Question

(a) Explain how, new Bryophyllum plants can be produced from the leaves of the old plant? Illustrate your answer with the help of a labelled diagram.
(b) How can you grow money plant by vegetative propagation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Reproduction in Bryophyllum occurs asexually through vegetative propagation by leaves. ... These buds can give rise to new plants with adventitious roots, shoots and small leaves. The new plants then detach from the leaves and develop into a mature plant after coming in contact with the soil.

Money plant can be grown by vegetative propagation by using a piece of its stem which contains at least one leaf on it. It is dipped into the water and after a few days new roots appear at the point where the leaf was attached. This piece of stem grows gradually into a new money plant
