The propagation station is accepting donations of plant cuttings and recently divided plants. We are also accepting glass and some plastic containers.
Email Ken Alvarez at Kalvare4@mdc.edu or drop off your plant donation to the Homestead Campus Learning Commons room D101.
If you have a plant that you can no longer care for, feel free to contact Ken to make arrangements to rehome your plant.
We are now accepting plant cuttings and glass and plastic containers for the propagation station, which will be housed in the Homestead Library, D101 until the end of Spring.
Drop off plant cuttings with Ken Alvarez in Room D113-09 or with our library front desk staff.
Drop off glass and plastic containers in the donation box/ bin in the library. Ask our front desk staff for help if needed.
On April 17th, attend our Adopt-A-Plant event to receive a free plant.
Most of the plants within the propagation station were rooted using water. As mentioned in our Plant Care Tips, not all plants can be rooted in water, but water propagation is an exciting method that allows you to view the plant's roots as they develop and grow over time. With adequate light and changing the water every 12-14 days, plants propagated in water can begin growing roots in 30 days. These plants began their propagation process in early May and are ready to be adopted.
Use the arrows to scroll through the gallery of plants that are available for adoption. You will find the common and scientific name for each plant listed alongside an image of the plant. We have multiples available for most of the plants on this page. Adoption for each plant is first come, first serve.
