Growing plants by different ways:

a) seeds
b) stem
c) leaves
d) roots
e) spores
 Growing plant through stem
• Some plants like rose, hibiscus and money plant can be grown
from stem cutting.
• The plant from which the stem is cut, is the mother plant.
• The cutting is planted in the soil.
• After a few day, stem cutting grows into a new plant.
Rose plant from stem cutting
 Potato, onion and ginger are stems.
The buds on these stem can grow into new plants
 Growing plant through leaves
• Leaves of some plant have buds in the notches along
the margins. These bud develop into new plantlets.
• When these leaves fall on soil, these develop into
separate plant.
 Growing plant through roots

• Some plants store food in their roots.

• These roots can be used to grow into a whole new
plant. Eg:
 Growing plant through spores
• Leaves of some plants have spores which are found on the
underside.
• These spores when come in contact with soil, they grow into a
new plant.
• Fungi like mushroom, bread mould also grow from spores.
Fungi on bread – the spores causes production
of more and more fungi
