How to Propagate Elaeocarpus?
Primary propagation of elaeocarpus is through seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors for success include warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Special considerations involve seed treatment, such as soaking or stratification, for improved germination rates. The general difficulty level is moderate; seeds may exhibit dormancy, and cuttings require careful handling to root successfully. To propagate elaeocarpus, collect ripe seeds, soak overnight, and sow in moist soil. For cuttings, select a healthy stem, apply rooting hormone, and plant in a mixture of peat and perlite. Ensure consistent moisture and warmth until establishment.
