Plant propagation is a method of plant reproduction.
There are two major techniques that can be used.
Sexual and asexual plant propagation.
The difference between these to types are that sexual is when a plant is reproduced through a seed and asexual is a method that is used when the reproduction of a plant is done with a plant that doesn't produce seeds.
This process of asexual plant propagation includes methods like cuttings, layering, division and grafting.
Learning these different methods can be very rewarding and give you the ability to reproduce new plants from the existing plants that you already have in your house or yard.
These methods of plant reproduction are easy to do and can save you a considerable amount of money.
Plant propagation gives you the ability to supply your garden with the amount of your favorite plants you always wanted and to have enough plants to share with your friends and neighbors.
The creativity with the propagation of plants is endless.
You can propagate flowering plants like roses with one or more other variety to produce multicolor flowers on the same plant at the same time to fruit trees to produce more than one type of fruit on the same tree.
Your imagination is the limit.
Experiment for yourself and see what you can produce.
You will be surprised how easy and much fun it can be.
There are many hybridizers that have patents on there plants and the reproduction of these plants are illegal for a specific period of time without written permission of the patent holder.
