Vegetative propogation is practised for growing some type of plants because it has the following advantages:
i) All the plants produced by vegetative propogation are genetically similar enough to the parent plant to have all its characteristics.
ii) The fruit trees grown from seeds may take many years before they start to bear fruits. But the fruit trees grown by vegetative propogation methods like cuttings or by grafting start to bear fruits much earlier (only after a few growing seasons).
iii) The plants grown by vegetative propogation usually need less attention in their early years than the plants grown from seeds.
iv) Many plants can be grown from just one parent plant by artificial propogation.
v) Vegetative propogation makes possible the propogating of plants such as banana, rose, jasmine and organge that have lost the capacity to produce visible seeds.
