	Plant propagation -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Plant propagation is the process of artificially or naturally propagating (distributing or spreading) (A living organism lacking the power of locomotion) plants.
		Plants have a number of mechanisms for asexual or (additional info and facts about vegetative reproduction) vegetative reproduction, these have been taken advantage of by (An expert in the science of cultivating plants (fruit or flowers or vegetables or ornamental plants)) horticulturists, and gardeners to produce plants rapidly.
		Plants are produced using material from a single parent and as such there is no exchange of genetic material, therefore vegetative propagation methods almost always produces plants that are identical the parent.

	Landscape Plant Propagation Workbook: Unit I. General Principles of Plant Propagation
		Sexual propagation is multiplication of plants from seed, and asexual, or vegetative, propagation involves starting a new plant from some vegetative part of a parent plant.
		Woody plants are perennial, meaning their life extends over several years, and woody plants that produce seed usually do so every year after they mature and the environmental factors are favorable.
		Plants in a juvenile stage of growth may have leaf and growth habits different from desirable characteristics in a mature form of the plant.

		Plant propagation is the controlled reproduction of plants by man. Two basic methods of plant propagation are sexual (seed) and asexual (vegetative).
		Layering is a method of plant propagation used to induce plant stems to root while still attached to the mother plant.
		As a general rule, plants that bloom in spring should be divided in the fall (peonies, iris, bleeding hearts), while plants that bloom in the fall should be divided in the spring (chrysanthemums, asters).

	PLANT PROPAGATION
		Asexual propagation does not involve exchange of genetic material, so it almost always produces plants that are identical to a single parent.

	Propagating House Plants; G77-337-A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Propagating house plants in the home is an inexpensive and enjoyable hobby.
		House plants may be propagated asexually, in which all new plants will be identical, in most cases, to the parent plant, or sexually, where the new plants will not necessarily be identical to the parent plants.
		Plants grown from seeds take longer to reach maturity but are less costly than purchasing commercially available house plants.

	Methods of Plant Propagation
		Cuttings involve rooting a severed piece of the parent plant; layering involves rooting a part of the parent and then severing it; and budding and grafting are joining two plant parts from different varieties.
		Propagation from the following plant parts can be considered a modification of layering, as the new plants form before they are detached from their parent plants.
		Plants with a rosetted stem often reproduce by forming new shoots at their base or in leaf axils.

		Plant propagation is the process of multiplying the numbers of a species, perpetuating a species, or maintaining the youthfulness of a plant.
		Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant.
		The advantages of sexual propagation are that it may be cheaper and quicker than other methods; it may be the only way to obtain new varieties and hybrid vigor; in certain species, it is the only viable method for propagation; and it is a way to avoid transmission of certain diseases.
