How to Propagate Wild elder?
Primary propagation of wild elder can be done through semi-hardwood cuttings or seeds. Key factors for successful propagation include well-draining soil, consistent moisture, and a warm environment with indirect light. Cuttings may root more effectively with rooting hormone and a humidity dome. This species can be moderately difficult to propagate due to its sensitivity to root disturbance and environmental conditions. Steps for cuttings include taking a 4-6 inch cutting, removing the lower leaves, dipping into hormone powder, planting into the soil, and maintaining humidity. For seeds, sow in spring, lightly covering with soil, and keep moist until germination.
