Front Give 4 ways plants naturally clone
Back
  • Bulbs (base of leaves swell with food from photo, buds form and new shoots/plants grow)
  • Runners (lateral stems growing away from parent plant, roots form where it touches ground and new shoots/plant forms, runner leaves and plant now independent from parent)
  • Rhizomes
  • Stem tubes (tips of underground stems swell with food from photo forming tubers/storage organs, buds form and grows into new shoots/plant)
