Cuttings, divisions and rooting

Splitting a plant makes new plants that keep the parent in their family tree. A cutting stays a cutting until you mark it rooted.

Free on every plan
  1. Open the plant and choose Split (on the phone, Propagate).
  2. Say how many, the method (division, cutting, leaf…), and what to name them.
  3. Each new plant gets its own ID and label, with the parent recorded.

A cutting shows a banner with the day count and a rooting check date. When it has roots, choose Mark rooted: it becomes an active plant and the days it took are kept.

On the phone: the cutting's day count and its rooting check, with Mark rooted.
