Lesson 1 — Welcome to the Group What the group is, who it’s for, and what people can ask. Lesson 2 — What We’ll Be Teaching Bulbs, seeds, propagation, seasonal planting, plant care, behind-the-scenes nursery work, and Australian growing advice. Lesson 3 — Ask Us Anything A post asking people what they want help with first.

Propagation is one of the best parts of gardening, because you get to create new plants from material you already have. In this short video, I’m showing a simple way to take a Mandevilla cutting. The idea is to start with healthy stem material, clean your cutting tools, remove some of the lower leaves, and prepare the cutting so it can put its energy into forming roots instead of trying to support too much foliage.
