Vegetative propagation is a way of propagation in which vegetative organs such as roots, stems and leaves of higher plants develop into new individuals. Such as tuber propagation of sweet potato, creeping propagation of strawberry, rhizome propagation of bamboo, reed, white spear and lotus, tuber propagation of potato, bulb propagation of lily and onion, bulb propagation of narcissus and taro, and leaf bud propagation of begonia are all natural nutrition propagation. In agriculture, forestry and horticulture, rooting, cutting, layering, grafting and other methods are often used to separate a part of plant vegetative organs from the mother body and make them develop into new individuals, which belongs to artificial nutritional reproduction.

Tissue culture is also a method of artificial nutrition reproduction. Asexual reproduction can enable offspring to maintain the excellent characteristics of their parents. Therefore, flowers, fruit trees, tea, sugarcane, bamboo and other artificially cultivated plants all adopt this propagation method.
