9 Propagation Stations (Starting at $8) for People Who Like Free Plants and Beautiful Decor

Plants are gifts that just keep on giving. Not only can they help enliven a room and contribute to your best culinary creations, but through a little magic called propagation, you can have more of your favorite plants without needing to go out and buy them.

For the uninitiated, propagation consists of taking cuttings from a plant and growing them into their own separate entities. You certainly don’t need anything fancy to get started (cups of water and a pair of scissors will do), but once you have the art of propagation down to a T, it’s time to treat yourself to a station that’ll allow you to do it with ease. The proper tools will ensure propagating your plants goes off without a hitch and that your leafy friends look stylish while they’re growing into a fresh, potable plant.

Here are 9 different propagation stations you’ll want to “Add to Cart” ASAP.
