How to Propagate Screwstem?
Propagation of screwstem typically involves seed sowing under specific conditions. Key factors for success include maintaining a moist, well-draining soil, ensuring adequate light exposure but with some shade, and providing a consistent temperature suitable for germination. Special considerations may include stratification to overcome seed dormancy or mimicking natural conditions. The difficulty level is generally moderate but can be challenging due to seed viability and germination requirements. To propagate screwstem by seed: 1) Collect seeds post-flowering; 2) Stratify seeds if necessary for several weeks in cold, moist conditions; 3) Sow seeds shallowly in a starter mix; 4) Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; 5) Provide indirect light and moderate temperatures; 6) Transplant seedlings once robust enough to handle.
