How to Propagate Synsepalum?
Primary propagation methods for synsepalum include seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors for success are bright, indirect light, warmth, and well-draining soil with high organic content. Special techniques like scarification or stratification may be required for seeds due to their hard coating. Propagation is moderately difficult owing to slow germination and root development. For seeds: 1) Scarify to enhance water absorption, 2) Sow in a seed starting mix, 3) Maintain constant moisture and warmth, 4) Transplant when seedlings are sturdy. For cuttings: 1) Take semi-hardwood cuttings, 2) Dip in rooting hormone, 3) Plant in a propagating medium, 4) Keep under high humidity and indirect light until rooted.
