How to Propagate Monkey-flowers?
Monkey-flowers are mainly propagated through seed sowing, stem cuttings, and division. Successful propagation is influenced by factors such as consistent moisture, well-draining soil, and bright, indirect light. Seeds need a cold stratification period to improve germination. Difficulty is generally moderate, with challenges including maintaining the right moisture balance and avoiding fungal diseases. To propagate, (1) sow seeds after cold stratification, lightly covering with soil; (2) for cuttings, snip a healthy stem and plant in moist soil after applying rooting hormone; (3) for division, separate the roots during the dormant season and replant immediately. Consistent care and monitoring for diseases are essential.
