Marcottage, also known as air layering, is a horticultural technique used to propagate plants by encouraging roots to develop on a stem while it is still attached to the parent plant. This method is particularly useful for species that are difficult to root from cuttings. The primary purpose of marcottage is to produce new plants that are genetically identical to the parent, allowing for the cultivation of desired traits. Additionally, it can enhance the survival rate of the new plant compared to traditional cutting methods.
