It is the process of creating new plants

What are the two types of propagation?

It is the union of pollen and egg, drawing the genes of two parents to create a new, third individual. It involves the floral parts of a plant.

It involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting plant is genetically identical to its parent.

It begins with flowering then pollination then fertilization and seed production.

It is the cheapest propagation method

Seeds may take a long time to grow into mature plant

It is the production of plants using the vegetative parts of a plant

It is the simplest form of asexual propagation

The plant from which the cuttings are taken is referred to as the

What are the types of cuttings

A branch or stem is cut from a plant and placed in water or moist sand to stimulate root growth

A leaf or portion of a leaf is placed in water or moist soil.

They are made by breaking a small, young shoot from the side of a branch. This will keep a small portion of the stem attached to the cutting.

It has a complete cross section of the main stem.

It can promote root production. It is made by stripping lower leaves and some bark from the cutting or by cutting off a thin slice of bark from the lower third of the cutting.

They are specialized organs with a growing point surrounded by thick fleshy scales.

Tulips onions lilies and daffodils are all bulbous plants

It is another form of asexual propagation and is a method that encourages the development of roots on a stem while it is still attached to the parent plant.

It is made up of the swollen base of a stem surrounded by dry, scaly leaves

It is a specialized stem structure that grows at or just below ground level such as in bearded Iris, lily of the valley, sugar cane and many grasses.

IT is a swollen stem structure that serves as an underground storage organ with nodes (often called eyes) from which shoots emerge.

They are both forms of asexual propagation

In any form of grafting, a piece of stem or shoot with dormant buds is the part that will grow and develop with branches. This part is known as

The part of the graft that will develop into the root system is known as the
