How to Propagate Broussonetia?
To propagate broussonetia, both sexual (seed sowing) and asexual (stem cuttings, layering, and root suckers) methods are viable. Essential factors for successful propagation include adequate light exposure, well-draining soil, and moderate temperatures. Seeds require pretreatment like stratification to enhance germination. Cuttings benefit from bottom heating and rooting hormone applications. Generally, the task is of moderate difficulty due to the possible need for pretreatment and specific environmental conditions. Here's a step-by-step for stem cuttings: 1) Select healthy, semi-woody stems; 2) Cut 6-8 inch sections below a node; 3) Dip the base in rooting hormone; 4) Plant in well-draining medium; 5) Maintain high humidity and moderate temperature; 6) Transplant once rooted.
