Plants are started either sexually from seed or spores, or asexually (vegetative reproduction) by various methods. Common asexual methods used in the garden are division, cutting, and layering.

Commonly Used Methods: (Can by done by the amateur gardener) Stem Cuttings (Hardwood, semi-hardwood, or herbaceous) Leaf Cuttings vein, petiole, or leaf section) Division (bulbs, corms, tubers, roots and stems, rhizomes, pseudo bulbs, etc.) Layering (air and ground) Root Cuttings Leaf Bud Cuttings Cane Sections

Specialized Methods (used mostly in commercial nursery trade): Grafting and Budding: (there are many techniques used for grafting, depending on the plant) Tissue Culture (this technique is used commercially and will not be covered)
