3. Plant Selection, Cultivation and Propagation

Hong Kong is a small and densely populated city. It is important to grow the right plants at the right places. Plant selection needs to look into a range of factors, such as characteristics of plants, types of soil and conditions of planting sites. The processes from selection of good species, assessment of planting sites to the subsequent cultivation and propagation are all indispensable.

This functional area includes: "Plant Species Identification and Selection of Suitable Plants", "Cultivation and Propagation", and "Nursery Stock Management".
