Primary propagation methods for sotols include seed sowing and division. Successful propagation requires consideration of light exposure, which should be full sun, moderate to high temperatures, and well-draining soil. Seed germination can be erratic, and patience is needed as seeds may take several months to germinate. Division should be done carefully to prevent damage to the parent plant. The general difficulty level of propagating sotols is moderate, with challenges including slow growth and sensitivity to overwatering. For propagation via seed sowing: 1) Obtain fresh seeds for better germination rates; 2) Sow in a well-draining cactus mix; 3) Place in a warm, sunny location; 4) Keep the soil slightly moist until germination. For division: 1) Carefully excavate around the plant; 2) Sever offsets from the main plant with a clean, sharp tool; 3) Allow the cut to callous over for a few days; 4) Plant the offset in similar soil conditions and water sparingly.
