Grape layering to replace a vine or strawberries' natural runners are examples of layering. Separation is simply removing corms or bulbets from the parent bulb plant.
Division involves the removal of new shoots with some root from below.
Grafting involves the transfers of wood with buds from one plant and matching up its cambium layer to another plant. The ends then grow together, holding a plant with desirable qualities of both original plants. Since herbaceous plants are easily propagated, you can use coleus, Impatiens, or Creeping Charlies to produce rooted cuttings in less than one week. Do not bury the leaves. Water the cuttings with about one pint of water.
