How to Propagate Sandworts?
Propagation of sandworts is primarily via seed sowing, division, or cuttings. Key factors for success include ample light exposure, well-draining soil, and a temperature range favorable for germination or root development. Specific to sandworts, ensure soil is not too rich as it prefers leaner conditions. Generally, propagation is of moderate difficulty; seeds may have erratic germination rates, and cuttings need careful handling to prevent rot. Begin by selecting healthy parent plants, then follow these steps: 1) For seeds, sow in fall or spring on the soil surface with light cover; 2) For division, gently separate clumps in early spring or after flowering; 3) For cuttings, take non-flowering shoots in late spring and root in a sand-peat mix under indirect light. Regular misting helps maintain humidity. Monitor for root establishment and transplant once robust growth is observed.
