Options:
Rose
Anthurium
Jasmine
Crossandra
✅Explanation: Stenting is a vegetative propagation technique primarily used for roses. It involves inserting a short section of a mature rose stem (stem with a node or bud) into a hollowed-out portion of a thick, underground rootstock stem. This creates a physical connection that allows the scion (upper stem cutting) to access the rootstock's vascular system for water and nutrients. Over time, the tissues of the scion and rootstock fuse together, forming a new rose plant with the desired characteristics of the scion variety growing on a robust root system provided by the rootstock.
