Abstract
The vegetative plant of most species can reproduce without flowering and forming seed. Reproduction of this type is termed vegetative propagation and. is often the main way a plant multiplies. Vegetative propagation is of great horticultural significance as it enables the faithful reproduction of plants that either do not breed true from seed or are sterile. Vegetative propagation always produces identical plants to the parent. A group of plants that is vegetatively derived from one parent is termed a clone , no matter how many generations of vegetative reproduction were involved in producing the group.
