How to Propagate Hesperocnide?
The primary propagation methods for hesperocnide include seed sowing and stem cuttings. Key factors for success are proper light exposure, stable warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Special considerations involve managing the plant's irritant hairs during handling. Propagation can be moderately challenging due to these irritating hairs and potential for low germination rates. Steps for propagation: (1) Wear gloves to handle plant material; (2) For seeds, surface-sow on well-draining soil and keep moist; (3) For cuttings, take healthy, non-flowering stems, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in potting mix; (4) Provide bright, indirect light and maintain consistent moisture; (5) Transplant once established.
