Question

Explain natural vegetative propagation through leaves giving example.

Answer 1

Vegetative propagation by leaves is when a leaf roots in water or soil. Either when a branch or stem is covered in soil or water or when a leaf is broken or cut off and deposited/planted in water or soil and allowed to root.

A common example is with house plants like the green pathos. You can break or cut off a leaf or a section with a few leaves and put it in water or soil and it will root.





 

Answer 2

Answer:

The process of reproduction in plants through root, stem, and leaves is called as vegetative propagation.

Explanation:

When the plant produces off spring through leaf, it is said to have propagated vegetative through leaf. Plants like Bryophyllum, Begonia, and etc., have unusual buds turning out from the indents of the leaves. These buds form into new plants.  

The buds propagated out of the leaves develop roots and then gets converted into new plants.
