The cutting is able to produce new roots, usually at the node. Root cuttings, in which a section of root is buried just below the soil surface, and produces new shoots. [27]
Layering is a vegetative propagation technique where the stem or branch of a plant is manipulated to promote root development while still attached to the parent plant. Once roots are established, the new plant can be detached from the parent and planted. Layering is utilized by horticulturists to propagate desirable plants.
