How to Propagate Milkweeds?
The primary propagation methods for milkweeds include seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors for propagation success are full sun exposure, well-draining soil, and warm temperatures. Special considerations involve handling the plant carefully due to its toxic sap and wearing gloves. The general difficulty level for propagating milkweeds is moderate, with challenges related to seed dormancy and proper care for cuttings. Propagation steps: 1) For seeds, soak overnight, sow in potting mix, and keep moist until germination. 2) For cuttings, take 4-6 inch stem sections, let the sap dry, plant in sandy soil, and maintain high humidity.
