1. (a) What is meant by vegetative propagation ? |
Answer» Vegetative propagation, or vegetative plant propagation, refers to the process of plant reproduction whereby a fragment of a parent plant (a cutting) is taken in order to produce more plants (clones). These fragments, known as cuttings, are able to take root and grow into full plants without much interference from the gardener. In most cases, the vegetation used in vegetative plant propagation is derived from the roots, stems, and leaves of a gardener's healthiest, highest-yielding plant, commonly referred to as the mother plant. Many indoor growers refer to vegetative plant propagation simply as cloning, or taking cuttings. It is considered to be an asexual method of plant propagation. |
