Itt leírják a folyamat lényegét:

"What greater thrill for a gardener than to select a favourite plant and have the ability to reproduce it! Seed collection is one way of expanding your plant population but another way is by making cuttings. Nursery growers have perfected this art over years of experience. Propagation by cuttings takes a bit of a knack.

Cuttings can be taken from roots, leaves or stems. The stem cuttings can either be softwood, from the current season's growth, or hardwood from the dormant wood of the current season. Softwood cuttings are taken in the late spring or early summer and hardwood cuttings are taken in the fall or early winter. The easiest type for home gardeners to try and the one expanded upon here, are softwood cuttings."

"Many deciduous trees and shrubs are easily propagated from hardwood cuttings."

Általános értelemben a "propagate" önmagában is elég és akkor beleérthető a magról és egyéb módon történő szaporítás is.

"Plant propagation, the production of more plants by seeds, cuttings, grafting or other methods."
