which kind of reproduction is best in this situation? and Ginger inflorescence

which kind of reproduction is best in this situation?



their is little space for a new plant grow around the other existing plants.
Which reproduction would be best: Sexual or Asexual and Why?


inflorescence best answer:

Answer by gardengallivant
Sexual reproduction is better. It is a seasonally timed seed set adapted for seed dispersal to distant locations with potential for a seed landing in a less crowded location at the best time for germination.

Asexual clones fill in around the small parent plant when space is available. Asexual reproduction is best for small plants as a way to increase their floral display in one location to attract pollinators with many inflorescences. When crowded the small plant still has its seasonally timed sexual reproduction.

Large plants spread a large canopy for sexual inflorescence display so asexual reproduction would just cause even more crowding. Trees use asexual reproduction to regrow after damage. They can sprout anew from adventitious buds after a fire or storm.
