What is Vegetative Plant Propagation?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cuttings taken from a shoot tip, leaf, meristem, stem, and root tissue and placed in the appropriate growth media, allow for the production of large numbers of plants and is often termed as micropropagation.

Tissue culture is a process where tiny plantlets are maintained on sterile artificial media containing nutrients.
