PROPAGATION LESSON

Growing together: Sharing skills with Trinity Presbyterian Church

UWC Nature Reserve Unit Nursery | Community Outreach Programme

The UWC Nature Reserve Unit Nursery recently welcomed a group from Trinity Presbyterian Church in Meadowridge for a hands-on plant propagation lesson as part of our community outreach programme.

Trinity Presbyterian Church is actively involved in gardening through its outreach initiative, which supports children at a foster home in Tokai. The ladies who attended the session are involved in maintaining their church garden and were eager to expand their knowledge of gardening and plant care.

The visit provided an opportunity for knowledge-sharing, practical learning and a shared appreciation for the role that gardening can play in strengthening communities.

Preparing for a practical propagation session at the UWC Nature Reserve Unit Nursery.

Learning through hands-on propagation

During the session, participants were introduced to different vegetative propagation techniques, gaining practical experience in how new plants can be produced from existing plant material.

Five plant species were selected for the practical lesson, each demonstrating a different propagation approach:

Jordaaniella dubia – Stem cuttings

Healthy stem cuttings were prepared and planted in a suitable growing medium to demonstrate how this indigenous succulent can be propagated vegetatively. Participants learned that propagation allows gardeners to increase their plant stock from existing plants, reducing the need to purchase new plants and making it possible to share plants within their communities. 

Chlorophytum comosum – Plantlets

The plantlets produced by the parent plant were carefully removed and prepared for planting. Each plantlet was placed in a container containing a well-drained growing medium and watered to encourage root development and establishment. The plant can also be propagated through division.

Crassula tetragona – Stem cuttings

Healthy stem cuttings, approximately 7 cm long were prepared to demonstrate how this succulent can be propagated to produce new plants. No rooting hormone was used. The cuttings were then planted in a well-drained growing medium.

Crassula spathulata – Stem cuttings

Mature and straight stems were selected, cuttings were made just below a leaf node (the point where a leaf attaches to the stem). The lower leaves were removed to expose the nodes, which were then placed in a well-drained growing medium. No rooting was used as this species roots readily. The stem cuttings for Crassula spathulata (uguwe) can be taken throughtout the year.

Ledebouria socialis – Bulb division

Participants learned how to separate bulbs or offsets from the parent plant. The plant was carefully removed from its container and excess soil was brushed away to expose the bulbs and their roots systems.  Individual offsets (small bulbs) with established roots were gently separated from the parent plant, taking care to minimise root damage. The separated bulbs were then planted individually in a well-drained growing medium. When planting, the lower half of each bulb was covered with soil, leaving the upper half exposed. Watering was kept moderate to allow the newly planted bulbs to establish and pot them individually. 

In addition to these techniques, a leaf-cutting propagation demonstration was also conducted, introducing participants to another method of producing new plants from existing plant material.

The practical activities highlighted that different plants require different propagation methods. Participants also gained an understanding of the importance of suitable growing media, careful handling of plant material, watering and aftercare to encourage successful plant establishment.

Learning together: Participants engaging in a practical propagation lesson at the nursery.

Growing skills beyond the garden

One of the most encouraging aspects of this visit was Trinity Presbyterian Church's vision of extending the knowledge gained beyond their church garden and into their wider communities.

By equipping individuals with practical gardening skills, we contribute towards building confidence, encouraging environmental awareness and creating opportunities for people to share their knowledge with others.

At the UWC Nature Reserve Unit Nursery, we believe that gardening is more than just growing plants. It is also about building connections, sharing knowledge and encouraging people to become active participants in caring for their environment.

We would like to thank the group from Trinity Presbyterian Church for joining us, their enthusiasm and their willingness to learn. We hope the skills gained during the session will continue to grow in their church garden, the foster home in Tokai and their respective communities.

Together, we grow more than plants!

We grow knowledge, connections and greener communities.

TREES WE REMEMBER

Reflections from the South African Tree Symposium

25 September 2026 · Z. Maphanga

I recently attended the inaugural South African Tree Symposium at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. Being surrounded by people who share a deep appreciation for trees reminded me of something I have always known: I love trees.

Although my current work as a horticulturist often centres around groundcovers, shrubs, indigenous plants and nursery production, my love for trees has never disappeared.

