How to Propagate Crucifixion Thorn?
The primary propagation method for crucifixion Thorn is via seeds, as vegetative methods like cuttings and division are less successful due to the plant's specific adaptations. Key factors for successful seed propagation include full sunlight exposure, well-draining soil, and temperatures mirroring its native desert environment. Pre-sowing seed treatment, such as scarification or stratification, may be necessary. Propagation difficulty is generally high, with low germination rates and slow growth being common challenges. Suggested steps: 1) Treat seeds if required, 2) Sow seeds in a sandy, well-draining mix, 3) Provide ample sunlight, 4) Keep soil moist but not waterlogged, 5) Transplant seedlings with care after significant growth.
