How to Propagate Mask flower?
Propagation of mask flower is commonly done via seed sowing and cuttings. The key factors influencing propagation success include bright light, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil with high fertility. Mask flower can be particular about moisture, requiring evenly moist soil but not wet conditions. It is imperative to avoid overwatering. Generally, propagation of mask flower is of moderate difficulty, with common challenges in maintaining the right moisture balance and ensuring sufficient light without causing leaf burn during the rooting phase. To propagate through cuttings: 1) Take a 4-inch softwood cutting in early summer. 2) Strip the lower leaves, leaving the top intact. 3) Dip the cut end in rooting hormone. 4) Place the cutting in a pot with moist, well-draining soil. 5) Cover with a plastic bag to retain humidity. 6) Place in bright, indirect light. 7) Keep the soil consistently moist. 8) After a few weeks, when roots establish, gently transplant.
