Answers (1)

Both Bryophyllum and Kalanchoe are plants that can be vegetatively propagated using leaf fragments. These plants have the ability to produce new individuals from leaf cuttings, which can be placed in a suitable growing medium to develop roots and eventually form new plants.

In Bryophyllum, the leaf margins contain adventitious buds capable of forming new plantlets when the leaf is detached and placed in a favorable environment. Similarly, in Kalanchoe, leaf cuttings can produce new plants through the development of adventitious roots and shoots.

Therefore, Option 1 is the correct answer.
