== 1. Keuntungan mencangkok ==
* Tanaman yang kita tanam tersebut akan cepat tumbuh akarnya.
* Pohon lebih cepat berbuah jika dibandingkan dengan menanam menggunakan biji.
* Apabila kita menanam pohon hasil cangkokan maka bisa di pastikan tingkat keberhasilan sangat tinggi ini karena pohon sudah ada akarnya maka akar pohon akan bisa menyerap humus yang ada di dalam tanah.
== 2. Kerugian mencangkok ==
* Batang tanaman mudah tumbang karena berakar serabut.
* Pada musim kemarau panjang tanaman tidak tahan kering.
* Dalam satu pohon induk kita hanya bisa mencangkok beberapa batang saja sehingga perbanyakan tanaman dalam jumlah besar tidak dilakukan dengan cara ini<!--.
'''Layering''' is a means of [[plant propagation]] in which a portion of an aerial [[Plant stem|stem]] grow [[root]]s while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant. Layering has evolved as a common means of vegetative propagation of numerous species in natural environments. Layering is also utilised by horticulturists to propagate desirable plants.
Natural layering typically occurs when a branch touches the ground, whereupon it produces [[adventitious roots]]. At a later stage the connection with the parent plant is severed and a new plant is produced as a result.
The horticultural layering process typically involves wounding the target region to expose the inner stem and optionally applying [[auxin|rooting compound]]s. In '''ground layering''', the stem is bent down and the target region buried in the soil. This is done in [[nursery (horticulture)|plant nurseries]] in imitation of natural layering by many plants such as [[bramble]]s which bow over and touch the tip on the ground, at which point it grows roots and, when separated, can continue as a separate plant. In either case, the rooting process may take from several weeks to a year.
Layering is more complicated than taking [[Cutting (plant)|cuttings]], but has the advantage that the propagated portion can continue to receive [[water]] and [[nutrient]]s from the parent plant while it is forming roots. This is important for plants that form roots slowly, or for propagating large pieces.
==Ground layering==
Ground layering is the typical propagation technique for the popular [[Malling-Merton]] series of [[Cloning|clonal]] [[apple]] rootstocks in which the original plants are set in the ground with the stem nearly horizontal, which forces side buds to grow upward. After these are started the original stem is buried up to the tip. At the end of the growing season, the side branches will have rooted, and can be separated while the plant is dormant. Some of these will be used for [[grafting]] rootstocks, and some can be reused in the nursery for the next growing season's crop.
