How to Propagate Cochliostema?
Primary propagation for cochliostema is typically from cuttings or seed sowing. Key factors for successful propagation include high humidity, warm temperatures, and well-draining, fertile soil with good organic matter. This species may require higher humidity than other houseplants, which can be achieved with misting or a humidifier. It is considered moderately difficult to propagate cochliostema due to its specific humidity requirements. Start with semi-ripe stem cuttings, dip in rooting hormone, plant in a pot with appropriate soil mix, cover with a plastic bag to retain moisture, place in indirect light, and maintain soil dampness without waterlogging.
