Most plants (this includes mosses and ferns as well as seed plants) can reproduce asexually naturally and even more can reproduce asexually if induced with growth hormones. There are multiple ways for plants to reproduce asexually, some use stem and root modifications such as stolons and runners other may produce genetically identical seeds (agamospermy). There are no reliable counts or proportions of plants reproducing with a mixture of sexual and asexual means but it's thought that most perennial plants can engage in asexual reproduction.

How does the heliconia reproduce?

Heliconia plants can reproduce by seeds, but more commonly the rhizomes (root system of this type of plant) are divided and new plants allowed to from.


Why do many plants reproduce asexually when their enviromental conditions is good?

Because it allows them to reproduce much more quickly. When environmental conditions are poor, plants reproduce sexually because it allows them to produce tougher offspring that will withstand the bad conditions. If a plant is not healthy because of its environment, it can mate with a more healthy plant to produce healthier offspring. This, however, is a much slower form of reproduction which is why plants normally reproduce asexually.


What plants use wind to reproduce?

Plants like grasses, ferns, and conifers use wind to reproduce through a process called pollination. These plants produce lightweight pollen that is carried by the wind to reach other plants for fertilization. Wind-pollinated plants do not rely on animals, such as bees, for pollination.


What plant reproduce by leaf?

Plants like African violets, jade plants, and spider plants can reproduce by leaf propagation. This involves taking a leaf or part of a leaf from the plant and encouraging it to develop roots, eventually growing into a new plant.


Do ferns reproduce bulbs?

No, ferns do not reproduce through bulbs. Ferns reproduce through spores, which are produced in structures called sporangia on the underside of their fronds. The spores are released into the environment and can germinate to grow into new fern plants. Bulbs are more commonly associated with plants like onions and tulips.

How do lemmings reproduce?

Would there be more variation in flowering plants than asexualy reproduced plants?

Most definitly. Asexually reproduced plants are clones of each others so have no genetic variation. Sexually reproduced planst combine the dominant genes from both the partent plants

How do clovers reproduce?

Clovers are delicate plants in the plantae kingdom. They reproduce because plants are both the same sex and when they reproduce they create more cells which produce more clovers. Those other clovers will grow around the original first one.


Do humans reproduce sexually or asexually?

Can only single-celled organisms reproduce asexually?

NO!!! Multicellular organisms can reproduce asexually too! Some plants and animals reproduce this way, and they are certainly more than one cell!
