How to Propagate Wightia?
Wightia can be propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings or seeds. Key factors for success include maintaining high humidity, ensuring consistent temperatures of around 20-25°C, and using well-draining soil. Special considerations involve treating cuttings with rooting hormone and providing bottom heat. Propagation is moderately difficult, with challenges arising from the need for precise environmental conditions. Steps for cuttings include: 1) Take semi-hardwood cuttings in summer, 2) Dip the base in rooting hormone, 3) Plant in a mixture of peat and perlite, 4) Cover with a plastic bag to retain moisture, and 5) Place in indirect light and check for root development periodically.
