How long do you have from taking a plant cutting until you must plant in a medium as in plant propagation?

It really depends on the plant the cutting was taken from. Something like a succulent requires that it NOT be put in a medium immediately because the raw openning must try and seal itself in the air. Then in order to have a good root system develop before rot sets in, it merely has to be laid on top of sand, soil, or even cement. HOWEVER, a plant such as euphorbia, mums, or celibrachoa requires protection from open air and MUST stay cool until it is put in well watered soil. A good way to determine if a cutting needs to be put in the watery soil is to test the mother plant. If the leaves are thin then that usually means it has a low water content in the plant, and therefore will wrinkle and the cells will collapse.

What is cutting and grafting in science?
cutting is a method of artificial propagation in which the small stem cutting having buds is sowed to get plant variety and in grafting a piece of stem of desired plant is connected to the stem of another plant..
How long do you have from the time you take a plant cutting's until it has to be placed in a medium as in the case of plant propagation?
Depends entirely on the species of plant. Some plants have to be placed in the medium directly after cutting to prevent air bubbles entering the vessels and causing blockages. Others can be left out for a number of days or even weeks before planting as they form a callus layer before rooting - eg. Frangipani (Plumeria species)
What kind of plant that go through vegetative propagation?
posion ivy Vegetative propagation is the use of the part of a growing plant as either a cutting , graft or layer to root a new plant as opposed to germination from seed.
How are cuttings produced in agriculture or gardening?
A cutting is simply a piece of the parent plant, suitable for propagation. After it is rooted it becomes a plant, a clone of the parent.
If a man cuts stems off of a plant and regrows them in wet sand what form of reproduction is this?
It is propagation by stem cutting.
Plant Propagation?
