Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical its parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual propagation is also known as vegetative propagation. This type of propagation is where seed is not needed, but instead a portion of the vegetation is used for new growth. Asexual propagation can be done in a variety of ways.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual propagation is a type of plant reproduction using roots, stems, or leaves of a parent plant. Asexual propagation produces a genetically identical plant to the parent plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stem Cuttings: This technique is probably the most versatile of all methods used for vegetative propagation. It can be used for both herbaceous and woody material. Herbaceous stem cuttings can be made from houseplants, annual flowers and bedding plants, ground covers, and some perennials.

Detailed explanation-5: -The major methods of asexual propagation are cuttings, layering, budding and grafting. Cuttings involve rooting a severed piece of the parent plant; layering involves rooting a part of the parent and then severing it; and budding and grafting is joining two plant parts from different varieties.
