Starting from the fact that many plant species reproduce in ways different from seed propagation, giving rise to new individuals through the emission of roots and buds which, after separation from the parent plant, can live independently – this book, published in the Our Garden collection, supports those interested in understanding and controlling the propagation of plants in their own garden.

These special forms of reproduction offer significant advantages for the grower: they accelerate growth time and anticipate the flowering and fruiting periods. Through simple explanations, easy to understand by everyone, and illustrative images, this book presents propagation techniques suitable for each plant species: from houseplants to fruit trees and various vegetable species.

Vegetative propagation methods are easy to implement, accessible even to those who carry out these operations for pleasure, as a hobby. By following the instructions in this book and "arming" yourself with a little attention and a minimum of botanical knowledge, you will be able to beneficially intervene in the controlled propagation of plants in your garden, with the aim of obtaining the desired harvest.
