Plant Propagator careers
A Plant Propagator is responsible for growing new plants from seeds, cuttings, grafting, or other methods to produce stock for nurseries, gardens, reforestation efforts, or agricultural use. This role involves selecting and preparing plant materials, maintaining optimal growing conditions, monitoring plant health, and ensuring proper documentation of propagation activities.
Plant Propagators typically work in nurseries, botanical gardens, or horticultural enterprises, and may use both traditional and modern propagation techniques. Attention to detail, strong knowledge of plant biology, and hands-on horticultural experience are important aspects of the job. Work can be physically demanding and may involve outdoor tasks in varying weather conditions.
