How to Propagate Snapdragons?
Propagating snapdragons mainly involves seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors for success include consistent moisture, well-draining soil, and ample sunlight. Temperature ranges suitable for germination or root initiation are crucial. Special considerations involve deadheading to encourage more blooms and prevent self-sowing. For most gardeners, propagation poses a moderate challenge, with the proper timing and care being essential. To propagate from cuttings: 1) Cut a 3-4 inch stem segment below a node, 2) Remove lower leaves, 3) Dip the cut end in rooting hormone, 4) Plant in a mix of peat and perlite, 5) Maintain high humidity and 6) Transplant once rooted. Seeds can be directly sown outdoors after frost danger or started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
