How to Propagate Beebrushes?
Propagation of beebrushes typically involves softwood cuttings or seeds. For cuttings, key factors include high humidity, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Use rooting hormone to enhance success. Seeds require light for germination, so surface-sow and maintain a temperature of 20-25°C. Special considerations involve ensuring cuttings or seeds are from healthy parent plants and providing adequate light without direct sunlight. Propagation difficulty is moderate. Steps for cuttings: 1) Cut a 4-6 inch piece from a healthy beebrushes plant. 2) Remove lower leaves, dip the base in rooting hormone. 3) Plant in well-draining soil. 4) Cover with a plastic bag to retain humidity. 5) Place in indirect light, keep soil moist. For seeds: 1) Surface-sow in a tray with seed starting mix. 2) Keep moist, warm, and in bright, indirect light. 3) Transplant seedlings once they're sturdy.
