How to Propagate Water buttons?
Propagation of water buttons is generally simple, making it accessible for amateur gardeners. The primary methods are through seed sowing and division. Successful propagation requires attention to factors such as light, which should be abundant, moderate watering without waterlogging, and well-draining soil. This plant can be sensitive to frost, so in cooler climates, it may be necessary to propagate indoors before transplanting outside. The ease of growth from seeds, along with the straight-forward division of established plants, makes water buttons a low-difficulty plant to propagate. To propagate water buttons: 1) Collect seeds post-flowering or divide a mature plant in the spring. 2) Sow seeds superficially on moist, well-draining soil or separate clumps at the root for division. 3) Provide bright, indirect light and keep the soil moist until germination or new growth appears. 4) After seedlings establish, transplant them to their final location, ensuring partial to full sun exposure. For divisions, replant immediately and water thoroughly.
