How to Propagate Allamanda?
The primary propagation methods for allamanda are cuttings and seeds. Key factors for propagation success include high light exposure, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Softwood cuttings are recommended during the warmer months, and seeds can be sown in spring. The process can be moderately difficult due to the need for consistent warmth and humidity. Special considerations involve using a rooting hormone for cuttings and providing a glass or plastic covering to maintain humidity. Steps: 1) Take a 4-6 inch softwood cutting, 2) Dip the cut end in rooting hormone, 3) Plant in a mix of peat and perlite, 4) Cover with glass/plastic, 5) Place in indirect light and keep consistently moist, 6) After rooting, transplant into a suitable outdoor location or container.
