Cutting is one of the commonly used methods for asexual propagation of plants. It is hard to imagine the tenacious vitality of plants. With a section of stem, a section, a root, or a small leaf, small seedlings can be produced and a green meaning can be produced. As long as in the right time, the right occasion, easy to reproduce a new life!
Maybe only after you cut yourself, you will feel that every little cutting seedling will have the magic of regeneration.
What is the secret of cutting propagation? To put it bluntly, it's actually a way to use the regeneration ability of plants. The cells of plants have a certain ability of self-healing, with a professional name, called cell holography. With the help of the inherent genetic information of cells, they manipulate the prelude of this life self-healing.
For example, select a branch cutting, this branch must grow roots again, life can continue.
In fact, cutting is based on the ability of the plant itself, a section of branches left the mother plant, as long as the root system or seedlings are produced, the cutting mission is completed. Plant regeneration is just like the repair of human cells. First, the branches contain a lot of root primordia (substances that help to take root), which is the instinct of plant to start root repair after injury.
The leaves of stone lotus are plump, and new seedlings can be seen soon by cutting with its leaves.
Spot leaf is not fleshy, but as long as you collect a leaf, you can also grow a plant.
Succulent plants can be propagated not only by leaf cutting but also by top bud cutting.