Years ago, while working at Kirstenbosch, a colleague asked whether I was a “downer” or an “upper”. The question was whether I looked down at the groundcover and shrubs or up at the trees. My answer was immediate. I look up.

Trees demand that we pause. They stand for decades or centuries, enduring drought, storms, fire, pruning, pollution and development, yet they continue to grow.

“Trees are silent witnesses to history.”

01

The Tree I Remember

A tree can be more than a tree.

A large Umdoni tree (Syzygium cordatum) grew near the roadside in my community. It was more than a tree. It was a bus stop.

It provided shade, shelter from rain, fruit while we waited for our parents, and my grandmother used it to treat diarrhoea.

At the time, I did not think about ecosystem services. Looking back now, I realise that this one tree was providing many of the services we now describe scientifically. It was part of the social and ecological fabric of the community.

This is why conversations about trees should go beyond asking what species they are. We should also ask what they mean to people.

02

The Role of Trees

Trees are essential to terrestrial ecosystems. Their value extends far beyond aesthetics.

🌱

Healthy Soils

Roots hold soil together, reduce erosion and support soil organisms. Leaf litter adds organic matter.

💧

Water Cycle

Trees influence infiltration, transpiration and runoff while helping regulate the movement of water.

🐦

Wildlife Habitat

Flowers, fruits, seeds, leaves, bark and branches provide food and shelter for many organisms.

🌍

Climate

Trees absorb and store carbon and contribute to nature-based approaches to climate change mitigation.

🌿

Biodiversity

Trees create different habitats and niches for insects, birds, mammals, reptiles and other organisms.

🏡

People & Communities

Trees provide shade, restorative spaces, cultural meaning, medicinal value and connections to place.

Through photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, and capture carbon in biomass and soils. Their leaves and branches filter pollutants, while vegetation shapes local air movement and microclimates.

Trees influence the water cycle. They draw water from the soil and release it into the atmosphere through transpiration, improving infiltration and reducing runoff.

A mature indigenous tree can function as a small ecosystem. A landscape containing trees of different ages, heights and species offers a greater variety of niches for wildlife.

Their value is also social. Trees are community assets. They offer restorative spaces where people can walk, rest and exercise. Many indigenous trees also carry medicinal significance.

Sideroxylon inerme — a protected indigenous tree.

03

Protected Trees in South Africa

Protection under the National Forests Act

Some South African tree species are legally protected under the National Forests Act, 1998 (Act 84 of 1998).

They cannot be cut, damaged, destroyed, removed, transported or sold without authorisation.

A protected tree can stand inside a nature reserve, a garden, along a road or on private property. Its legal status follows the species, not the setting.

Individual trees or groups of trees can also be recognised as Champion Trees because of their exceptional size, age, historical importance or cultural significance.

Examples of protected tree species include:

• Baobab (Adansonia digitata)
• Pod mahogany (Afzelia quanzensis)
• Shepherd’s tree (Boscia albitrunca)
• Leadwood (Combretum imberbe)
• Stinkwood (Ocotea bullata)
• Silver tree (Leucadendron argenteum)
• Real yellowwood (Podocarpus latifolius)
• Clanwilliam cedar (Widdringtonia cedarbergensis)
• Umtiza (Umtiza zeyheri)
• Red ivory (Berchemia zeyheri)
• Marula (Sclerocarya birrea)
• Mopane (Colophospermum mopane)

The list evolves. In 2022, Red/Pink Ivory, Jackalberry, Manketti and Umtiza were added, bringing the total to 51 protected species.

These trees represent diverse landscapes and conservation stories. Stinkwood and yellowwoods are linked to indigenous forests. The silver tree is part of the Western Cape's botanical heritage. The Clanwilliam cedar is critically endangered after extensive harvesting.

The white milkwood is both a coastal tree and a living link to South Africa's history.

Protection Is About More Than Legislation

The law says, “Do not cut this tree.”

Conservation asks, “Why should we care about this tree?”

That is where horticulture, conservation and communities meet.

A protected tree is not simply a plant with a legal restriction attached to it. It is a living organism that provides habitat, food, shade, carbon storage, cultural meaning and historical memory.

04

Stop. Look Up.

The next time you walk past a tree, pause and ask:

• What species is it?
• How old might it be?
• What lives in it?
• What has it witnessed?
• What does it give to the people around it?

