How to Propagate Cayratia?
Cayratia can be propagated by seed sowing, stem cuttings, or layering. For seeds, stratification may improve germination rates. Semi-hardwood cuttings are more successful in cooler, humid climates. Soil should be well-draining and fertile. Temperature around 20-25°C is ideal. Difficulty level is moderate, with challenges including seed dormancy and rooting cuttings. Steps for cuttings: (1) Cut a healthy, non-flowering stem. (2) Dip in rooting hormone. (3) Plant in a pot with moist soil. (4) Cover with a plastic bag for humidity. (5) Place in indirect light, maintaining moisture until roots develop.
