Participants are encouraged to bring their own herbaceous plants to share. Feltz will have plants to share as well as tissue cultures of new varieties which were grown in sterile conditions from germ cells in clean rooms by students at the University of Wisconsin. We will provide 8" to 10" pots, 3" pots and growth medium. This will be a rather dirty endeavor so dress accordingly.

| Propagating by leaf cutting. |
Assemble and bring with you a small kit of necessary tools and supplies: a pair of tweezers, a by-pass pruner, a 1 to 10 sanitizing solution of chlorine and water (10 parts water, 1 part bleach) in a spray bottle or a can of Lysol disinfectant spray, powdered rooting hormone, a spray bottle of plain water, a clear garbage bag and a small cutting board that can be sanitized.
