Question

How does the Bryophyllum plant multiply?

Open in App
Solution

Reproduction in Bryophyllum occurs asexually through vegetative propagation by leaves. The leaf of Bryophyllum is broad and has notches at its margins. Buds arise from the notches. These buds are called epiphyllous buds. These buds can give rise to new plants with adventitious roots, shoots, and small leaves. The new plants then detach from the leaves and develop into a mature plant after coming in contact with the soil.
