The common method of propagation
are through potting the plantlets from the parent plant or by potting running Spider plant, spider ivy, Chloropytum comosum stems of the spider plant.
Cactaceae
Cacti can be propagated by seed,
cuttings or grafting Reproduction by cuttings makes use of parts of a plant that can grow roots Grafting is used for species difficult to grow well in cultivation or that cannot grow cactus independently Jatropha podagrica can be propagated through seeds, stem cuttings, offsets, or division. Seeds are sown in well- draining soil, while stem cuttings and offsets are planted after allowing their cut ends to callus. Division involves Jatropha , Budda Bellt, separating the plant into smaller gout stick Jatropha podagrica clumps and replanting them
Asparagus ferns can be propagated
through division, where mature plants are separated into smaller sections with both roots and foliage. It can also be propagated by seed however this is less common and takes longer time to reach maturity. Healthy stem cuttings can Asparagus Asparagus fern also be planted in the soil or media. They are best propagated by division The iris can also be grown from seed, after allowing the mature pods to dry on the plant. Then breaking open to Irish plant Irish sp. collect seeds.

Cacti thrive in bright, indirect

Well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix, is They are green in colour and have essential to prevent root rot, fleshy succulent stems that are major and watering should be organs of photosynthesis. They have infrequent, allowing the soil absent, small, or transient leaves. They to dry out completely between have flowers with ovaries that lie below waterings. Cacti prefer low to the sepals and petals, often deeply moderate humidity levels and sunken into a fleshy receptacle (the part benefit from occasional of the stem from which the flower parts misting in very dry grow). All cacti have areoles—highly conditions. Fertilize sparingly specialized short shoots with extremely during the growing season and short internodes that produce spines, repot every 1-3 years in spring normal shoots, and flowers. using fresh potting mix. Jatropha podagrica thrives in warm temperatures between 70-90°F (21-32°C) during the day and prefers nighttime temperatures around 50-55°F (10-13°C). It requires plenty of sunlight, well-draining soil, and moderate watering, allowing the soil to partially dry between waterings. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season and ensure containers have proper drainage to prevent It has a unique swollen stem that looks waterlogging. like a rounded belly. It has green leaves with jagged edges and produces small, red flowers and round fruits. This plant is about 1 meter tall and can spread from new shoots growing near its base.
Asparagus ferns are characterized by
their delicate, feathery foliage composed of numerous needle-like leaflets arranged along arching stems. They typically have a cascading or Asparagus ferns thrive in climbing growth habit and produce bright, indirect light and small, round berries after flowering. moderate temperatures They may also bear small white or between 65-75°F (18-24°C) pinkish flowers. Some species may have and cannot tolerate freezing spiky thorns along the stems. temperatures. It needs a moist soil but not waterlogged. It needs a moderate to high humid environment as well a regular pruning to remove dead or damaged fronds prefers well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic soil with a pH level above 5.6. Incorporating organic material like compost or manure is beneficial, especially in sandy or clay- rich soils. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, particularly in hot, arid regions where some shade, watering, and mulching are necessary. During the growing season (spring and early summer), consistent moisture is essential for optimal blooming, although it can tolerate occasional flooding Siberian Iris (Iris sibirica) is but not standing water. characterized by its creeping rhizome, Siberian Iris is suitable for forming dense clumps, covered with various garden locations, brown remnants of old leaves. It has including waterside areas, bog grass-like green leaves, ribbed with a gardens, and herbaceous pink tinge at the base, growing up to 80 borders. It can also be used in cm long. The hollow, slender stems, up mixed plantings with grasses to 120 cm tall, bear 2-5 blue flowers in and other perennials to create the wet season and early part of the dry naturalized gardens and season.. Each flower has 3 brown paper- meadows. Siberian Iris can like spathes and measures 6-7 cm in withstand temperatures up to - diameter. The petals consist of drooping 20°C (-4°F). obovate falls with a white blade and dark-blue to violet veining, and narrow upright standards. The plant's perianth tube is light to dark blue-violet, with a pale blue style and triangular ovary.
