Propagation & Cultivation
Propagation through Cuttings : Propagation through cuttings is an easy and inexpensive method of vegetative propagation. A cutting is usually a division of the stem, root, or leaf of a plant. It is taken from a plant part and planted in the soil. Depending on the requirement, cuttings are extracted from a mother plant of a specific age. The extracted cuttings are then trimmed and planted in the soil either horizontally or vertically, depending on the need. Among all types of cuttings, stem cuttings are the most widely used.
