Place the jars where they will receive direct sunlight. Observe the cut ends of the stems daily for two to three weeks. Transfer the cuttings to flowerpots filled with potting soil for further growth. Keep the plants watered and observe their growth for several months. These roots continue to grow.
Asexual reproduction is a method of reproducing a new organism from one parent.
In multicelled organisms such as plants, broken pieces from the plants can develop into new plants. Special roots, called adventitious roots, develop directly from stems or leaves instead of from the normal root system. Fragmentation is an example of vegetative asexual reproduction. In this process, a new plant grows from a part broken from a parent plant. The cutting taken from the geranium plant grows into a plant identical to the parent plant.
