Task
5. Five ways to propagate, and grow a plant by one of them
Required Often forgotten
Seeds, roots, cuttings, tubers and grafting explained, then one of them actually done. Everybody grows something on this badge, whichever option they choose.
Notes and warnings
Note. Whichever option you choose at requirement 8, this one still applies: everybody grows a plant on this badge. The options differ in scale, not in whether there is growing at all.
Where this step comes from
- Plant Science Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 5 · Requires one of the five propagation methods to be carried out, not merely described, which is why every reader of this badge grows something.