Perhaps their greatest gift is this: they remind us that life continues to grow.

Grow indigenous. Grow for biodiversity.

Every tree has a story. Take time to notice it.

Sideroxylon inerme

 

Sideroxylon inerme

Family: sapotaceae

Common name: Milkwood

This month we are highlighting Sideroxylon inerme, commonly known as the Milkwood. It is an indigenous South African tree valued for its contribution to biodiversity and its importance in natural and cultivated landscapes. 

Sideroxylon inerme, commonly known as the white milkwood, is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree native to Southern Africa. It features dense, leathery foliage, small greenish-white flowers with a strong scent, and purple-black edible berries. The tree is notable for its hard, fine-grained wood and its use in traditional medicine. It is widespread in coastal and inland forests of southern Africa, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Gauteng.

The species is not endangered but enjoys legal protection in South Africa—no milkwood may be damaged or removed. Sideroxylon inerme is remembered for several historic specimen trees, including the 'Post Office Tree' in Mossel Bay and the 'Treaty Tree' in Cape Town, both recognised as National Monuments.

Ecologically, the tree supports various animals, including birds, bats, monkeys, and bush pigs, which feed on its fruit and flowers. Its bark and roots are used to treat a variety of ailments. For propagation, both cuttings and seeds are effective, with seeds being the preferred method. The tree is valued in coastal gardens, making an excellent firebreak and growing well in a range of soils and conditions, provided some protection from direct sea wind.

Key attributes:

Plant Type: Tree

Distribution: Southern Africa (coastal and inland)

Soil: Sandy, clay, loam, brackish

Flowering: Late summer to autumn

Uses: Timber, medicine, edible fruit, firebreak

Status: Protected in South Africa

Milkwoods can provide shade, shelter, and habitat for a variety of organisms. Their presence in gardens and landscapes can also help strengthen connections between cultivated areas and the surrounding natural environment.

As we celebrate indigenous plants, choosing species such as Sideroxylon inerme can be one way of bringing local biodiversity into our gardens while learning more about the plants that form part of our natural heritage.

Salvia dolomitica

dolomite sage

Salvia dolomitica in flower

Plant of the Month

Salvia dolomitica, commonly known as dolomite sage or Pilgrim's Rest sage, is an attractive indigenous South African shrub that belongs to the mint family Lamiaceae. It naturally occurs in parts of Limpopo and Mpumalanga, where it grows in rocky, dolomitic habitats. The species name dolomitica refers to its association with dolomite-rich areas.

This hardy, aromatic shrub is valued for its attractive grey-green foliage and delicate flowers. It can grow into an upright shrub of approximately 1–2 metres. From spring through summer, it produces clusters of pale lilac to pinkish flowers with attractive markings. After flowering, the calyces remain on the plant and develop a striking deeper colour, extending its ornamental display.

One of the most valuable features of S. dolomitica is its role in supporting pollinators. Its flowers are adapted for bee pollination, providing a landing platform for visiting bees. This makes dolomite sage a wonderful addition to gardens designed to support pollinators and urban biodiversity. A garden filled with indigenous plants can provide valuable food and habitat for the small creatures that help keep ecosystems functioning.

The plant is also well-suited to water-wise gardens. It is drought-resistant and performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular watering during the growing season encourages healthy growth and flowering. Pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact and bushy shape. The plant can be propagated from seed or cuttings.

At a glance

Sun: Full sun
Water: Water-wise / drought-resistant
Soil: Well-drained soil
Wildlife value: Supports pollinators
Propagation: Seed or cuttings

Beauty with ecological value

Beyond its horticultural value, Salvia dolomitica has also attracted scientific interest because of its aromatic essential oils. Research has investigated the antimicrobial activity of essential oils from South African Salvia species against selected microorganisms. With its fragrant foliage, attractive flowers, pollinator value and ability to tolerate dry conditions, dolomite sage is an excellent indigenous shrub for water-wise and biodiversity-friendly gardens.

A personal favourite

I personally enjoy using the aromatic leaves of dolomite sage to make a simple cup of tea. I like combining two to three fresh leaves with lemon, cancer bush (Sutherlandia frutescens), and a little honey. The combination makes a pleasant, fragrant herbal drink that I enjoy now and then. For me, this is one of the simple joys of growing aromatic indigenous plants.

