I for one have a number of houseplants that would look a whole lot better right now if given a pinch or two or three, plus I could potentially enjoy the benefit of more plants from those trimmings, whether to keep or better yet to share. A new book by plant stylist Hilton Carter demystifies multiple methods of making more plants—including by various types of cuttings—and he’s here today to fill us in, including on why rooting in water is his favorite medium of all. 

“The Propagation Handbook,” just out, is Hilton Carter’s fifth book, and you may know him from one of those, or his popular Instagram channel or his merchandise at Target. His latest plant décor collection there—including rotating pots so turning yours to give them even exposure to light is simpler than ever—is also just out. I’m glad to welcome him today for some timely advice on houseplant propagation.
