4. Cuttings:

Cuttings will create numerous trees that are hereditary identical to the "parent" tree or bonsai. By taking cuttings, you can create new trees from a tree that contains the characteristics you consider to be important and suitable for a bonsai tree to have. You can also start bonsai trees from cuttings faster than from seeds. Some species of trees will produce a rooted, growing tree - from a cutting - before the seeds of another tree can even sprout! Saving you tons of time and, quite often, weeks of worry.

5. Starting from Seeds:

There are two advantages to growing bonsai trees from seeds. The first is that you can grow rare species of bonsai trees for a relatively small price and make a massive cultivation. The second is that you can control every aspect of your tree during each stage of its development.

6. Grafting:

“Grafting method is generally used for propagating trees, when propagation by cuttings or by seeds is impossible or unfeasible. By grafting, the selected branch or trunk (scion) of a desired parent plant is attached to the potted or transplanted tree (root-stock). Grafting techniques are frequently applied at nurseries for reproducing lots of desirable species to develop bonsai material.”
