How to Propagate Rhodomyrtus?
Rhodomyrtus can be propagated by seeds, stem cuttings, layering, or sometimes by division. Optimal propagation requires full sun to partial shade, well-draining soil, and temperatures between 20-25°C (68-77°F). Special considerations include the treatment of seeds to break dormancy and rooting hormone for cuttings. Propagation generally poses a moderate difficulty level due to the need for specific conditions for germination and root development. The recommended steps for propagation by cuttings are: 1) Cut a healthy stem 10-15 cm long with several leaves, 2) Dip the base in rooting hormone, 3) Plant in a mix of peat and perlite, 4) Keep moist but not waterlogged, and 5) Place under light shade until roots develop.
