Propagate: Plant Swap

Give your cuttings a new home. Swap plants and seeds, make an offer and arrange a local meet-up with fellow growers.

Propagate is a calm place to swap plants, cuttings and seeds with growers in your own city. Nothing here is for sale: every listing is a trade, and every offer says what each side gives.

Post what you have, or what you want

• List an Offering ("I have this") or a Wants ("I'm looking for this")
• Add up to three photos and tag each one: seeds, cutting, mother plant, plant or other
• Houseplants, seeds, garden plants, cuttings and divisions, and supplies such as pots and soil

Find something near you Browse by category, search, and filter by type, kind and distance. Home shows what is new near you, what neighbors are looking for that you could give, and suggestions shaped by your taste. A short ten-card taste deck and your own Best, OK with and Not looking for lists make Suggested for you sharper.

Offers that make sense Pick one or more of your own listings to give. Before you send, Propagate shows how well your offer fits the other person's lists: Great match, Fair or Unlikely. They can accept, decline or send a counter-offer. You can also start by asking a question in the chat.

Meet up and swap Once an offer is accepted, plan the meet-up together: a public place and a time. After the swap, you both mark the trade as completed and leave a review. Reviews stay hidden until you have both written one, or until seven days pass, so nobody reviews in reply.

Trust you can see Every profile shows a rating, completed trades, and counts of cancellations and no-shows, all worked out from real trades. Newcomers are simply marked as new growers.
