Floriculture Propagation Methods

Floriculture industry propagators turn to these common propagation methods to create new plants that beautify the world.

Overview

Floriculture propagators use a variety of methods to create new plants and satisfy the demand for healthy, beautiful flowers and foliage. At Oasis Growers Solutions, our propagation substrates and ancillary products can help you achieve your goals for quantity, quality, profitability and sustainability when using these common propagation methods.

Cuttings, Vegetative

Essential to the production of popular cultivars, vegetative cuttings enable floriculture propagators to produce plants identical to the mother plants. With substrates designed for precision vegetative propagation, vegetative cuttings allow you to produce large numbers of quality young plants quickly and efficiently.

Cuttings, Vegetative Callused

Floriculture propagators use callused vegetative cuttings to improve shipping quality, rooting speed and success with challenging or hard-to-root plants. When the cut end of the stem develops a callus or undifferentiated tissue before insertion into substrates designed for vegetative propagation, root development is faster and more robust.

Seed

Seed propagation represents one of the simplest and most cost-effective methods floriculture propagators use to produce new plants. By pairing seed with a quality substrate that supports fast, uniform germination and establishment, you can optimize propagation success and scale your operation readily and economically.

Tissue Culture (Stage III)

Micropropagation through lab-based tissue culture allows floriculture propagators to produce large numbers of pathogen-free, genetically identical plants in a very short time. Substrates that accommodate and nurture the tender roots of Stage III plantlets help you leverage that advantage and respond to demand.
