VEGETATIVE PLANT

PROPAGATION
PLANT PROPAGATION
Is a method of increasing
the number of plants of
the same kind while
retaining their desirable
characteristics.

reproduction of
plants.

FROM STEMS
Ex. Runners, tubers,
bulbs, corms, and
rhizomes.
1. RUNNERS or STOLONS
Stems that grow
horizontally
along the
surface of the

underground stem.

3. BULBS
Consist of short
underground
stems.
Apical bud
Located at the
center of bulb which
grows upward at
the peak and
produce leaves
Lateral bud
Grows at the sides
and produces new
shoots or young
outgrowths.

4. CORMS
Or bulbo-tubers are
short swollen
underground plant
stems that serve as
storage organs.

5. RHIZOMES
Is a thickened stem or
branch of a plant that
grows horizontally
underground.
Also called as creeping
rootstalks.

PLANTS GROW
FROM LEAVES
The plant’s leaf
cutting or crown.
1. LEAF CUTTINGS
Cutting the
leaves into
sections, each
with a main vein.

2. CROWN
The upper leafy
part of a
pineapple plant.

1. ROOT TUBERS
AND CUTTINGS
The upper portion
of the root is cut
flat and planted
into the soil.

LAYERING
A technique to grow new
plants by developing
new roots on a stem that
is still attached to the
parent plant.
TYPES OF

LAYERIN
A. SIMPLE LAYERING
Is the process
where a flexible
branch of a plant
bends to the
ground.
MAYAN
A
OREGANO
PEANUTS
STRAWBERRY
B. COMPOUND LAYERING
Is the process done
when the branch is bent,
covering two or more
parts of it with soil to
develop new roots.
 C. AIR LAYERING
Is the process by
which a stem is
slit and enclosed
with moist moss.

PEAR
ORANGE

3. GRAFTING
A twig from a
plant is joined to
another plant of
the same kind.
Grafting
 scion
Is a good stem
from a chosen
variety that is cut
from the first plant.
 stock
A branch of a plant
where the scion is
inserted into a slit
maid in the said
branch.
