This document provides guidance on propagating, harvesting, and marketing ornamental plants. There are two main ways to propagate plants: by seeds and by vegetative parts like stems and leaves. Hardwood cuttings and layering/marcotting are described as methods for propagation using vegetative parts. Harvesting involves scheduling, using proper methods and containers depending on climate/soil, and storing plants at the right temperature. Marketing is selling harvested plants through wholesale or retail channels.

5. Ways of Propagating
Ornamental Plants
1. Propagation by seeds
2. Propagation by vegetative parts

6. 1. Propagation by seeds
● They are grow into seedlings.
● It is the most common method
used for ornamental plants and
fruit trees.

7. 2. Propagation by vegetative
parts
● These parts include the roots,
stems, or leave of the plant that
develop into a new individual
plant when separated from the
mother plant.

8. Propagation by vegetative parts
1. Aerial stems
2. Basal shoots or suckers
grow
3. Rhizomes or rootstalks
4. Slips or crowns

9. Propagating Plants
by Hardwood
Cuttings
02

10. Steps to propagate plants by hardwood
cuttings:
1. Identify a stem with a developed bud. Pick one
stem, about the size of an ordinary lead pencil.
Cut this into short pieces of three to four buds.
2. Plant the cuttings in propagating beds. Water
them regularly and allow them to grow for about
one or two months.
3. Put the rooted cutting from the propagating bed
in plastic bags or empty cans.

11. Propagating Plants
by Layering and
Marcotting
03

12. Steps to propagate plants by hardwood
cuttings:
In layering, the root is used as a
propagative part of the plant by
twisting it until buds to become
another plant.

13. Steps to propagate plants by hardwood
cuttings:
In marcotting, a branch is cut off
when fully developed roots appear.
The presence of roots indicate that
the plant can now sustain its
growth.

14. New Trends in
Planting
04

15. These are some of the new ways
and trends in planting:
1. Air plant is a
method of growing
plants with the use
of water, light, and
air.

16. These are some of the new ways
and trends in planting:
2. Container gardening
offers more scope for
inventiveness. The choice of
containers could be
anything for growing
plants.

17. These are some of the new ways
and trends in planting:
3. Miniature plants are
becoming famous these
days.

18. These are some of the new ways
and trends in planting:
4. Hydroculture is
a method of
growing plants
using water.
