Celebrate houseplants with propagation workshop

It’s time to pay attention to our indoor gardens. Friday (Jan. 10) is National Houseplant Appreciation Day in the U.S. That one-day commemoration is growing; an effort in the United Kingdom is promoting an international Houseplant Week (Jan. 6-12), encouraging people to appreciate the benefits of indoor gardening.

One benefit of houseplants: They’re easy to grow, and easy to share.

Learn how to turn a few houseplants into an indoor jungle during a special propagation workshop, hosted by Green Acres Nursery & Supply.

At 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, “Propagation 101” – an introduction to propagating houseplants via cuttings – will be offered at Green Acres’ Roseville location. It’s a practical skill that offers years of enjoyment (and savings).

“Spread the joy of houseplants from pot to pot or house to house!” say the hosts. “Our houseplant guru, Rocky, will teach you how to propagate houseplants from cuttings and transplant your newly rooted starts.”

Workshop fee is $25 and advance registration is required. The class is limited to 25 participants.

Ticket includes all the materials to start propagating: four cuttings of your choice, a propagation kit, curved razor snips and instructions. The cutting selection includes several standout begonias.

Green Acres is located at 7300 Galilee Road, Roseville. The workshop will be held in the nursery’s Plant Bar.
