Explanation

Stem cuttings are the most commonly used method of vegetative propagation. A stem cutting is plant stem including a tip (e.g. shoot, twig, sucker, ) or a portion of a stem, without the apex, that includes one or more nodes removed from a parent plant and capable of rooting.  A stem cutting is used to grow a whole new plant, which is also known as cloning. Hibiscus is grown by this method.
