Many Native Plants are Herbaceous Perennials Dodecatheon hendersonni is found in gary oak Meadows There are some on the Tamagawa Campus Common name is Shooting star
Propagation Ways We have look at seed propagation Sometimes Seed propagation not best way to make a plant
Problems with Seed Propagation Seeds Sometimes plants produce seeds that will not grow Sometimes plants grown from seed take plant many years to make flowers One way to make problems go away is to use another way to propagate or make plant
Ways of Propagation The way of Propagation we will look at today and practice on Friday October 17 at Imperial Greenhouses is call Division We will be using black colored pots that are called One Gallon Pot
One Gallon Pot One Gallon Pot is used much in British Columbia One Gallon Pot
One Gallon pot is 8cm in diameter One Gallon Pot Diameter Yellow measuring tape is showing diameter size
One Gallon Pot One Gallon Pot is 8cm tall Yellow Measuring tape show how tall One Gallon Pot is
Division of Herbaceous Perennials One plant Two Plants The way of Division is to make many plants by cutting or using hands to pull plant into many plants Division takes one plant and makes many plants from the one plant
