A collection of earlier references to plant propagation come form a Greek philosopher, Theopahrastus (circa 300 BC) and disciple of Aristotle, who described many aspects of plant propagation, including seeds, cuttings, layering and grafting. This is the process where one create new plants that are identical to the parent plant. The most common way is by growing roots from a cutting in water. You can propagate from a leaf, splitting and dividing plants. Propagating is the best way to expand your plant collection. This seems to always be more fun than purchasing them. I am sure that you will agree that there is absolutely nothing more rewarding than to see your propagated plants flourish. In my experience this is the method that requires the least skill and effort. Make your cutting so that the node will be on the piece of vine that you will place in water. Wait a few weeks for the roots to grow. Repot once the roots are between 5 - 6cm. The division method can be used for a large variety of plants. Remove the plant from it's pot and loosen the root ball. Gently untangle the roots if needed. Remove the pups and repot these with fresh soil, dampen and care for it as usual.Leaf propagation may be the only means of propagation for some plants. As with everything, patience, love and tender care is always key. Rooting stem cuttings is the most reliable way to propagate hybrid plants. This is also such an exciting way to clone your favourite plants as it is a complete genetic match of the parent plant.
EazyPlug Plugs - Seedling / Cutting Trays with Plugs
Regular price R60.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%EazyPlug has, with its organic materials and special way of bonding, a predetermined pH and EC value and a fixed air-to-water ratio. The EazyPlug is very easy to use. Just make sure that the plug always can drain the excess water and you cannot overwater it. Because the growing conditions are always optimal, the EazyPlug creates very fast and powerful rooting and germination.
Germinating seeds
Fully moisten the plug and put your seed in the seed hole. Put a thin layer of top-soil on top of the plug and spray thoroughly with water. Make sure the plug can drain excess water and put it away in a humid and warm environment. Then wait to see the miracle happening. It is that simple!
Strike cuttings
Fully moisten the plug and put your cutting all the way into the cutting hole. Make sure the EazyPlug can drain excess water and put it away in a humid and warm environment. No rooting gel or powder is necessary.
Easy to transplant
The Eazy Plug will always remain firmly bonded together as a whole. This minimizes the risk on root damage during sorting, transplanting or replanting, thus preventing the plant from diseases.
Limitless shelf life
The Eazy Plug is supplied dried, making it clean and lightweight, with limitless shelf life and no risk of molds. It takes water back up very easily and quickly, retaining all of its former characteristics.

Eazy Block - Seedling / Cutting Block
Regular price R25.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Eazy Block: stronger and faster rooting than anything else on the market
The Eazy Block is the next evolution in sustainable growing media. Enhancing all of the superb characteristics of the Eazy Plug. From its predetermined and buffered pH and EC values, to its self regulating air-to-water ratio. It is extremely versatile and will perform in any application and in all available cultivating system. And the wonderful thing is, it is very easy to use.
Due to air pruning the root structure will be very dense
Eazy Block is very well bonded, so it needs no plastic wrapping. Without the plastic covering the roots stop growing when reaching the outside of the block. At this point air pruning takes place. This means that the primary roots stop growing beyond the Eazy Block because they get exposed to the relatively dry air and dieback. That will stimulate an abundant growth of secondary roots and root hair, that wil spread throughout the entire Eazy Block. The effect will generate a very well developed root system with a maximized absorption capability for the best possible intake of nutrients and fluids. There is no doubt that in this fully natural environment your plant will have the strongest and healthiest start possible.
It has unlimited shelf live
The Eazy Block is supplied dried, so it is very lightweight and clean. Accordingly there is no risk of molds and shelf live is unlimited.
The dry Eazy Block is designed to absorb water very easily and it does it astonishing quickly, whilst preserving all of its original characteristics.
Eazy Block Characteristics
Model : block Weight dried : 35 gr

Compatibility
All known growing media, like Rock Wool, coir pith, black and white peat, garden soil, potting soil, soil-less mixes, bark fines and wood mulch, sand and grit, wood fibers, perlite, pumice, clay and vermiculite.
Employability
Hydroponic systems like eb&flow, drip-feed (recovery and non-recovery), nutrient film technique, wick systems, floating platforms, deep water culture, Aquaponic systems, Dry hydroponics, Soil (indoor and outdoor)
Re-moistening time when completely dehydrated
Composting
100% in normal composting conditions, no industrial composting necessary.
Declared: bonding of components has no discernible effect on compostability.
Safety
Declared: material meets safety requirements of REACH.
Toxicity
Declared: non-toxic.
Denature after cultivation
Block contains plug with cutting stem and callus and can, in potency, contain a regenerative capacity and needs to be denatured by either a strong acid or base, concentrated inorganic salts, organic solvents (alcohol or chloroform), radiation or heat.
Cultivation details
To make use of air pruning effect, usage of the Block without sleeve is strongly advised.
In such case photosynthetic algae like green algae can occur. This does not effect plant life and is only an optical issue. Green algae can be easily treated with fungicides and/or a light copper solution.
EazyPlug Pyramid - Hydroponic Seed Starting
Regular price R260.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Stronger, healthier plants in less time
The EazyPlug Pyramid is an amazing new development for the horticultural sector. Its optimized growing volume, equivalent to 13,5 ltr, is enough for a whole crop cycle. It is also enhancing all of the unsurpassed characteristics of the Eazy Plug. Like predetermined and buffered pH and EC values, or the completely self regulating air-to-water ratio. You could truly say that the Eazy Pyramid is the next evolution in organic growing.
Dense root structure caused by air pruning
EazyPlug Pyramid is bonded firmly to be used without a plastic wrapping. This way roots will stop growing when meeting air at the outside of the block. As a result the roots will start growing new root branches inside the block, seriously increasing the number of absorbing rootlets in the block and creating a much more dense rooting system. It is called the air pruning effect. This way the absorption capability of the root structure is maximized for the best possible intake of nutrients and fluids.
Limitless shelf life
The EazyPlug Pyramid is supplied dried, making it clean and lightweight, with limitless shelf life and no risk of molds. A dry EazyPlug Pyramid takes water back up very easily and quickly, retaining all of its former characteristics. So altogether easy to use.
Fast and healthy plant development
As a result the effective root surface area of your plant will be much bigger, and with it the uptake of water with the beneficial nutrients you are adding. Your plant will grow faster, will be healthier and produce higher yields than in any other available growing medium.
