How to Propagate Flat pea?
Primary propagation methods for flat pea include seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors for success involve providing dappled light, maintaining moderate temperatures, and using well-draining soil. Special considerations include treating seeds to break dormancy and taking semi-hardwood cuttings for cloning. Propagation can be moderately challenging due to specific dormancy-breaking requirements and sensitivity during the cutting rooting phase. Steps for seed propagation: 1) Scarify seeds mechanically or with hot water to break dormancy. 2) Sow seeds in a seed-raising mix and lightly cover. 3) Water gently and maintain a warm, moist environment. 4) Transplant seedlings once established. For cuttings: 1) Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late summer. 2) Dip in rooting hormone and plant in a propagation mix. 3) Keep moist until roots develop, then pot on. The process requires attention to detail and consistent monitoring.
