Create several new plants from one houseplant by taking 'cuttings' this month. 
In around two weeks, you’ll have several new plants with roots to pot up and share with friends and family.  Easy to do and rewarding results - engage the senses in this activity, which can be adapted for all abilities.

Adaptive tip

No need for specialist equipment to make cuttings. 
Use a clean pair of hands or scissors to nip or cut the stem of the plant and remove excess leaves to create your cuttings. 
Look out for the symbols indicating which activities build or suit those with specific skills and abilities in our Year Round Garden Activities Book
