<P> The horticultural layering process typically involves wounding the target region to expose the inner stem and optionally applying rooting compounds . In ground layering or simple layering , the stem is bent down and the target region buried in the soil . This is done in plant nurseries in imitation of natural layering by many plants such as brambles which bow over and touch the tip on the ground , at which point it grows roots and , when separated , can continue as a separate plant . In either case , the rooting process may take from several weeks to a year . </P>
