How to Propagate Aleurites?
Propagation of aleurites can be achieved through seeds or stem cuttings. Key factors for success include warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and ample light. Seeds require scarification or soaking for better germination. The process can be challenging due to slow growth and sensitivity to overwatering. To propagate, follow these steps: (1) Scarify or soak seeds for 24 hours. (2) Sow seeds in a well-draining medium. (3) Keep the soil warm (about 24-28°C). (4) Ensure consistent but not excessive moisture. (5) For cuttings, choose a healthy stem, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in similar conditions. The cuttings root in several weeks.
