Information about asexual reproduction

2. Natural Vegetative Reproduction
•Plants reproduce on
their own using
underground
stems, , bulbs, corms, rhi
zomes and leaves.

3. • Underground Stems: Ginger (rhizome)

4. • Onion

7. • Potato

9. • Suckers: producing upright shoots
• Heliconia and Banana

11. • Leaves: Thick and fleshy
• Bryophyllum

12. • Begonia

13. • African violet

15. Artificial Vegetative reproduction
• Plant parts such as stems,
buds and leaves
• A man-made way to
reproduce plants with
certain preferred
characteristics.

17. CUTTING
• Also called as plant slip
• Stem Cutting
• Moist soil must be used and stem should be kept away
from direct sunlight for the roots to develop.

18. CUTTING

19. CUTTING
• Roots
• Warning: Acidic Soil and too much water

20. GRAFTING
• Making one part of a plant grow into another
plant.

22. BUDDING
• Similar to grafting. The only difference is that
only a bud and a small piece of bark is grafted
to the stem of the stock plant.

23. BUDDING
• The bud will gradually grow into a
new plant with the characteristics
of the parent plant.
• Generally, fruit trees such as
peach and trees that provide
shade are suitable for budding.

24. AIR LAYERING
• Making a cut or wound on the stem or large
branch of a parent plant to grow another
plant.
• Used to reproduce plants that take a long time
to develop roots.
• Plants can be large ad have a little or no leaves
at the bottom half of their stems.
• Also can be used to reproduce fruit trees, such
as guava, woody plants or indoor plants.
