Sowing
Our seeds are coming mainly from suppliers reputed for their seriousness. A growing part is also coming from the controlled pollination of our mother plants. And at last, a small amount comes from reasoned collections made during our travels.
Cuttings
It is the way of multiplying plants that do little or no fruit like certain Adenia, Cissus, Euphorbia…, or to keep identical a plant whose foliage, flowers are appreciated, or which comes from a precise locality like Aloe, Adromischus, Gasteria…
Grafting
