How to Propagate Briggsia?
Propagation of briggsia can be achieved through stem cuttings or seed sowing. Stem cuttings are the most reliable and straightforward method. Success hinges on factors like humidity, soil drainage, and warmth. Use a rooting hormone for cuttings and plant in a well-draining, fertile substrate. Keep cuttings under indirect light and maintain a consistent temperature of 20-25°C. Sow seeds in the same soil conditions but allow for adequate light. Difficulty ranges from moderate to challenging due to sensitivity to overwatering and the need for high humidity. To propagate by cuttings: 1. Select a healthy, non-flowering stem. 2. Cut a 10-15 cm segment just below a leaf node. 3. Remove lower leaves, dip cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in potting mix. 4. Place the pot in a warm, bright area without direct sunlight. 5. Keep the soil evenly moist until roots establish, then gradually harden off the plant.
