Propagating plants is one of the most rewarding, easy, and economical ways of increasing your plant stock. Besides saving money cloning your plants gives you complete control over the quality and genetics of your plants. Propagating that plant can give an exact genetic copy of the plant without harming it. Plants can reproduce one of two ways, sexually or asexually.
Sexual reproduction is the natural combination of pollen and staman to produce seeds.
On the other hand asexual propagation, also known as vegetative propagation, is a human-assisted cloning of a plant. This can be done by cuttings, division, grafting, or air-layering. The method used depends on the type of plant being multiplied. Stem Cutting - Forcing a cutting to produce roots is the most common method of propagation. This method can used on leaves or stems, depending on the type of plant.
