How to Propagate Stoppers?
Primary propagation of stoppers can be done through seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors include maintaining warm temperatures, providing bright but indirect light, and using a well-draining soil mix. Special consideration should be given to the time of year; propagation is best done in spring or early summer. Stoppers is moderately difficult to propagate since seeds may have low germination rates, and cuttings require careful moisture management to prevent rot. To propagate, perform the following steps: 1) Gather seeds or cuttings from a healthy stoppers plant, 2) If using seeds, sow in a well-draining soil mix and lightly cover, 3) If using cuttings, dip in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, soilless mix, 4) Place in a location with bright, indirect light, 5) Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, 6) Transplant when seedlings have several sets of true leaves or when cuttings have established roots.
