How to Propagate Mountain tobaccos?
Propagating mountain tobaccos typically involves seed sowing, cuttings, or division. Success hinges on the right mix of light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Cold stratification enhances germination; root cuttings should be taken in late fall or early winter. Propagation can be challenging due to seed dormancy and sensitivity during root division. For better odds, follow a step-by-step method: 1) Stratify seeds before planting; 2) Sow in moist, well-draining soil; 3) Provide indirect sunlight and maintain temperatures around 70°F; 4) For division, separate carefully in spring or fall; 5) Root cuttings in a sandy mix until established, then transplant.
