However in the case of cell cultures from multi-cellular organisms cell cloning is an arduous task as these cells will not readily grow in. However never cut off all branches of a culm. Vegetative reproduction also known as vegetative propagation vegetative multiplication or cloning is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment or cutting of the parent plant or specialized reproductive structures which are sometimes called vegetative propagules.

Identify the location where you will snip your cutting from the main plant. But one of the easiest methods is taking stem cuttings placing them in water or a growing medium until they develop roots and then planting the rooted cuttings into pots or the ground.
