Hare Rama KrsnaCloning is a from of reproduction. It has been

used in the plant world for millennium. Their is proof of cloned fig

trees from prehistoric ages, where exactly similar genetic material was

found of figs in various places. Parashara mentions cloning in his

Vriksha-ayurveda text. Different forms of reproduction my have different sub-karakas but the primary karaka has to be Venus who rules reproduction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproductionfrom http://www.simplyhydro.com/cuttings.htmTaking cuttings is one of the most popular ways to propagate a

plant. Also referred to as cloning, it offers the ability to get

multiple plants that are genetically identical to the mother plant.

Many people feel intimidated by the process, and are a bit leery to

attempt it. If you are one of those people, relax, it's a relatively

easy process.

What follows are step by step instructions for a simple procedure that works for both hardwood and softwood plants. (NOTE: Not all plants can be cloned in this manner. Some plants are virtually impossible to get cuttings from, even for experts.)

 

Why Take Cuttings?

There are several reasons that you may want to clone your plant, one

being, that it does not require seeds. Cloning may be your only option

for obtaining a certain variety of plant when no seeds are available.

Another reason is to maintain consistent quality control of your crop.

Every seed, like every human being, is slightly different. Aside from

identical twins, genetically, no two people are exactly the same. DNA

works in plants the same way it does in humans. So if you have a plant

that is just what you want it to be, you can take cuttings and have as

many perfect clones of your special plant as you want.

Another big factor which makes cloning so popular is that in most

cases, it’s much faster than starting from seed. The majority of plant

species will produce a rooted, growing plant from a clone before the

seeds of the same species can even sprout, saving a lot of time.Souvik Dutta <explore_vulcansohamsa Sent: Wed, March 17, 2010 9:47:51 PM[soHamsa] Cloning
