The buds produced for propagation in Bryophyllum arise from the notches along the margins of its leaves. These buds are called adventitious buds or more specifically epiphyllous buds because they develop on the leaf surface rather than the usual locations like stem axils
. These adventitious buds grow roots, stems, and leaves when they come into contact with soil, enabling vegetative propagation. This unique mode of reproduction allows Bryophyllum to form new plants from its leaf margins without seeds
. Summary:
- Part of Bryophyllum where buds are produced: Leaf margins (notches)
- Type of buds: Adventitious buds / Epiphyllous buds
- Role: These buds develop into new plants during vegetative propagation
