*Cutting propagation is growing a plant from a stem or root, that has been

cut from another plant.Stem cuttings are the most common and easiest
method of propagating woody ornamental landscape plants. Almost every
landscape favorite can be propagated by cutting propagation.Trees are
typically more difficult to propagate, but some varieties of trees can be.
Crape myrtle, birch, and some elms are commonly propagated by stem
cutting

*Layering is a means of plant propagation in which a portion of an above-


ground stem grows roots while still attached to the parent plant and then
detaches as an independent plant. Layering has evolved as a common
means of vegetative propagation of numerous species in natural
environments

*Marcotting or air layering, an asexual or vegetative method of plant


propagation, can be easily performed with less skill. Air layering is just
slightly different from other methods of layering such as tip layering,
simple layering, compound or serpentine layering, etc. In all these
methods, the induction of root development is usually done by wounding
the part of the plant to be rooted.

*Plant grafting is a procedure in which parts of plants are joined together


with the ultimate intention of making them unite and continue growing as
one plant. A grafted plant, therefore, is a composite of parts derived
from two or more plants.Grafting generally applies to the dicots and to
the gymnosperms because of the presence of a continuous vascular
cambium between the xylem and the phloem. But in the monocots that
have no vascular cambium, successful grafts are rare and difficult.Two
terms are common in grafting: rootstock and scion. These terms are
always used in reference to what is grafting rather than in other methods
of plant propagation.

*budding is a pretty common method of plant propagation, in which a


plant bud is grafted onto the stem of a rootstock plant. Creating bizarre
fruit trees that bear many types of fruit is not the only reason for
propagation by budding. Orchard growers frequently use the budding
propagation technique to quickly create new dwarf or semi-dwarf fruit
trees that take less time to fruit and require less space in the orchard.
They do propagation by budding to create self-pollinating fruit trees by
grafting trees that cross pollinate each other onto one rootstock tree. This
budding propagation technique is also used on holly to create plants that
have male and female all on one plant

*Inarching to graft by uniting a growing branch to a stock


without separating the branch from its parent stock.
