layering

A method of plant propagation involving the pegging down of runners and stolons to the soil surface. Adventitious roots develop where a node touches the soil and a shoot develops from the lateral meristem. New daughter plants eventually establish. Carnations are commonly propagated in this way. See also air layering.
