Great book
Very informative book. Lots of detailed photos and information. The book is a little on the pricy side but it covers all types of plants and how to properly maintain and propagate them. Highly recommend this book for both beginners and experienced gardening. I've been growing plants for 20 years and this book is one of the best I've purchased by far. I purchased it for my daughter who learns better from reading and pictures than hands on. She absolutely loves this book and it's helped her gain confidence in propagating her orchids.

Wish I had found this YEARS AGO!
What a wonderful, informative book. I wish I had found it earlier in my gardening years, it would've saved me so much money, time and disappointment!

Holy grail of plant propagation!
I had been experimenting with basic plant cuttings with varying results and was disappointed by the lack of detailed information available on the internet to figure out where I was going wrong. This book is exactly what I was looking for. There is a primer at the beginning of the book to help you with the techniques followed by plant-by-plant instruction for each method of propagation, complete with visual aides. I learned more in two pages of this book than I did from hopping around from blog to blog, video to video for months. If you are looking for an authoritative guide on plant propagation, save yourself from frustration and pick up this book.
