How to Propagate Merrilliopanax?
Propagation of merrilliopanax can be achieved through seeds, cuttings, division, or tissue culture. Key factors for success include appropriate light conditions, a stable temperature range, and well-draining soil. Merrilliopanax may present specific challenges like seed dormancy or rooting hormone requirements for cuttings. The difficulty level is moderate, with attention needed for environmental requirements. To propagate by cuttings: 1) Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late summer; 2) Dip the cut end into rooting hormone; 3) Plant in a mixture of peat and perlite; 4) Maintain high humidity and indirect light; 5) Transplant once rooted.
