How to Propagate Melanolepis?
Primary propagation of melanolepis includes seeds and cuttings. Key factors involve consistent moisture, well-draining soil, warm temperatures, and indirect light. Special considerations include scarification of seeds and use of rooting hormone for cuttings. Propagation might pose a challenge due to seed dormancy and the delicate nature of stem cuttings, marking a moderate difficulty level. Steps: 1) Scarify seeds, soak overnight; 2) Sow in starting mix, cover lightly; 3) Cut a healthy stem, apply hormone, plant in moist soil; 4) Provide warmth, indirect light, and moisture until established.
