How to Propagate Eremogone?
Primary propagation methods for eremogone include seed sowing and division. Key factors for success are well-drained sandy soil, adequate sunlight, and cool temperatures consistent with its alpine or arid native habitats. Special considerations involve stratifying seeds to overcome dormancy for improved germination. Propagation difficulty is moderate due to the need for stratification and managing specific soil and light conditions. Suggested steps include: 1) Stratify seeds at 4°C for 3-6 weeks, 2) Sow seeds in a well-draining sandy substrate, 3) Maintain moisture without waterlogging, 4) Provide full light with cool temperatures, 5) Transplant seedlings or divide in spring or fall, ensuring adequate root sections. Careful handling of the root systems is crucial during division.
