Hajtásvitel

Hajtásvitel is a Hungarian term that translates to "propagation by cuttings" or "stem cutting." It is a common and widely used method of asexual reproduction for plants. This technique involves taking a piece of a stem, or sometimes a leaf, from a parent plant and inducing it to grow roots and develop into a new, independent plant. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent plant, a process known as cloning.

The process typically begins with selecting a healthy, mature shoot from the parent plant. This cutting is then usually treated with a rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in a suitable growing medium, which can be soil, sand, perlite, or a combination of these. Maintaining appropriate moisture levels and providing suitable light and temperature conditions are crucial for successful rooting. Some plants may require specific conditions, such as high humidity, to thrive during this phase.

Hajtásvitel is employed for a vast array of plant species, including many ornamental shrubs, trees, herbaceous plants, and even some fruits. It is a practical method for gardeners and horticulturists to propagate plants efficiently, especially those that are difficult to grow from seed or when it's desirable to maintain specific desirable traits of a parent plant. The ease of execution and relatively low cost make hajtásvitel a popular choice for both amateur and professional plant propagation.
