Make More Plants by Layering

There are lots of ways to make more of your favorite plants. But it doesn't get any simpler than layering.

Layering makes propagating many of your favorite shrubs, vines, and perennials a cinch. In fact, it's how many plants spread in nature -- and you might even find that some of the plants in your yard are already layering themselves.

Layering means you bend a branch down until it makes contact with the soil. Allow it to grow roots while it's still attached to the mother plant. Once it develops a strong, healthy root system, cut the branch from the main plant and transplant it.

Check out instructions for layering your plants on the next page.
