How to Propagate Waxflower?
Waxflower is commonly propagated by cuttings, which is the preferred method over seeds due to greater success rates. Semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or fall yield the best results. Essential factors for propagation are well-draining soil, consistent moisture, light exposure, and mild temperatures. Special consideration must be given to avoid over-watering and fungal diseases. The overall difficulty is moderate, with challenges including root rot and maintaining the appropriate environment. Steps for propagation: 1. Select healthy, non-flowering stems. 2. Cut 4-6 inch segments, remove lower leaves. 3. Dip cut end in rooting hormone. 4. Plant in a mixture of perlite and peat moss. 5. Ensure high humidity and indirect light. 6. Water sparingly. 7. Wait for root development before transplanting.
