    (i) Plant raised by vegetative propagation can bear flower and fruits earlier than those produced from seeds.
    (ii) It also helps in propagation of plants such as banana, orange, rose and jasmine that have lost the capacity to produce seeds.
    (iii) All plants produced by this method are genetically similar to the parent plant to have its all characteristics.
    (iv) Thus, desirable features of parent plant can be retained and expressed without any change future generations.
