VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION OF ORNAMENTAL PLANTS AND SEEDLING CULTIVATION

Abstract

Seedlings of ornamental plants reproduce rapidly through vegetative methods. Nowadays, vegetative propagation allows for the creation of numerous clones of a single plant. This article provides information on the vegetative propagation of seedlings in ornamental plant nurseries. Vegetative methods (green and lignified cuttings, rootstocks, grafting, and layering) are widely used for propagating trees and shrubs for landscaping purposes. Natural vegetative propagation occurs actively in many trees and shrubs, such as willow, poplar, fir, and others.
