How to Propagate Meadow beauty?
To propagate meadow beauty, the primary methods include seed sowing, division, and cuttings. Key factors for propagation success are well-drained acidic soil, consistent moisture without waterlogging, and bright but indirect light. Meadow beauty prefers warm temperatures; hence, cool climates might demand greenhouse cultivation. Germination can be slow, and the plant may require stratification, a consideration for those in colder regions. The overall difficulty is moderate due to germination challenges. To propagate by seeds: 1) Collect seeds after flowering. 2) Stratify if necessary by chilling for 60 days. 3) Sow seeds in a tray with starter mix, barely covering them. 4) Maintain consistent moisture and warmth. 5) Transplant seedlings when they are robust enough to handle. For division or cuttings, perform during mild weather, ensuring divisions have roots attached and cuttings are from healthy growth.
