How to Propagate Corchorus?
The primary propagation methods for corchorus include seeding and cuttings. Successful propagation requires considerations of light, temperature, and soil type. For corchorus, well-drained, sandy loam soil, temperatures between 24-30°C, and partial to full sunlight are ideal. The process can be moderately challenging due to sensitivity to overwatering and disease. To propagate corchorus: 1) Select healthy seeds or stem cuttings; 2) For seeds, sow directly in the soil after the last frost; for cuttings, plant in a rooting medium; 3) Maintain consistent moisture; 4) For seeds, thin seedlings once they develop; for cuttings, transplant once rooted. Key is to avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot.
