The following methods are distinguished in the propagation of vegetative plants: by division -i.e. by detaching a piece or cutting the entire plant into pieces, each of which has its own roots and at least one bud, used for many ornamental perennials and shrubs; by underground organs -cubules, tubers (shoot-like crocus, gladiolus; subcyclic – as in tuberous begonia; root – as in dalii), rhizome, beetroot roots (carroty), runners (e.g. strawberries); przez sadzonkowanie – z sadzonki, i.e.. from the part of the shoot cut off from the mother plant (e.g. currant and grapevine), the leaf (e.g. sedum) or root (e.g. mak, mak); by root suckers – shoots growing from the underground part of the mother plant, separated from it during the period of its retirement (e.g. mak, raspberries); by layering - shoots of the mother plant not initially separated from it, which produce roots (e.g. in parts bent from the mother plant and buried in the soil for a length of 10…15 cm, leaving uncovered apical parts – m.in. mak, vine, currants, in parts of last year's shoots covered with moist peat and wrapped in foil
15…25 cm below the apex – m.in. mak, rhododendron); by vaccination .
