How to Propagate Spring starflowers?
The primary method for propagating spring starflowers is through division, although they can also be grown from seed. For successful propagation, the right soil type, typically well-draining with moderate fertility, ample light exposure, and temperature control are crucial factors. Special considerations for spring starflowers include avoiding overly wet soils, which may cause bulbs to rot. Propagation is generally straightforward, but division should be done carefully to avoid damage to the bulbs. To propagate spring starflowers, follow these steps: 1) After the flowering season, gently lift bulbs from the soil; 2) Separate offsets from the parent bulb; 3) Plant bulbs immediately at the same depth they were growing before; 4) Water sparingly until new growth appears. Propagation by seed involves sowing seeds in a well-draining medium in fall, with germination occurring in spring.
