How to Propagate Mugworts?
Propagating mugworts can be achieved mainly through seeds, cuttings, or division. Successful growth hinges on factors like adequate light, specific temperature ranges, and well-draining soil. Special considerations for mugworts include ensuring cuttings are from healthy, disease-free plants and protecting newly propagated plants from the cold. The difficulty level is generally low to moderate, though care must be taken with rooting cuttings and seedlings' needs.
To propagate mugworts efficiently, follow these steps:
-
For seeds, sow in late winter to early spring. Use a light substrate and keep moist.
-
Cuttings should be made from new growth; strip lower leaves and dip in rooting hormone before placing in soil.
-
Division is best done in the fall or early spring; carefully separate roots and replant immediately. Patience and attentiveness to moisture levels are key throughout the propagation process.