Note

This is a personal preference rather than a recommendation for treating or preventing any health condition. Herbal plants can contain active compounds and may not be suitable for everyone, particularly when consumed regularly or alongside medication.

Grow Indigenous.
Grow for Biodiversity.

Streptocarpus primulifolius

Common name: Cape primrose
Family: Gesneriaceae
Origin: South Africa
Plant description: A fast-growing and highly rewarding soft perennial herb with an unusual growth habit: it features no true stems, as each rough, hairy leaf acts as an individual plant with its own roots and flowering stems. The leaves grow in a rosette formation from a thick horizontal rootstock, originating at ground level and curving gently outward. Throughout spring and summer, it produces large, striking single or paired flowers on long, slender stems. The tubular flowers are two-lipped with five broad, uneven petals, typically appearing in beautiful shades of purple, pink, or mauve/lilac with deep violet or reddish-purple stripes inside. The long fruit capsules characteristically twist open in a spiral when dry to release tiny seeds.

Use: An exceptionally popular and decorative indoor pot plant, ideal for adding a splash of vibrant color to bright interior spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, or offices. It also performs beautifully outdoors in containers on sheltered, shaded patios or nestled under a forest-like tree canopy in frost-free gardens.

Light and position: Prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade (an east- or west-facing windowsill is ideal). Keep it strictly out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn, but avoid deep shade as this will result in poor flowering.

Water requirement: Medium to low water requirement. Because they have shallow root systems and natural cliff-dwelling adaptations, they prefer to dry out between waterings. Water regularly during the active growing season, but allow the top layer of soil to dry before watering again. Reduce watering significantly in winter; the plant can tolerate slight wilting and recovers beautifully once watered, but sitting in soggy soil will cause fatal root rot.

Plant care: Plant in light, well-drained, slightly acidic potting soil mixed with organic matter like bark compost or peat. Feed monthly during the spring and summer growing season with a potassium-rich liquid fertilizer to encourage abundant flowering. Deadhead spent flowers by snipping the flower stem at the base. Re-pot only when the roots start growing out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Choose a wide, shallow pot rather than a deep one, only one size larger than the root ball, as these plants thrive and flower best when slightly root-bound.

Pest and diseases: Generally exceptionally pest and disease-free. However, keep a lookout for aphids, mealybugs, and leaf miner caterpillars on the undersides of the leaves. Watch out for rotting at the leaf base, which is a sign of over-watering or poor drainage.

Propagation: Highly versatile and easy to grow from both leaf cuttings and seeds. Leaf cuttings are best taken in spring or early summer; select a healthy leaf from the center of the plant, cut it into 3 cm sections or cut along the midrib, and insert it upright into a well-drained mixture of compost, sand, or vermiculite. Keep the medium humid and moist, and new plantlets will develop from the leaf base in 4 to 6 weeks. To propagate by seed, scatter the dust-like seeds thinly on top of a fine, well-drained medium. Do not cover them with soil as they require light to germinate. Keep them warm, moist, and under a clear cover until they sprout in 3 to 4 weeks.

Cape Flats Gardening Guide

🌿 

May & June activities in the Garden 

🌿

As the Cape’s winter edges closer, May and June bring a gentle rhythm to the garden. Rain begins to fall more often, soaking the soil and helping roots settle in. It’s a season of preparation, tidying, and planting. A time when small efforts now will reward you with lush growth later.

❄️ Winter preparation

• Clear gutters, downpipes, drainage channels, and stormwater drains to prevent flooding during heavy winter rains.
• Spike compacted lawns with a garden fork, fill holes with sand or old potting soil, and sprinkle bonemeal to encourage healthy root growth.

✂️ Gentle garden maintenance

• Tidy up summer- and autumn-flowering shrubs including Barleria, Plumbago, ribbon bush, and wild dagga.
• Prune Plectranthus after flowering and root cuttings in a cool, shaded area.
• Add compost around shrubs and perennials, avoiding direct contact with stems.
• Relocate struggling shrubs while the soil is moist and cool.

🌱 Soil Care

Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving garden.

Healthy compost 

• Spread compost generously over garden beds twice a year.
• No digging needed, let earthworms and soil microbes do the work naturally.
