Across
- 6. Involves bending the entire plant over and covering it completely with soil.
- 12. the growth of tissues or cells in an artificial medium separate from the parent organism.
- 13. Plants with more than one rooted crown (stem) can be divided and the crowns be planted separately.
- 14. taking stem pieces which contain nodes, after roots appear then plant.
- 16. Bend the stem to the rooting medium, and cover different portions with the rooting medium.
- 17. Dig a hole 3-4 inches deep. Insert the shoot tip and cover it with soil.
- 18. Inserting the bottom of a leaf into a soil medium.
- 20. Remove a rectangular piece from the bark from the rootstock. Remove a rectangular piece from the scion with a bud. Plug the bud into the area of the rootstock that has been removed and secure.
- 21. Remove a leaf and include up to 11â2 inches of the petiole.
- 22. During the dormant season cut the plant back to 1 inch above the soil level. In the spring mound the soil over the emerging shoots to encourage rooting.
- 24. Bend the stem to the ground, cover part of it with soil, leaving the last 6-12 inches exposed.
- 26. A stolon is a horizontal fleshy stem that can root and produce new shoots where it touches the medium. Detach the plantlets from the parent plant.
Down
- 1. Form of propagation by which plants that produce tubers multiply. Dig up the clump, gently pull the tubers apart and replant them.
- 2. Joining different plant parts to become one plant.
- 3. Dig up the parent plant and cut a 2- to 3-inch root tip off and replant the root section.
- 4. plants with alternate leaves, take a stem with just one node.
- 5. used on woody stemmed plants take the cutting from around the leaf and axial bud.
- 7. Make a vertical cut and then a horizontal cut at the top of this cut. A âTâ. Place in the scion on the rootstock, fold flaps of wood over and mend up.
- 8. this method is done with opposite leaves, take two nodes with the plant.
- 9. Slit the stem just below a node, and pry it open. Dust with rooting hormone, and pack with saturated sphagnum moss. Cover the moss with clear plastic so it does not dry out, and tape off. Roots will form on the wound. Cut the newly rooted section from the limb.
- 10. inserting a single bud from a desirable plant into an opening in the bark of a compatible rootstock.
- 11. taking the tip of the plant including the terminal bud.
- 15. Taking the cutting above two nodes.
- 19. Slice downward into the rootstock at a 45-degree angle, make a second cut about 1 inch long upward from the first cut. Remove a bud and a chip of the bark from the scion. Fit the piece into the rootstock cut and wrap.
- 23. With a sterile knife or razor blade, make cuts across several prominent veins,right below where the vein splits, on the underside of the leaf. Place the leaf, vein side down into soil.
- 25. propagated by cutting the long leaves into 3- to 4-inch pieces. Insert the cuttings vertically into the medium.
