How to Propagate Basella?
Basella is commonly propagated through seeds and stem cuttings. The key factors for successful propagation include warm temperatures, high humidity, and fertile, well-draining soil. The plant prefers partial to full sunlight, but can tolerate some shade. Special considerations include ensuring cuttings are not taken from wilted or diseased plants. Propagation is generally easy, but may require patience for seeds to germinate. Begin by collecting seeds or making cuttings, place them in the appropriate growing medium, and maintain consistent moisture and warmth until establishment. Basella can also be propagated by pinching off the tip of mature plants to promote bushier growth.
