How to Propagate Ficaria?
Ficaria is propagated mainly through division or seed sowing. Division is preferred due to the ease and higher success rate. Key factors for successful propagation include moist, well-draining soil, partial shade to full sun, and temperate conditions. Special considerations involve avoiding excessive moisture that can lead to rot. Propagation is generally easy, but care must be taken to prevent invasive spreading. To propagate by division: 1) Dig up a clump of ficaria in early spring or fall, 2) Gently separate the tubers, ensuring each has roots attached, 3) Plant the divisions immediately at the same soil depth they were previously growing, 4) Water thoroughly. For seed sowing: 1) Collect seeds when pods mature, 2) Sow outdoors in fall or in containers in spring, 3) Keep soil moist until germination.
