Nursery Propagation Methods

Propagators in the nursery industry rely on these common propagation methods to create new plants for a variety of purposes.

Overview

Nursery propagators work with a wide range of plants from ornamentals and medicinal crops to industrial hemp, orchard crops and reforestation seedlings. At Oasis Grower Solutions, our propagation substrates and ancillary production aids can help you achieve your nursery goals from greenhouse propagation through container field production.

Cuttings, Vegetative

Vegetative cuttings enable nursery propagators to produce plants identical to the cutting source, a process crucial to reproducing popular nursery cultivars. With substrates designed for precision vegetative propagation, vegetative cuttings can help you accelerate nursery production effectively and efficiently.

Seed

Propagation from seed is one of the simplest and most cost-effective methods nursery 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 nursery operation readily and economically.

Tissue Culture (Stage III)

Lab-based micropropagation allows nursery propagators to take small pieces of plant tissue and produce large numbers of pathogen-free, genetically identical plants in a very short time. Substrates that nurture the tender roots of Stage III plantlets help you leverage that advantage and optimize performance.
