MARCOTTING OR AIR LAYERING, an asexual or grafting, this method is employed to convert one plant

vegetative method of plant propagation, can be easily
performed with less skill. Air layering is just slightly different
from other methods of layering such as tip layering, simple
layering, compound or serpentine layering, etc. In all these
methods, the induction of root development is usually done
by wounding the part of the plant to be rooted.
(therootstock) into another plant type with desirable
characteristics. Similarly, the resulting plants in general
have shortened stature and maturity as compared to plants
propagated from seed.

BUDDING, oftenly called bud grafting, is an artificial

method of asexual or vegetative propagation in plants. Like
GRAFTING is the process of joining two plants together
(an upper portion and a lower portion) to grow as one.
The upper portion of the plant is known as the scion,
which is attached to the lower portion known as the
rootstock.
A solution in chemistry is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
 The substance which is dissolved is called a solute.
 The substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent.
Main characteristics of a solution
Solution is homogenous
That the solution is a homogenous mixture means that it forms a single phase. You cannot
differentiate one substance from another within the solution. Characteristics of a solution
are identically distributed through it. For an easy example, if you dissolve sugar in water
but some of the sugar is still visibly laying on the bottom of the container (or even floating
moved by movement of water) then this not part of a solution - only the dissolved
"invisible" sugar is.
You cannot see a solute inside a solvent, nor can you mechanically take one out of another
(eg. taking dissolved sugar from water is impossible with a sifter or another mechanical
method).
Solution is stable
A solution is stable in given conditions. Eg. in a particular temperature and pressure it
does not require stirring or other methods to remain homogenous.
Solution is in one phase
That the whole solution is on one phase means that the wole of it is either gasous, liqiud
or solid.
Which is the solute and which is the solvent?
Usually it is easy do determine which substance is a solute and which is a solvent.
The solute when dissolved takes on the charachteristics of the of the solvent. A solution
is composed in majority of a solvent (there is more of it then the solute). A sugar dissolved
in water seems to take on it's characteristics and there is more water than sugar in the
solution.
Examples of solutions
Common example of a solution in every day life is salt or sugar (solute) dissolved in water
(solvent). Below you can find links to futhrer examples of various types of solutions with
a more detailed explanation.
