Plant propagation techniques

Plant propagation involves methods to grow new plants from existing ones, ensuring continued growth or new varieties. Common techniques include seed planting, where seeds are sown in soil to germinate; and asexual methods like cuttings, where parts of a plant (like stems, leaves, or roots) are rooted in soil or water to develop new plants. Other methods include division, which separates a plant into parts, and layering, where a branch is encouraged to take root while still attached. These techniques help gardeners and farmers multiply plants efficiently and preserve desirable traits.
