How to Propagate Sweetbushes?
Propagation of sweetbushes typically involves seeds or semi-hardwood cuttings. Key factors include ensuring well-draining soil, maintaining moderate temperatures, and providing partial sunlight. Special care should be taken during watering to prevent root rot. The difficulty level is moderate, with the main challenge being the slow germination rate of seeds. For cuttings, selecting a healthy stem, using rooting hormone, and providing a humid environment are critical. Steps for seed propagation: 1) Collect seeds from mature sweetbushes plants, 2) Sow seeds in well-draining soil in the spring, 3) Keep soil consistently moist, 4) Place in partial sunlight, and 5) Wait for germination, which may take several weeks.
