Life with a potted plant is undeniably better. And better yet, the ability to grow and replicate new, healthy houseplants without ever having to visit a garden center again is truly remarkable. Learn to share, swap, and celebrate the miraculous methods of multiplying all of your favorites at almost no cost at all.

And here's the secret: it's really, really easy. Plants are designed to multiply.

Even for the beginner indoor gardener, a single leaf can hold enough life to be successfully grown into a brand-new plant.

With "Root, Nurture, Grow," you'll quickly discover how to propagate any houseplant, take cuttings, cultivate runners and offsets, divide plants at the roots, and even grow brand-new root systems in the air. You'll learn pruning methods that produce no waste, organic rooting medium recipes, and eventually enjoy gifting and swapping newly grown greenery with friends, family, and other houseplant hoarders you'll meet along the way.

As well as myriad propagation methods, the book includes practical DIY projects to better nurture and display your plant family, including a homemade propagation chamber and simple self-watering planters.
