Orchid propagation is the production of more orchids by means of seeds, divisions, and cuttings. There are two methods of orchid propagation sexual and vegetative propagation. Sexual reproduction requires pollination and the transfer of genes through gametes. Vegetative propagation is an asexual reproduction process by which new plant "individuals" arise or are obtained without production of seeds or spores, this includes division, meristem culture, and keikis . The plants from vegetative propagation are clones of the mother plant.
