There are two ways in which propagation of plant takes place namely the sexual and the asexual type of reproduction. Asexual reproduction is also called as vegetative propagation. The sexual type of propagation takes place with the help of seeds and spores. The asexual type of reproduction takes place with the help of using some part of the original plant such as the stem, Leaves and the roots. Generally the plants that are planted in the house are of the shrub types, or the tree types, or the herbaceous perennials. It is very difficult to grow such plants from the seed stage. Thus the propagation of such plants is done by vegetative means.

Plant propagation supplies are generally needed for growing indoor plants in containers. Also the supply is needed for the proper germination of seeds. There are no special requirements of a container. The only thing is that they should be deep enough to accommodate the roots of the plants that are to be grown in it. One should also understand that the containers of these plants should be very clean, disease and insect free. In addition to this the containers should have a capacity to supply proper air to the plants. That means the containers made of clay and sand are more porous and can provide better air to the roots of the plants than the plastic containers.

The main responsibility of the rooting media is that they must provide enough water and oxygen to the root of the plants. The rooting media must be free of diseases, insects and pests. The basic requirement of the rooting media is that it should contain some part of sand, peat moss, perlite vermiculture, or a combination of all these.

The hormones required for rooting the plants are available in the garden supply stores. These hormones generally include chemical substances. These chemical substances increase the rooting percentage of the plants. The hormone used for rooting the plants increases the quality and the quantity of the plant growth. There are some plants species which are difficult to root. The rooting hormones are helpful for the growth of such difficult rooting plants. Automatic misting of these propagating plants can be done by making use of the new techniques these days. The light, temperature and humidity requirements are to be set properly for the efficient growth of these plants.

Thus there are many different types of supplies that are available in garden stores that can be useful to the gardener. One can make use of these because these hormones can ensure proper growth of the plants. There are some important tips that are written on the bags in which garden supplies are available. One should follow those instructions for the successful growth of these plants.
