One benefit of houseplants: They’re easy to grow, and easy to share.
Learn how to turn a few houseplants into an indoor jungle during a special propagation workshop, hosted by Green Acres Nursery & Supply.
At 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, “Propagation 101” – an introduction to propagating houseplants via cuttings – will be offered at Green Acres’ Roseville location. It’s a practical skill that offers years of enjoyment (and savings).
“Spread the joy of houseplants from pot to pot or house to house!” say the hosts. “Our houseplant guru, Rocky, will teach you how to propagate houseplants from cuttings and transplant your newly rooted starts.”
Workshop fee is $25 and advance registration is required. The class is limited to 25 participants.
Ticket includes all the materials to start propagating: four cuttings of your choice, a propagation kit, curved razor snips and instructions. The cutting selection includes several standout begonias.
Green Acres is located at 7300 Galilee Road, Roseville. The workshop will be held in the nursery’s Plant Bar.

Garden Checklist for week of May 4
Enjoy this spring weather – and get gardening!
* Plant, plant, plant! It’s prime planting season in the Sacramento area. Time to set out those tomato transplants along with peppers and eggplants. Pinch off any flowers on new transplants to make them concentrate on establishing roots instead of setting premature fruit.
* Direct-seed melons, cucumbers, summer squash, corn, radishes, pumpkins and annual herbs such as basil.
* Harvest cabbage, lettuce, peas and green onions.
* In the flower garden, direct-seed sunflowers, cosmos, salvia, zinnias, marigolds, celosia and asters. (You also can transplant seedlings for many of the same flowers.)
* Plant dahlia tubers. Other perennials to set out include verbena, coreopsis, coneflower and astilbe.
* Transplant petunias, marigolds and perennial flowers such as astilbe, columbine, coneflowers, coreopsis, dahlias, rudbeckia and verbena.
* Keep an eye out for slugs, snails, earwigs and aphids that want to dine on tender new growth.
* Feed summer bloomers with a balanced fertilizer.
* For continued bloom, cut off spent flowers on roses as well as other flowering plants.
* Add mulch to the garden to maintain moisture. Mulch also cuts down on weeds. But don’t let it mound around the stems or trunks of trees or shrubs. Leave about a 6-inch to 1-foot circle to avoid crown rot or other problems.
