How to Propagate Heliotropes?
Primary propagation methods for heliotropes include seeds and cuttings. Successful propagation depends on factors like ample light, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. For seeds, sow in spring, lightly covered. Cuttings work best in summer using semi-ripe stems. Difficulty is moderate due to their need for consistent warmth. A step-by-step approach involves: 1. Choose healthy plant material. 2. For seeds, plant shallowly in starter mix; for cuttings, use moistened, soilless mix and ensure high humidity. 3. Provide indirect sunlight and maintain soil moisture without waterlogging. 4. Wait for germination or rooting before transplanting carefully.
