How to Track Plant Propagation with a Source-Linked Log

For each propagation, record the plant, propagation method, start date, growing conditions, and dated observations.

For water-rooted houseplant cuttings, Iowa State Extension advises changing water one to two times weekly and transplanting at about one inch of roots.
