Seedlings are the plants in young condition. Planting the seedlings of the trees is the most convenient method for plantation of trees Allan Wilson Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4584/1/Propagation-Media-and-Fertilization A perfect propagation medium provides proper balance of water and air for the development of root system. An ideal propagation holds nutrients, secures and fastens the propagule for plant uptake. The medium must be from insects, weed seed and disease organisms. The characteristics of ideal medium will differ with environmental conditions, container size, temperature, plant species. The most common parts of a propagation media are peat, coarse sand, vermiculite, perlite and pine bark. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4583/1/Light-and-Moisture-Consideration-during-Plant-Propagation If you want to develop the plants properly, optimum light is essential. Optimum light plays an important role in the development of plants. If the light intensity levels are not in the desired range this may adversely affect the rate of development of plant. If the propagator wants he can change the light intensity levels. The propagator can also modify to enhance the growth and development of liner. Day length affects the growth of plants. Such plants are called photoperiodic plants. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4582/1/Temperature-Considerations-During-Plant-Propagation For successful propagation, temperature should limit the strees on developing propugale.Very high temperatures or very low temperatures may limit and affect rate of development of propugale. See to that there is no excessive water loss. Light levels should not go beyond the desired range. Excessive water loss may result into death of propagule. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4581/1/ZZ-Plant-Propagation Zamioculcas zamiifolia is commonly referred to as the ZZ plant. It is ideal for growing indoors. This plant is drought resistant. Even if it is neglected it won't suffer much. Low level of light, dryness in the air and insects can't cause much harm to it. The ZZ plant will do well when there is a lot of sunlight available. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4580/1/Vegetative-Plant-Propagation In the nature propagation of plants take place in two ways namely sexually and asexually. Sexual reproduction takes place through seeds. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction technique, which results in the formation of new individuals from the cells of a single parent. Asexual or vegetative reproduction is advantageous in case of some plants, which cannot be grown into offspring from their seed stage. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4579/1/Stem-Cutting-Method-of-Plant-Propagation Plant propagation refers to the regeneration and increase in the number of plants. This can be done either sexually or asexually. Sexual propagation makes use of seeds while in asexual propagation, no seeds are involved. There are various methods used for asexual propagation of plants. Stem cutting is the most commonly used method for propagation. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4578/1/Propagations-of-Perennials The perennials can be propagated by different methods. Cutting is one of the most commonly used methods of propagation of perennials. The clipping is made at a sharp short diagonal, just below a node or joint. The cutting is wrapped in damp newspaper. Exposure to the air for half an hour or more is very essential. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4577/1/Layering-Method-of-Plant-Propagation In Nature, there are different methods of plant propagation. Sexual reproduction takes place through seeds. Asexual or vegetative reproduction is useful in case of some plants that cannot be grown into offspring from their seed stage. Layering method is one of the vegetative propagation methods. Layering includes the development of roots on a stem that is still attached to the parent plant. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4576/1/Plant-Propagation-of-Umbrella-Plant The umbrella plant is also known by the name of umbrella palm and umbrella sedge. The umbrella plant is basically a species of the sedge plant. Its outward look is highly similar to grass. This plant is a native of the eastern coast of Africa. However, this plant has been widely distributed in the tropical regions. And now, it is found naturally in regions of the West Indies and in some areas of South America. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4575/1/Types-of-Cutting-Propagation-Methods There are numbers of types in cutting propagation system that are used in Asexual Propagation methods. They are given here. Some woody plant can be propagated by stem cutting system. Fall season or dormant season is good for the method. You can use this system for any plant at any time of the year. Only woody plants needs fall or dormant season. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4574/1/Propagation-Techniques-of-Native-Plants Since the civilization began humans always were on the look out for food as were other animals. Human beings were blessed with brain so they could think and that made them different than the animals. By using the ability to think man began to propagate the plants. Propagation of plants has now become a science. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4573/1/Plant-Propagation-by-Stem-Tip-Cutting Most popular method for plant propagation for the amateur gardener with most success is Stem Cutting. For stem tip cutting you will need the rooting hormones, continuous moisture or misting, light and necessary temperature. To do the stem tip cutting propagation you should cut the section from an un-branched stem.

