, and can raise just as good plants and summer bedding, even inner toilet roll tubes grow many a gardener's sweet pea seedlings year after year with great success. |  |

Standards :- Many plant species can be trained into the 'standard' form, many look so good it's almost as though they were always meant to be grown to that shape, the fuchsia is one of these and hundreds of different varieties make excellent standards. Depending on how long you can wait or how long you want the stem to be, some rooted fuchsia cuttings can be trained within their first year, miniature, quarter, half and full standards can all be grown from just one variety. With a little more effort than it takes to grow a bush fuchsia, and a little more patience anyone can create a standard that will not only give years of pleasure, but will mature into a real top quality show plant! Start your fuchsia standard off today with this easy |
