When plants are propagated by any material other then
seed. Such plants are known as vegetative propagative
plant.

that is stem leave or root.

Collect cuttings early in the morning
Collect cuttings from healthy stock
plants
Provide proper environment for
rooting

10. In this method tip of a stem
is cut and used to produce a
seedling. The piece should
be 3 inch long, must have
leaves.
If cuttings are without leaves
then it will take longer time
for development of roots.
It produce seeding more
rapidly as compare to stem
section cutting.

11. It has following types
1.Semi Hardwood Cuttings:
 Semi-hardwood cutting are derived from those
plants which are more woody than soft-wooded
plant.
 These cutting are made from spring growth of
trees and shrubs. This material may be obtain
from start to mid-summer.
 These cutting should have leaves on the top
parts. For example, Rhoda Dendron, Azalea and
Holly.

17. Roots are cut into (2-6)
inches long pieces in late
winter to early spring
from (2-3) years old
plants.
The tip of the root cutting
should be inserted into
rooting medium, e.g.,
Bayberry, Hibiscus and
couya , oak-leaf

19.  Cutting that are obtained from healthy well nourished
plants and that have accumulated more carbohydrates are
more successful, in rooting as compare to mal.

less successful as compared to actively growing
plants.

30.  It is a simple, cheap and convenient method of propagation of plants.
 High technical expertise is not required.
 Rapid multiplication is possible within a short time.
 Plants produced through cuttings are uniform with not much genetic
changes.
 As the plant grows on its own system, the complex problems of stock
scion relations, which exist in budded/grafted plants, can be avoided.
 Transportation of cuttings is easier.
 Larger number of plants can be prepared from few plants.
 There is no problem of compatibility with root stocks.
 Much space is not required.

31. Lack of genetic variation
=exposure to disease
Change in environment will
affect the plant.
High capital costs.
High maintenance costs.
Abrasive cost (cannot be
recycled)

• Providing the rigid humidity

34.  Cuttings has to proved to have a
positive impact on the plant community
as well as the soil.
 Soil water content and plant water
availability also increased with cutting.
 Try some new things…and
 Have fun with it!
