How to Propagate Rushfoils?
The primary propagation methods for rushfoils encompass seed sowing, stem cuttings, air layering, and division. Success hinges on optimal light, warmth, and a well-draining soil mix. Rushfoils benefits from high humidity, particularly when starting cuttings. Some variants feature toxic sap, necessitating protective gloves. Moderately challenging due to its sensitivity to root disturbance and particular environmental needs. To propagate via cuttings: 1) Choose a healthy, non-woody stem. 2) Cut a 4-6 inch piece just below a leaf node. 3) Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. 4) Plant into a mix of peat and perlite. 5) Water gently and enclose in a plastic bag for humidity. 6) Place in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sun. Roots should establish in a few weeks, after which the rushfoils can be transplanted.
