Detailed Solution

Layering is a method of vegetative propagation where new plants are grown from the stems of the parent plant while they are still attached. Some examples of plants that can be propagated by layering include:

Rose bushes – Rose stems can be bent to the ground and covered with soil to develop new roots.
Blackberry – Similar to roses, the branches are bent to the ground and rooted in soil.
Honeysuckle – This climbing plant can be propagated by layering.
Curry leaf plant – The branches of this plant can be layered to form new roots.
These plants propagate successfully via layering because it allows the new plant to develop roots before being detached from the parent.
