Cutting is a way for plants to reproduce, but it can be basically divided into six forms, including stem cutting, leaf cutting, root cutting, scale cutting and bud cutting.

Stem propagation of plants

Top bud insertion.

Most of the cutting methods adopted by herbaceous plants are top bud cutting, mainly cutting the cuttings with top buds from plants. This method is easy to grow roots, and the survival time is the shortest

Twig Cutting

Twig Cutting refers to the cutting of new and non lignified branches from plants. This way of Cutting Rooting is also relatively simple, but vulnerable to the impact of the environment, especially when the humidity is not enough, will lead to cutting failure.

Semihardwood cutting

Semi hardwood cutting refers to the selection of annual or current year branches on the plant when cutting, but it requires that the branches develop mature and the epidermis begins to Lignify. Semi - hardwood cutting is easier to survive, because the cuttings themselves contain more nutrients.

Hardwood cutting

Hardwood cutting is mostly adopted by the propagation of woody plants. Generally, mature branches are selected for cutting. It can be carried out in winter and spring or when the plant is dormant. Just cut 15-30cm.

Stem cutting propagation of plant

The plant's leafy propagation

Whole leaf insertion.

Whole leaf cutting refers to cutting, using a whole leaf for leaf cutting, rooting faster, but less buds.

Blade insert

Leaf cutting refers to cutting a complete leaf into several pieces, each of which can grow adventitious buds. In this way, we can get more seedlings

Leaf bud insertion.

Leaf bud cutting means that when cutting leaves, there should be a bud at the base of the leaves, so that it is easier to produce adventitious buds. It is suitable for plants that are not easy to grow adventitious buds by leaf cutting.

Stem cutting propagation of plant

The rooting of plants

Root cutting propagation refers to the use of roots as cuttings when plants propagate. Mainly to ensure that the plant can grow new buds and branches.

stem propagation of plants

Scale cutting of plants

Scale cutting is a kind of cutting method that bulbous plants will adopt. It mainly uses the scales on the abnormal stems of plants as cuttings, which is similar to leaf cutting. Generally, small bulbs or plants grow on the scales.

Plant scale cuttings

The bud of a plant propagates

Bud cutting, mainly refers to the use of axillary buds, crown buds and adventitious buds on the plant for cutting, axillary buds refer to the buds growing in the axil of the plant, crown buds are the buds on the top of the plant; adventitious buds refer to the buds not growing in the top bud and leaf axil.
