Stem and Root Cuttings
Cuttings are parts of roots or stems that are removed from the parent plant and are grown in sand, soil, or water. Small leaf buds develop from the cuttings and become new plants. Flowering plants like bougainvillea, santan, and euphorbia can be propagated through stem cuttings. Celery, asparagus, parsley, and dandelion can be propagated through root cuttings.
Marcotting
Through marcotting, a strip of bark is removed from the stem of the plant. The bark is then wrapped in a piece of cloth filled with soil. When roots grow from the bark, their branches are cut off and planted into the soil.
