How to Propagate Andean firebushes?
Primary propagation of andean firebushes is achieved through seed sowing and semi-hardwood cuttings. Key factors for success include bright light, consistent moisture, and well-draining soil with high organic content. Special considerations involve stratification of seeds for better germination and rooting hormone application for cuttings. Propagation is moderately difficult due to slow germination and the need for precise conditions. To propagate, collect seeds after flowering, stratify if needed, then sow in a seed-starting mix. For cuttings, take 4-6 inch semi-hardwood segments, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in a mixture of peat and perlite. Maintain consistent humidity and warmth until established.
