How to Propagate Locusts?
Propagation of locusts can be achieved through seed sowing, softwood cuttings, or root cuttings. Important factors include ensuring proper light conditions, appropriate temperatures, and well-drained soil. Scarification or stratification of seeds might be necessary due to their hard coats. The plant is relatively hardy, but propagation can be challenging due to its ability to develop root suckers leading to invasiveness. To propagate, collect seeds in the fall, treat them as needed to break dormancy, and sow in spring. Alternatively, take cuttings in early summer, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in moist soil. Overall, the process is moderately difficult.
