Horticulture is the art of cultivating plants in gardens to produce food and medicinal ingredients, or for comfort and ornamental purposes.

Propagation, the controlled perpetuation of plants, is the most basic of horticultural practices. Its two objective are to achieve an increase in numbers and to preserve the essential characteristics of plant. Propagation can be achieved sexually by seed or asexually by utilizing specialized vegetative structure or by employing such techniques as cutting, layering, grafting and tissue culture. The most common method of propagation for self-pollinated plants is by seed. In self-pollinated plants, the sperm nuclei in pollen produce by a flower fertilize egg cells of a flower on the same plant.
