Plant cutting, also known as striking or cloning,
is a technique for vegetatively (asexually) propagating plants in which a piece
of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as
moist soil, potting mix, coir or rock wool. The cutting produces new roots, stems,
or both, and thus becomes a new plant independent of the parent.
The qualities of the successful cutting is exactly the same as the mother plant.
