- Propagation by grafting: This process means transferring a small part that contains one bud (graft) from the plant that we want to propagate to another plant (the parent), provided that both plants unite to form a new plant.
- Propagation by cuttings: the shoot comes out of the original plant and is close to the surface of the soil and has independent roots, and that seedling is separated from the original plant and planted independently, as happens in the ornamental palm.
