Propagation:
Propagation is the term used to describe the way in which plants re-produce themselves. There are basically two ways in which this is done. Through cloning, this re-produces plants genetically identical to its parent and by sexual reproduction which produces seeds that are a genetic mix of both its parents. Cloning is often used by growers because it produces numerous identical plants that have known characteristics, i.e., flowering time, growth patterns, taste, colour etc. with little or no variation in quality. This is advantageous to the grower because they can tailor the growing conditions to the particular variety. Although there are many different ways to clone plants, including grafting and tissue culture, taking cuttings is the most widely used due to its simplicity. Some varieties of plant suit different methods, but in general, most plants can be propagated by taking cuttings.
