Quiz # 201

Plant propagation is the process of multiplying or increasing the number of plants of the same species and at the
same time perpetuating their desirable characteristics. Here are some of the reasons why propagation is practiced:

It increase or multiply the number of plants rapidly.

It prevents the plant species from being lost or extinct.
To produce superior strains and disease-resistant plants that will be best suited under a given climate and soil

conditions.
It retains the desirable characteristics of the mother plants.
It shortens the bearing age of plants, especially in fruit trees.

Quiz # 202
When selecting suitable plant material for propagation, you should bear in mind a few points:
1. In most circumstances, there is no point propagating from diseased plants, especially those affected with viruses, as
you will also be propagating the disease. Similarly, do not propagate from weak plants, as they may not have the strength
to produce good quality plants.
2. In most circumstances, dont propagate from flowering shoots. The plant puts a lot of energy into producing flowers,
whereas you want it to put its energy into root production. It is far better, where necessary, to cut back hard one or two
flowering shoots at the back of the plant, where they will not be missed in the display, and take cuttings from the vigorous
new regrowth.
3. When propagating varieties with variegated foliage or unusual characteristics (such as contorted stems) always choose
shoots that exhibit strong variegation or typical characteristics of the plant.
