Rooting method for vegetative plant propagation of hard-to-root plants

摘要

A method of vegetative propagation which comprises (a) developing etiolated shoots on stock plants by immersing a stock plant horizontally in a flat or bed that contains a growing medium; (b) removing said shoots after they have reached a semi-hardwood state; (c) placing the shoots in a high moisture environment and leaving therein until roots adequate for planting have developed; (d) removing the shoots from the high moisture environment; and (e) planting the shoots for growth into plants.
