How to Propagate Thevetia?
Thevetia is primarily propagated through seeds, but stem cuttings are also viable. Success depends on a warm climate, brightness without direct sunlight, and well-draining soil. A special consideration for this toxic plant is to handle seeds with care and wear gloves. Propagation can be challenging due to slow germination and root development. To propagate, follow these steps: (1) Collect seeds after fruit ripening, (2) Clean and treat seeds (if necessary) to enhance germination, (3) Sow seeds in a seed-starting mix and maintain moisture, (4) Place in a warm, shaded area, (5) Transplant seedlings when sturdy enough to handle. For cuttings, (1) Select a healthy, non-flowering stem, (2) Cut into sections with at least two nodes, (3) Apply rooting hormone to the cut end, (4) Plant in a moist medium, and (5) Wait for roots before transplanting.
