How to Propagate Paspalum?
Primary propagation methods for paspalum include seeding and division. Seed propagation should occur in a well-draining soil mix, with temperatures around 70°F and adequate moisture. Division involves separating clumps during the plant's active growth season, ensuring each section has roots and shoots. Special considerations include maintaining high humidity for seeds and careful handling of roots during division. Propagation difficulty is moderate due to concerns with maintaining proper environmental conditions. Steps for seed propagation: (1) collect or purchase viable seeds; (2) scatter seeds lightly on moist, well-draining soil; (3) lightly cover with soil, ensuring some light can penetrate; (4) keep consistently moist at proper temperature; (5) once seedlings develop, transplant to larger pots or desired locations. For division: (1) water plant well prior to division; (2) carefully dig up and separate into sections; (3) replant each section at similar soil depth as the original and water thoroughly.
