Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants from a variety of sources: seed s, cuttings, bulb s and other plant parts.Plant propagation can also refer to the artificial or natural dispersal of plant s.n some plants seeds can be produced without fertilization and the seeds contain only the genetic material of the parent plant. Therefore, propagation via asexual seeds or apomixis is asexual reproduction but not vegetative propagation.
