How to Propagate Felworts?
The primary propagation methods for felworts include seed sowing and division. Key factors for successful propagation are adequate light, specific temperature ranges, and well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Seed germination may require stratification or scarification, while division should be done in the appropriate season to ensure recovery and growth. The general difficulty of propagation is moderate, with challenges such as seed dormancy and sensitivity to environmental conditions impacting success rates. To propagate felworts by seed, follow these steps: 1) Stratify seeds if required by chilling them for a specified period. 2) Sow seeds in a well-draining medium, lightly covering them with soil. 3) Maintain consistent moisture and a temperature of about 20°C (68°F). 4) Provide bright, indirect light until germination occurs. For division, 1) Carefully lift the plant in the dormant season. 2) Divide the rootball into sections, ensuring each has roots and shoots. 3) Replant at the same depth in suitable soil and water thoroughly.
