How to Propagate tender alpine?
Primary propagation methods for tender alpine include leaf cuttings, division, or seed sowing. Key factors for success are bright, indirect light and well-draining soil with temperatures around 65-75°F. Special considerations involve using a rooting hormone and providing high humidity for cuttings. This species can be challenging due to its sensitivity to overwatering and fungal infections. To propagate by leaf cuttings: (1) Cut a healthy leaf, (2) Dip the cut end in rooting hormone, (3) Plant in moist, soilless mix, (4) Cover with a plastic bag for humidity, and (5) Place in bright, indirect light until roots develop.
