Answer 1

Vegetative propagation:

1. Vegetative propagation means giving rise to new plants from the vegetative part of plant-like roots, shoots, buds, or leaves.
2. In Bryophyllum, vegetative propagation takes place through the leaves.
3. The plant has buds along the margins, in the notches of its leaves.
4. During favorable conditions, small plants (plantlets) develop from these buds, at the margin of the leaves.
5. When these leaves or the plantlets fall off on the moist soil, they grow into new independent plants.

Final answer: Bryophyllum shows vegetative propagation by leaves.
