How to Propagate Mexican buckeye?
The primary propagation method for mexican buckeye is via seed sowing after the stratification of seeds to break dormancy. Key factors for successful propagation include well-draining soil, consistent warmth, and full to partial sun exposure. Special stratification technique is needed by chilling seeds for a few months to simulate winter conditions. The difficulty level is moderate due to the requirement of stratification. To propagate mexican buckeye, first stratify seeds in a refrigerator for 1-3 months. Then, sow stratified seeds in well-draining soil, lightly cover with soil and keep moist. Place in a warm, sunny location until germination, which may take several weeks. Seedlings are then transplanted outdoors in spring.
