How to Propagate Eriostemon?
Primary propagation for eriostemon includes seed sowing and semi-hardwood cuttings, with cuttings being the more reliable method. Successful propagation requires well-drained soil, consistent moisture, and bright, indirect light. Temperature should be moderate, avoiding frost. Rooting hormone can enhance cutting success. The process is moderately difficult due to slow rooting and sensitivity to conditions. For cuttings, select healthy semi-hardwood stems, apply rooting hormone, plant in sandy soil, maintain humidity, and wait a few weeks for root development. Regular monitoring for rot or pests is crucial.
