Layering a clematis. Image 2 of 6. Gardener making an angled cut in a mature clematis stem (Clematis sp.) at a leaf node. This stimulates root development. The stem will produce a separate root system contained within the pot, after which it can be separated from the parent plant. To see a sequence of the process, see B630/524 to B630/527 and B630/532 to B630/533.
