About
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.
Apple Intelligence, on your device
- Write with Apple Intelligence: a few words about your plant become a clear title and description, in your language
- Translate: read listings and messages written in another language with one tap
- Smart replies in chat, and care tips for the plant you are looking at
- Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight: "Search Propagate for monstera", "Post a plant in Propagate"
- Visual intelligence: point the camera at a plant and find it near you
Everything runs on the device. Apple Intelligence needs a supported iPhone, iPad or Mac with Apple Intelligence turned on; availability depends on language and region. Propagate works fully without it.
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.
Safety built in
- Community rules you agree to first: zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users, trade only, 18+
- Report profiles, listings, reviews and messages, and Block anyone from their profile, a listing or a conversation; reports are reviewed by moderators
- Only your city is shown, never your address, and chat gently reminds you if you type something that looks like one
- A safety note on every trade: meet in daylight, in public, and tell a friend where you are going
Private by design
Propagate uses your iCloud account, so there is no password and nothing to sign up for. You choose a nickname. No ads, no tracking. If you use your location, it is rounded to about 1 km before it is saved. You can delete your account and everything you posted from Settings at any time.
Made for every Apple device
iPhone, iPad with Split View, and Mac. Light and dark themes. Notifications tell you about new offers, replies, messages, trade updates and reviews. Propagate speaks 20 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese.
Propagate is new and covers major cities in 11 countries. Your city may be quiet at first, so post the first listing and tell a fellow grower.
