Be careful with bamboo, that stuff is hard to get rid of once its going.  I suggest keeping it in a pot of possible.

Cuttings - take a piece of the plant, usually stem, and plant it. With luck it will root & grow into a clone of the original plant. (You can also take leaf & root cuttings.)\n\nMicropopagation -take just a few plant cells. Put into a special culture medium & treat with plant hormones. The cells divide and form a callus. Alter the ratio of hormones and the callus grows roots. Alter them again and it then grows leaves. You then have a very small plant.

you could make antibiotic/antiviral resistant strains of viruses or bacterea. change the genetics of plants to create more of a certain toxin so you can get a greater yield of toxin per plant. The most efficient way to distribute the toxin would be through the water supply. many places either do not check their water or do not check it well enough.

You need to give a better description about the plant in general but... it sounds like you have Amelanchier Lamarkii (a popular ornamental).

I can't be sure, but I think oatmeal would work. That's what the stuff we were growing them on in genetics lab looked like, anyway.

There isn't a "species", because Aloe vera is itself the species you are asking about. However, I have seen some varieties of it with hardly any spikes along the leaf edges. In part, I think this may happen when it is growing rapidly in length. I don't know specifically how to encourage this kind of leaves, but looking for an individual with this type of leaves might work for you? Also, look for a representative with FAT leaves, and they won't seem as spiky.

Just choose five deciduous trees - oak, maple, elm, poplar, hickory, chestnut, etc.  Of course, if you need to be more specific, white or red oak, sugar or red maple, American elm, yellow poplar, American chestnut, etc.  If you need things other than trees, try shrubs (multi-floral rose, sweet shrub or japonica) or fruit-bearing plants (blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, gooseberry).

use 1x2 pieces of wood...drilling a hole about 2 inches from each end and inserting a bolt with a butterfly nut for each bolt...you will need to make it square and will need enough wood for 2 frames w/ 4 pieces each, 4 bolts and nuts...I'm not sure what you would put in the middle to actually place the plant on...I'm thinking paper, but you take the top frame off, place the plant on the paper, attach the top frame and tighten it with the butterfly nuts

if you have no luck growing Kudzu you gotta brown thumb - you do need to keep the soil moist tho and it likes filtered sun not direct ( the young plants start in shaded areas only when older can they take sun )\n\noh yea you need a runner with a 'node' on it to propagate ( you won't have a lot of luck just using a random piece ) that is how it spreads in the wild and why it is so invasive it rarely propergates with seed

By vegetative propagation by grafting high quality scion on inferior quality stock.It is done by various means.ne of the joys of growing old roses is the fact that most of them thrive as own root plants; that is, they will grow as well - or better - from cuttings as they do when grafted onto a rootstock, the way most modern roses are grown and sold. Rooting cuttings is a relatively simple matter. It is the way most old roses were handed down from one family member or friend to another, and the way many old rose collectors prefer growing them today. Fortunately for us in Texas and the South, most of our better adapted old roses are particularly well adapted to growing on their own roots and can be successfully propagated by anyone interested in making the effort. Remember that roses still under patent (17 years from date of introduction) cannot be legally propagated without paying a royalty to the holder of the patent. \nSome old roses, like those in the Gallica and Rugosa classes, tend to sucker badly and may spread into areas where they are not welcome. If this is a concern, varieties that sucker may be grafted or budded onto a rootstock that does not have this characteristic, such as R. fortuniana or R. multiflora. \nThe following suggestions for rooting rose cuttings are not likely to result in 90 to 100 percent rooting, but neither do they require special structures, watering systems, or daily supervision. Success will vary because of the large number of variables involved, but many people report 50 to 75 percent of the cuttings they treat in this manner develop into usable plants.\nWhen to take the cuttings-\nRoses may be rooted at any time of the year, but for home gardeners, success is much more likely during the cool months from November through February. Late fall is a favorite time because there are usually a few blossoms still remaining on everblooming types to identify them.\nHow to take cuttings-\nThe easiest part of the rose to root is the tip of stems that have recently bloomed. Ideally, these tips have withered flowers, or hips, beginning to form. The flower heads or hips should be removed down to the first set of healthy leaves. Cuttings should be 6 to 8 inches long and be cut from the parent plant with a sharp knife or pruning shears at about a 45 degree angle. It is important that the cuttings not be allowed to dry out or be exposed to extreme heat or cold, at least until they are stuck into the rooting medium. Experienced old rose collectors often carry styrofoam ice chests, plastic bags, a small amount of water, and ice if they are likely to be in very hot conditions before getting the cuttings to the rooting area. Cuttings may be stored for several days in this manner, if necessary, but the sooner they are stuck, the better.\nPreparing the Cuttings-\nThe use of rooting hormones has been shown to increase the percentage of cuttings to root and the number of roots per cutting, but it is not necessary for success. Rooting hormones are commercially available in powder form and are popular with some rose growers. Others also like to use one-inch sections of cut branches from willows, cut both horizontally and laterally, to soak in a pan of water that has been brought to a rolling boil (rainwater is ideal). Allow the willow pieces to steep in the water overnight. It should look like weak tea. Remove the willow pieces and soak the rose cuttings in the concoction for several hours. It is helpful to recut the rose cuttings about a half-inch from the ends before placing in the willow water. Willow water may be prepared in advance to facilitate the process. It may also be used for the initial watering of the newly stuck cuttings. Although it sounds a bit far out, research at the Ohio State University has shown that willows (apparently any species of Salix) contain substances that can induce rooting and prevent ìdamping offî or canker in other plants. This substance can be successfully removed from the willow wood
