How to Propagate Ornithoglossum?
Primary propagation for ornithoglossum is often done via seed sowing or bulb division. Successful germination requires well-draining soil, consistent moisture, and warm temperature. Light exposure should be bright but indirect. No special treatment, like stratification or scarification, is typically necessary for ornithoglossum, but freshness of seeds is critical for improved germination rates. The process is moderately difficult due to the need for precise conditions and patient nurturing. To propagate, (1) sow seeds in a seed tray with well-draining soil mix, (2) maintain at 68-75°F, (3) keep soil moist but not waterlogged, (4) wait for seedlings to develop, then transplant. For division, (1) gently separate the bulbs after the foliage has died back, (2) replant immediately at the same depth, and (3) water thoroughly.
