You can produce many of them in a small space for little or no cost.
You will get exactly the same type of plant as the parent.
You won't wast time and money waiting for seeds to germinate.
The plants are mature and not seedlings. So they will flower right away.

1. You will know exactly what the outcome will be because the new plants will be genetically identical to the original.
2. You can have new plants quickly because you are not limited to the right season for flowering, waiting for seeds to mature, growing plants from a seed, ...
3. You don't have to buy anything. When you like a particular plant, you can have more of them for free. And you could make more of your favorites to trade with your friends.
