How to Propagate Raspwort?
Propagation of raspwort is typically done through seed sowing or cuttings. Success largely depends on factors such as adequate light exposure, consistent temperature, and moist, well-draining soil. Raspwort requires freshly harvested seeds, which will germinate more effectively, so utilizing current season seeds is imperative. Cuttings should be taken during the plant's active growth phase. Difficulty can be medium due to seed dormancy issues and the delicate nature of handling cuttings. To propagate via cuttings, follow these steps: 1) Select healthy, non-flowering shoots. 2) Cut a 4-6 inch length, removing lower leaves. 3) Dip the cut end into rooting hormone. 4) Plant in a mix of peat and perlite. 5) Maintain high humidity and temperature around 70°F. 6) Transplant when roots are established.
