It is possible to avoid mutagenic effects in certain species that happened if propagated by cutting

t is possible to generate few individuals of important species with minimum propagation facilities.

It is possible to propagate difficult to root plants vegetatively.

Demerits :

This method of propagation is limited to plants which form growing points readily

It is difficult to produce large number of plants through this method. In other words, this method does not use propagation material economically.
