reproduction

[SGG]

Hi
One of my teachers wants to grow other things besides onions for the reproduction topic. Does anyone have some ideas? Please list all steps as I have a black thumb.

Hi,
Depends what your teacher wants to do, if she wants to colour chromosomes the best and easiest way is with a onion, but for asexual reproduction anything will do (tulip bulb, potato, African violet)
Cutting – Cutting the stem, leaf, or root and placing it in water, soil, or hormones stimulates tissue growth.
Break off a leaf from an African violet plant and place it in a pot of moist soil. You can do the same with a philodendron.
Suspend an avocado halfway in water by inserting toothpicks or place a white potato, cut in half on a plate of water and watch as roots and stems form.
Plant tulip bulbs and observe as the plant grows. Use several different bulbs for variety
