* Bulb [[Offset (botany)|offsets]]: Daughter bulbs that form on the mother bulb and can be detached.
* [[Micropropagation]] techniques including [[Plant tissue culture|tissue culture]].<ref name=Nhut/><ref name=Nishiuchi/>
* [[Bulbil]]s, which are [[adventitious]] bulbs formed on the parent plant's stem.
* Scaling and [[twin-scaling]], used to increase production in slower-growing varieties, in which multiple whole scales are detached from a single bulb.

Bulb [[Offset (botany)|offsets]] and [[tissue culture]] produce [[gene]]tic [[cloning|clones]] of the parent plant and thus maintaining genetic integrity of the [[cultivars]]. Bulb offsets usually require at least a year before flowering. Commercially, plants may be propagated [[in vitro]] and then planted out to grow into plants large enough to sell.<ref name=Lanzhou/><ref name=Heuser/>
