Methods of Vegetative Propagation:

1. Cutting:
Cutting is a common vegetative propagation method where a portion of the stem, root, or leaf is cut and planted to grow into a new plant. There are various types of cuttings such as stem, root, and leaf cuttings.

2. Layering:
Layering involves bending a branch of a plant and burying a part of it in the soil while it is still attached to the parent plant. Once roots develop, the new plant can be separated and grown independently.

3. Grafting:
Grafting is a technique where a scion (a shoot or bud) from one plant is attached to the rootstock of another plant. This method is commonly used in fruit tree propagation to combine the desirable traits of two different plants.

4. Division:
Division is a method of propagation where the plant is divided into two or more parts, each containing roots and shoots. This is commonly done with plants like hostas, daylilies, and ornamental grasses.

5. Budding:
Budding is a form of grafting where a single bud from one plant is attached to the stem of another plant. This method is often used in fruit tree propagation and rose propagation.
These methods of vegetative propagation are useful for creating new plants with desirable traits and characteristics. By understanding and utilizing these techniques, gardeners and farmers can efficiently propagate plants for cultivation and landscaping purposes.
