Working in a retail nursery, we mostly buy in our stock, however sometimes we grow certain lines on site. I love propagation, I think it taps into my love of order and repetition.
Today I took cuttings of Pig Face or Mesembryanthemum.
This plant is a bit of a granny favorite. It really suits areas that prove hard to establish, tolerating poor and dry soils. Their main claim to fame though is the mass of flowers produced in spring.
