Microfragmentation technique

Microfragmentation technique involves cutting plant tissue, like cactus pads or other succulents, into very tiny pieces, or microfragments. This method encourages the plant to produce multiple new growth points from each piece, effectively promoting rapid and uniform propagation. It is often used in horticulture to mass-produce plants quickly and efficiently, ensuring better rooting, higher survival rates, and disease-free plants. Think of it as a sophisticated way of multiplying plants by carefully dividing them into small, manageable parts that each grow into healthy, mature specimens.
