The document discusses plant propagation, potting, repotting, and indoor plants. It describes that plant propagation can occur sexually through floral parts or asexually through other plant parts. It outlines various asexual propagation methods like cuttings, division, and runners. It also discusses potting plants, repotting them when bound in pots, and some indoor plant options that clean the air like aloe vera, spider plant, and peace lily. Toxic indoor plants are also noted.
2. Plant propagation
Plant propagation is the process of
creating new plants.
There are two types of propagation:
