Here's your answer! ❤️

What is Cutting and Layering?

Answer - Cutting - portion of a stem, root, or leaf cut from the parent plant for the production of a new independent plant by inducing it to form shoots and roots under favorable environmental conditions (for example, stem cuttings, leaf cuttings, leaf-bud cuttings, and root cuttings)

Layering - a method of plant propagation in which a bent stem is covered with soil in order to generate new roots. Stems that are still attached to their parent plant may form roots where they come in contact with a rooting medium. The development of roots on a stem while the stem is still attached to the parent plant is called layering. A layer is the rooted stem following detachment (removal) from the parent plant.

The major differences between Cutting and Layering in plants are -

Cutting

1. Cutting planted before rooting.

2. Any vegetative part is used.

3. Simple process.

4. Cutting may dry up, not suitable for all plants.

Layering

1. Planted after rooting.

2. Only stem portion used.

3. Not a simple process. A ring of tissues from a convenient part of branch is removed that contains both bark and vascular cambium. The portion is covered with moist earth and kept moist by regular watering. The branch is cut just below the portion of root formation and is planted.

4. Very effective method as stem cuttings have roots

Hope it helps you! ☺️✌️
