How to Propagate Telegraph Weed?
The primary methods of propagating telegraph Weed include seed sowing and vegetative cuttings. Successful seed propagation requires a well-draining soil mix, with exposure to light essential for germination, while maintaining moderate temperatures around 70°F. Cuttings should be taken in the cooler parts of the year. Special considerations for telegraph Weed involve ensuring cuttings have ample humidity to root effectively, and with seeds, surface sowing is preferred as they need light to germinate. Propagation is moderately easy but may be hampered by rot or poor germination rates if conditions aren't ideal. For propagation via cuttings: 1) Select healthy, non-flowering shoots. 2) Cut a 4-6 inch section, stripping the lower leaves. 3) Dip the cut end in rooting hormone. 4) Plant in a mix of perlite and peat, ensuring high humidity. 5) Keep at 65-75°F until roots establish. For seeds: 1) Scatter seeds on the soil surface. 2) Press lightly into the mix, do not cover. 3) Keep evenly moist and well-lit until germination.
