How to Propagate Irish bells?
The primary propagation method for irish bells is by seed sowing. Key factors for success include well-draining soil, moderate light exposure, and a temperature range of 18-24°C for optimal germination. It's crucial to stratify the seeds by chilling them before sowing to break dormancy. Generally, propagating irish bells is of moderate difficulty, with germination rates possibly affected by improper stratification. Here are the steps: 1) Stratify seeds by refrigerating for 2-4 weeks; 2) Sow stratified seeds on the surface of moist, well-draining soil; 3) Lightly cover with soil and place in a moderate light area; 4) Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; 5) Transplant seedlings after the last frost date.
