Question 19

Paheli has a rose plant in her garden. How can she increase the number of rose plants in the garden?

Answer 1

Paheli can increase the number of rose plants in the garden by the method of stem cutting. Stem cutting refers to a process whereby a piece of the plant’s stem is rooted in moist soil in which the stem cutting will thrive and grow as a new plant, which is entirely independent of the mother plant. The cutting should be made in such a way that there are some buds on the stem. This method is mainly used in woody shrubs and ornamental plants.
