Plant Propagation

SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS/PROCESSES

• Investigate plant cloning
• Reproduce plants from parts other than seeds or spores

Introduce your students to the concept of plant cloning. The same technique of vegetative or non-sexual reproduction used in commercial labs is examined in this kit. Plants are reproduced from parts other than seeds or spores. The specially designed Lab-Aids® propagators provide the proper environmental conditions for students to achieve almost certain success. The propagator closely controls and eliminates troublesome steps which can cause failure so that everything from African Violets to shrubs can be rooted.

This kit, designed for 10 students, can be used multiple times. It contains everything for the activity except the actual “cuttings.”
