Study Notes
Plant Propagation Methods
- Lemongrass is propagated by plant dividing, specifically using the offsets, and should be planted in early spring.
- The used part of lemongrass is the leaves and stem.
Rosemary Propagation
- Rosemary can be grown from seed, but cultivars do not retain their original characteristics, so semi-ripe cuttings are used for propagation.
Calendula Propagation and Care
- Seed is the primary method of propagation for the calendula plant.
- Calendula requires a moderate amount of water, which is dependent on the type of soil it's planted in.
