Intro to Botany
Layering is a method of vegetative reproduction in plants where a stem is encouraged to develop roots while still attached to the parent plant. This technique allows for the propagation of new plants without needing to use seeds, making it an effective means for cloning desirable varieties. Layering can be particularly useful for plants that are difficult to root from cuttings or when maintaining the characteristics of a parent plant is important.
