Natural Production Clones Describe Exploited Horticulture Splitting Bulbs

In horticulture, natural cloning methods such as dividing bulbs, separating plantlets from runners, and cutting rhizomes are used to cost-effectively increase plant numbers. Utilizing cuttings is another common technique.

Horticulture utilizes natural cloning methods like splitting bulbs, removing runners, and cutting rhizomes to increase plant numbers cost-effectively. Cuttings are also used for this purpose.
