How to Propagate Purslanes?
Primary propagation methods for purslanes include seed sowing, stem cuttings, and division. Key factors for success are bright light, well-draining soil, and warm temperatures. Special considerations involve ensuring stem cuttings are taken from healthy, non-flowering shoots and allowing the cut end to callous before planting. Propagation is generally easy, with cuttings and division being most reliable. However, seed germination can be inconsistent. A step-by-step approach is: 1. Choose a stem section with a few leaves, 2. Cut just below a leaf node, 3. Allow the cutting to dry and callous, 4. Plant in well-draining soil, 5. Water sparingly and place in bright, indirect light.
