To quickly expand your garden, the method of propagation in water is the best way. Not only will you get more new plants in no time but this process will keep your hand clean as it says no to soil. In addition, the cuttings do not rot before they form roots, so you can simply apply this way. To succeed, you should remove the lower leaves and flowers from the cut before starting the propagation process. When you see roots appear, it is time to transfer your young plants into the soil.
