How to Propagate Bessera?
The primary propagation method for bessera is through seed sowing. Key factors for successful propagation include ensuring proper light exposure, maintaining warm temperatures, and using well-draining soil. Special considerations involve stratification or soaking seeds to enhance germination rates, as this species may have a hard seed coat. Typically, propagating bessera is of moderate difficulty due to potential issues with germination and seedling establishment. To propagate, follow these steps: 1) Collect or purchase seeds; 2) Soak seeds for 24 hours to soften the seed coat; 3) Sow seeds in a well-draining, sandy soil mix; 4) Place in a warm, bright area; 5) Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged; 6) Wait for germination, which may take several weeks; 7) Once seedlings develop, transplant them to individual containers.
