How to Propagate Alligator-flag?
Primary propagation methods for alligator-flag include division and seed sowing. Key factors for success are warm temperatures, consistent moisture, and full to partial light exposure, with a preference for rich, loamy soils. Special considerations involve ensuring adequate space for growth and managing water levels, as alligator-flag is often found in wetland areas. Propagation can be moderately difficult due to the plant's specific habitat needs. To propagate by division: 1) In the spring, gently lift mature plants; 2) Separate the rhizomes, ensuring each section has roots attached; 3) Replant the divisions promptly in a suitable location, maintaining high soil moisture; 4) Water regularly until established. For seed propagation, sow fresh seeds in wet soil after the last frost and maintain consistent moisture levels.
