How to Propagate Orthosiphon?
Orthosiphon can be propagated through seed sowing, stem cuttings, or division. Key factors for success include warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Generally, stem cuttings or division are favored due to the quicker establishment and higher success rates compared to seeds. Special considerations for orthosiphon involve avoiding waterlogged conditions and providing partial sunlight. To propagate orthosiphon via stem cuttings: 1. Prepare a well-draining potting mix. 2. Take a 4-6 inch cutting from a healthy stem. 3. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. 4. Plant the cutting in the potting mix and maintain consistent moisture. 5. Keep in a warm, humid environment with indirect sunlight. 6. After a few weeks, check for root development and transplant once established.
