| 1. | Prepare rooting and germination media used in ornamental plant propagation according to technical requirements. |
| 2. | Explain the principles of generative propagation and seed physiology, and apply methods to overcome seed dormancy. |
| 3. | Conduct cutting and layering propagation processes using cutting types, layering principles, and plant growth regulators. |
| 4. | Differentiate and practice budding and scion grafting methods, along with their respective grafting times and materials used. |
| 5. | Explain and apply the production stages of ornamental plants using specialized subterranean organs, division methods, and tissue culture techniques. |
