How to Propagate Melothria?
Primary propagation of melothria is typically achieved through seed sowing. Key factors for successful propagation include warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and adequate light exposure. Special considerations for melothria involve ensuring seeds are sown after the last frost to avoid cold damage. The process can be considered moderately difficult as it might face challenges with germination consistency. For propagation: 1) Collect ripe seeds from mature melothria plants, 2) Prepare a seed starting mix and fill pots or trays, 3) Sow seeds lightly covering with soil, 4) Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil moist, 5) Provide indirect light until seeds germinate, typically in 1-2 weeks, 6) Transplant seedlings to larger pots or outdoors once they've grown strong enough and the risk of frost has passed.
