The plantlet can then be removed from the parent plant in 7-10 days.

The plant may also reproduce by growing a plantlet and runners.

Each rooted plantlet will match the mother plant in characteristics.

The plantlet which appears can be rooted and grown like normal plants.

If removed too soon, the plantlet will not have the energy or water reserves to produce roots before dying.

Pinning the plantlet to the soil with a bent paper clip can be helpful.

If the trunk is in contact with the ground a new plantlet will often grow from the fallen trunk.

After pollination, the new plantlet appears where the flower emerged and the stalk continues to grow longer.

There was a tiny plantlet growing there.

Once the embryo begins to germinate - grow out from the seed - it is called a seedling (plantlet).

False vivipary is an abnormal condition found in many types of plants in which a plantlet is produced where the flower should appear.

The weight of the growing plantlet causes the stalk to bend toward the ground, allowing the new plantlet to root away from its parent.

I have friends who claim they sold their property because the adorable little ajuga plantlet that was once a gift from a "benevolent friend" conquered the lawn.

Depending on conditions, a plantlet can take anywhere from a few weeks to almost a year before producing new roots, and may take even longer to grow fine roots and become established.

By root plantlet: Un-pot a plant that you know is susceptible to producing root plantlets (e.g. Streptocarpus johannis, and Streptocarpus 'Falling Stars'.

In the case of pick-a-back, which form plantlets on the tops of leaves, sever the leaf from the plant in insert leaf stem and plantlet in a pot filled with potting mixture.

Other forms of apomixis occur in plants also, including the generation of a plantlet in replacement of a seed or the generation of bulbils instead of flowers, where new cloned individuals are produced.

Since the plantlets grow a rosette of leaves before beginning root growth, when rooting plantlets, it is very important that plantlet is not removed before it has developed stilt roots to a length of at least 3 cm.

Thus "normal asexual reproduction" of plants, such as propagation from cuttings or leaves, has never been considered to be apomixis, but replacement of the seed by a plantlet, or replacement of the flower by bulbils are types of apomixis.
