How to Propagate Finger phloxes?
Primary propagation methods for finger phloxes involve seed sowing, cuttings, or division. Key factors for success include well-draining soil, consistent moisture, and bright, indirect light. Temperature should be moderate, avoiding extremes. Special techniques like stratification might be needed for seeds to improve germination rates. The difficulty level is generally moderate but can vary with the method chosen. For seed propagation: (1) Sow seeds in a well-draining mix; (2) Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C); (3) Provide indirect light; (4) Keep the soil consistently moist. For cuttings or division: (1) Choose healthy parent plants; (2) Cut or separate with a clean, sharp tool; (3) Plant in suitable medium; (4) Keep conditions stable for root development.
