How to Propagate Cleidion?
Cleidion can be propagated through seed sowing, stem cuttings, or layering. Successful propagation requires considering factors such as adequate light, moisture, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Scarification and stratification might be needed to improve seed germination. Semi-hardwood cuttings may root better with the use of a rooting hormone and controlled humidity. Layering can be encouraged with the help of soil mounding. The difficulty generally ranges from moderate to challenging due to the specific requirements for seed treatment and environmental conditions necessary for rooting. To propagate cleidion via cuttings: 1) Take semi-hardwood cuttings in the growing season, 2) Apply rooting hormone to the cut end, 3) Plant in well-draining soil, 4) Maintain high humidity and indirect light, 5) Wait for roots to establish before transplanting.
