What is what?

As a plant enthusiast, it's important to understand the different methods of propagation. Two common methods are using rooted plants and cuttings. While both techniques can be successful, there are distinct differences between the two.

Rooted Plants:

Rooted plants refer to plants that have been grown from seeds or cuttings and have developed a well-established root system. These plants are typically more mature and have a higher chance of survival when transplanted into a new environment.

At Hawaii Plant Company, we specialize in providing high-quality rooted plants sourced from Hawaii. Our Bird of Paradise Seeds, Guava Fruit Seeds, and Hawaiian Chilli Pepper Seeds are carefully nurtured until they develop strong root systems. This ensures that our customers receive healthy and thriving plants that are ready to be planted in their own homes.

When purchasing rooted plants, you can expect the following benefits:

• Established Root System: Rooted plants have a well-developed root system, which allows them to absorb water and nutrients more efficiently.
• Higher Success Rate: Due to their maturity, rooted plants have a higher chance of survival when transplanted.
• Immediate Growth: Rooted plants are already established and will start growing immediately after being planted.

Cuttings:

Cuttings, on the other hand, are portions of a plant that are cut and then rooted to grow into a new plant. This method is commonly used for plants that are difficult to grow from seeds or for propagating specific traits of a plant.

While cuttings can be successful, they require more care and attention compared to rooted plants. Here are some key points to consider when working with cuttings:

• Root Development: Cuttings need to develop roots before they can grow into a full-fledged plant. This process can take time and requires proper care and conditions.
• Variable Success Rate: The success rate of cuttings can vary depending on the plant species, environmental conditions, and the skill of the gardener.
• Patience and Dedication: Growing plants from cuttings requires patience and dedication as you wait for the roots to develop and the plant to grow.

At Hawaii Plant Company, we do offer cuttings for certain plant varieties. However, we recommend rooted plants for beginners or those looking for a higher success rate.

Whether you choose rooted plants or cuttings, Hawaii Plant Company is committed to providing you with the highest quality seeds and plants. Our expertise in sourcing and nurturing tropical plants ensures that you can enjoy the beauty of Hawaii in your own home.
