How to Propagate Barbara's buttons?
Barbara's buttons can be propagated through seed sowing, cuttings, division, or tissue culture, with seeds and division being most common. Success depends on light, temperature, and well-draining soil. For seeds, stratification might be needed to break dormancy. Division is simpler but requires careful handling of the root system. Propagation is moderately difficult due to sensitivity to overwatering and potential pest issues. Start by collecting seeds or dividing the root clump in spring. Sow seeds in a tray with starter mix and lightly cover; keep moist and provide bright, indirect light. For division, separate clumps gently and replant immediately. Consistent moisture and good air circulation are vital for both methods.
