How to Propagate Calligonum?
Primary propagation for calligonum is through seeds and cuttings. Key factors for success include full sun exposure, well-draining soil, and temperatures conducive to growth. Seeds require scarification and stratification due to their hard coat. Cuttings need a rooting hormone for improved success rates. Generally, propagation is moderately difficult due to these specific requirements. Steps for seed propagation: 1) Scarify seeds to enhance germination, 2) Stratify if necessary, 3) Sow in well-draining soil, 4) Water lightly, ensuring soil remains moist. For cuttings: 1) Take semi-hardwood cuttings, 2) Apply rooting hormone, 3) Plant in a suitable medium, 4) Maintain humidity and monitor for root development.
