ABSTRACT:
The disclosed method and apparatus include steps and means for providing a supply of aqueous nutrient liquid to the cut end of each of one or more cuttings such as cut flowers and small branches for sustaining life processes, and for coupling the cut interface of each such cutting to the liquid supply. The lateral surface of each cutting is usually covered at and adjacent the cut end. This covering inhibits contamination and deterioration of the nutrient liquid during protracted periods of growth. For many kinds of cuttings, the nutrient liquid is applied to the ends of the cuttings at a distinctly higher pressure than that which is present incidentally at the cut ends of flowers in a vase.
