Plant propagation is the process by which new plants grow from a variety of sources: seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can also refer to the man-made or natural dispersal rice pit seeds.

Propagation typically occurs as a step in the overall cycle of plant growth. Countless plants are propagated each day in horticulture and agriculture. The materials commonly used for plant propagation are seeds and cuttings. This section needs additional citations for verification.
