How to Propagate Platostoma?
Primary propagation methods for platostoma include cuttings and seed sowing. Key factors for success are warm temperatures, bright indirect light, and well-draining soil. Special care should be taken not to overwater. Propagating platostoma is moderately easy but may be challenging due to humidity requirements. Start by taking stem cuttings in spring or summer, ensuring they have several leaves. Dip cut ends in rooting hormone, plant in a moist soil mix, and cover with plastic to retain humidity. Alternatively, sow seeds in a well-aerated soil mix, lightly covering with soil, and keep at a consistent temperature of 20-25°C. Regular misting supports germination and cutting establishment.