The sexual type of propagation takes place with the help of seeds and spores. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4567/1/Tips-for-Plant-Propagation Propagation is one the modern method of growing plants and getting more benefits. There are many methods used to propagate plants. Some plants reproduce through production of seeds. It called sexual production. Sexual production includes the replacement of genetic objects between two main plants. There is another method used named Asexual Propagation. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4566/1/Three-Methods-of-Plant-Propagation Propagation is one of the most popular and easiest methods to grow plants. This works on the totipotency principle. Thus you can have a genetic replica of any unique or rare plant without causing any harm to the parent plant. Cutting is a method of plant propagation in which the plants are forced top produce roots from cut sections of the donor plants roots, stems or leaves. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4565/1/T-Budding-or-Shield-Budding In T budding or shield budding, the piece of plant that is cut as a scion is reduced and a single bud remains. The scion which you choose for T budding should have a matured, full grown buds in a dormant condition. An ideal scion is one which has healthy buds. The root stock or the cambium in the root stock should be in a state of growing at the moment.  T budding is generally implemented on trees that fruit. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4564/1/Stem-Layering-System-in-Asexual-Plant-Propagation Sometimes we cut off a parent plant and use some growing media to form root. At this time the stems spread some roots near the cutting place and forms new plants. This kind of method is known as Layering Method. This method generates a high success rate of propagation. Some plants naturally generate layers themselves. Sometimes, we have to follow the process. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4563/1/Plant-Propagation-of-Spider-Plant Spider plant is a commonly known type of house plant. Usually, this plant is grown by people who take up gardening for the first time. Spider plants grow well within the house itself. They don't require much maintenance either. This has added to their popularity. Very few problems are experienced while growing spider plants. In addition to that, they absorb pollutants and release oxygen into the surrounding air. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4562/1/Rooting-Conditions-Media-in-Plant-Propagation Rooting media is one of the categories of the Asexual Plant Propagation. A piece of plant is cut and attached to the other plants and the new plant is produced. The two plants exchange their genetic material to each other and a plant copy is produced. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4561/1/Requirements-for-Seed-Propagation Numbers of methods are used to reproduce new plants from single parent plants. To create the exact copy or to reproduce copy of a single parental plant is called Asexual Propagation. In this method, the two plants exchange the genetic material to each other and produce exact new pant. Some biannual, annual plants, flowers can be germinated in this method. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4560/1/Protocol-for-Plant-Propagation-Cuttings Plant Propagation is a method by which the spread of plants occurs in different places. Plant propagation can be sexual as well as asexual. Cutting propagation is included under asexual propagation. Cuttings refer to a particular part of a plant. It could be the stem or the root or the leaf. These cuttings are used to create new plants. The new plants are created by the regeneration of the other organs.

Asexual reproduction is also called as vegetative propagation. The sexual type of propagation takes place with the help of seeds and spores. The asexual type of reproduction takes place with the help of using some part of the original plant such as the stem, Leaves and the roots. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4558/1/Spider-Plant-Propagation Plant propagation is a method of asexual reproduction in plants. Asexual reproduction takes place with the help of stem, roots and leaves of these plants. Plant propagation is a method in which rapid multiplication of the stock plant or the mother plant takes place so that the plant grows in a large number of its progeny plants. This is done by the modern techniques that have been developed recently.

This could be because sometimes the plants grow large and, hence, need to be started again. The methods that are used for house plant propagation can be easy or difficult. There are different plants that can be propagated using plant propagation methods. Prayer plant is one such plant that can be used for plant propagation. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4556/1/Air-Layering In Air layering roots are forcibly grown on the stem of a plant, which already has a root system. Such plants have usually shed off the lower foliage. Generally ornamental plants like dieffenbachia, ornamental figs and croton. Some woody plants like magnolia, azalea, rose etc are also grown by this method. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4555/1/Using-Division-for-Plant-Propagation In case of landscape plants, there is no stem or crown. The technique used for propagation of such plants is called as division. But there are a number of plants which have several stems. Division can be used as a method for plant propagation for them too. There are various perennial flowers that can be propagated by this. Other plants are Mums, Ornamental Grasses, Hostas, etc. Steve Boulden Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.pokingaroundthehome.com/articles/4554/1/Books-for-Plant-Propagation Plant propagation refers to the process of distribution of plants in a number of places. This process of plant propagation can take place either artificially or through a natural process. It includes both sexual and asexual propagation. Seeds are required for sexual propagation. Here, the plant that is ultimately produced may possess qualities that are completely different from the main plant.
