How to Propagate Romulea?
Romulea is typically propagated through seed sowing or by dividing corms. Successful propagation requires careful attention to light, ensuring partial shade, and maintaining moderate temperatures conducive to growth. The plant thrives in well-drained soil with some sand content for proper drainage. Special considerations include the timing of sowing seeds in the fall or dividing corms in the dormancy period. Propagation is of moderate difficulty, with challenges arising mainly from maintaining ideal moisture levels and preventing rot. For propagation via division, follow these steps: 1) In late summer, when the plant is dormant, gently dig up corms. 2) Separate the corms, ensuring each section has at least one growth point. 3) Replant corms immediately at the same depth they were growing before, spaced several inches apart. 4) Water sparingly, and wait for signs of growth in the next growing season.
