How to Propagate Bridelia?
Primary propagation for bridelia is by seed sowing and stem cuttings. Successful growth requires attention to light, moisture, and a well-draining substrate. Seed germination can be slow and may need pretreatment such as scarification for better results. Softwood cuttings are generally more successful, taken in spring or early summer. The difficulty can vary, with seeds presenting more challenges compared to cuttings. First, source healthy seeds or cuttings. If using seeds, scarify and sow in a seed-starting mix, maintain warmth, and keep moist until germination. For cuttings, select a softwood stem, cut at a 45-degree angle, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in a mix of peat and perlite. Keep the environment humid until roots develop.
