Most people are opting for growing new plants from cuttings, which increases stock in a shorter time. Due to the fact that cuttings are sturdier than seeds then tend to mature faster and bearing flower and fruit much sooner than seedlings would.
Propagating could also turn out to be much more cost effective than planting seeds because a single plant can give you a lot of cuttings without compromising the plants health. Which means you can get more out of one plant that seeds would. Another benefit of the plants grown from cuttings is that the plant that grows from cutting will be a clone of its parental plant. You will therefore always know what you are growing and this is generally why gardeners opt to use cuttings for their new plants.
