Vegatative Reproduction
Propagation by cutting
A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation. A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil. ... A stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems.

Tissue Culture
Tissue culture is the growth of tissues or cells in an artificial medium separate from the parent organism. This technique is also called micropropagation. This is typically facilitated via use of a liquid, semi-solid, or solid growth medium, such as broth or agar.
-
Propagation by bulb
Bulbs are food storage units for future developing plants. Bulbs contain several buds near the node, which is where leaves are produced. These new buds can eventually develop into new plants. ... Because this one plant produces new offspring that are genetically identical, bulbs are a form of vegetative propagation.

Propagation by rhizome
Rhizomes are root-like stems that grow horizontally under the ground. New roots and shoots form at the nodes with shoots growing upwards to form new plantlets. Lateral buds grow out to form new rhizomes. Examples include iris and root ginger.
-
Propagation by tuber
Tubers, such as potatoes, are fleshy underground storage structures composed of enlarged parts of the stem. A tuber functions in asexual propagation as a result of the tiny scale leaves equipped with buds that grow on its surface. Each of these buds can form a new plant, genetically identical to the parent.
-
Propagation by layering
Layering is a means of plant propagation in which a portion of an above-ground stem grows roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant. ... Layering is also utilized by horticulturists to propagate desirable plants.
-
Propogation by grafting
Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins plant parts from different plants together so they will heal and grow as one plant. ... The part of the vegetative wood, usually the stem or other aboveground plant part, from the desired variety to be propagated is called the scion.
