Solution (By Examveda Team)

Chrysanthemum is commercially propagated by Terminal cuttings.
Terminal cuttings of 5 - 7 cm in length are taken from healthy stock plants in June. The cuttings are prepared by removing basal leaves and reducing the leaf area of the remaining leaves to half. The basal portion (less than half an inch) of cuttings is dipped in rooting hormone, for better rooting. Sometimes the lower portion of cuttings is treated with some copper fungicide to avoid fungal growth. These rooted cuttings are ready for planting in the field.
