Across
  1. 1. Produce two seed leaves
  2. 9. Second set of leaves
  3. 11. Young plants grown from seeds
  4. 12. Percentage of seeds that sprout and begin to grow.
  5. 13. The first sets of leaves
  6. 15. For leaf cuttings, this vein must be cut in order to make roots form
  7. 17. Separating natural structures of a plant without making a cut
  8. 19. Rooting media should be this deep (inches)
  9. 22. Using a small amount of plant tissue to grow in a sterile environment. Gets the most plants in a short time and is true to parent plant
  10. 23. Joining separate plant parts together so that they form a union and grow together to make one plant
  11. 24. A form of grafting when a bud is used instead of a scion
  12. 25. The multiplication and reproduction of a kind or a species
  13. 28. produce one seed leaf
Down
  1. 2. Reproduction method hat is a fast way to get many plants
  2. 3. The piece of the plant at the root or bottom of graft
  3. 4. Creeping above ground stem that grows horizontally and produces roots and shoots at the nodes
  4. 5. Swollen, modified stem that grows underground.
  5. 6. A type of layering in which shoots of established plants are placed horizontally at the base of a trench, and the new shoots are covered at intervals during growth
  6. 7. This process reduces humidity and water and make environment more like outside to reduces stress on seedlings before transplanting
  7. 8. Substance that kills fungi or inhibits their growth
  8. 10. Means that the vascular cambium is actively growing, and the bark can be peeled easily from the stock piece with little damage
  9. 11. Piece of plant at the top of graft
  10. 14. Scarring a small area of the stem to produce new plants
  11. 15. Best time of day for rooting from cutting because plants have more moisture
  12. 16. Cutting apart rhizomes, tubers, runners, stolons, or suckers to get new plants
  13. 18. Reproduction method that uses growing plant parts other than seeds
  14. 20. The round parts of some plants that are underground
  15. 21. Using a small piece of stem to reproduce plants. Uses hormones and dipping in fungicides help speed up rooting
  16. 26. Creeping underground stem, usually horizontal, that produces roots and leaves at the nodes
  17. 27. An enlarged, bulb-like, fleshy structure found at the base of a stem. Usually flattened and round
