How to Propagate Odontostemma?
The primary methods for propagating odontostemma include seed sowing, stem cuttings, and division. Key factors for success are moderate light exposure, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Special considerations for odontostemma involve maintaining high humidity and using rooting hormones for cuttings. Propagation is of moderate difficulty, often hindered by poor seed germination or root rot if overwatered. To propagate by cuttings: (1) Take 4-6 inch cuttings from a healthy odontostemma in spring; (2) Dip cut ends in rooting hormone; (3) Plant in a mix of peat and perlite; (4) Water lightly, and keep in indirect light; (5) Transplant once roots establish.
