How to Propagate Tithonia?
Primary propagation of tithonia is through seeds, which is relatively straightforward for gardeners. Prepare a well-draining soil mix and sow seeds after the last frost for temperate regions, ensuring a warm temperature is maintained. Place in a location with bright, indirect light. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Propagation via cuttings is also possible, though a rooting hormone may enhance success. Generally, tithonia does not pose significant difficulty in propagation, but poor light or overwatering can hinder growth. To propagate, (1) Choose healthy seeds or stem cuttings. (2) Sow seeds in soil or dip cuttings in rooting hormone. (3) Plant seeds/cuttings in potting mix. (4) Maintain warm temperatures and indirect light. (5) Water to keep the soil consistently moist. (6) Transplant seedlings or rooted cuttings once established.
