How to Propagate Valeriana?
Primary propagation methods for valeriana include seed sowing, division, and stem cuttings. Key factors for successful propagation are well-draining soil, moderate lighting, and maintaining a temperature around 65-75°F. Specific to this plant, division of mature clumps should occur in spring or autumn. Propagation by seed tends to be the easiest but may result in genetic variation. Cuttings can be more challenging due to rooting issues. For seed sowing, stratify seeds if necessary, then sow in a seed tray and lightly cover. Keep moist until germination. For division, separate clumps carefully and replant immediately. For cuttings, take them in late spring, use rooting hormone, and provide consistent moisture and warmth until established.
