How to Propagate Zelkova?
Zelkova can be propagated through seeds, softwood cuttings, or air layering. Key to success are factors such as well-draining soil, consistent moisture, and optimal temperatures ranging from 20-24°C. Special considerations include stratifying seeds to overcome dormancy and using rooting hormones for cuttings. The propagation difficulty is moderate, with some challenges in seed germination consistency and rooting cuttings. Steps: 1) For seeds, stratify for 60 days then sow in spring. 2) For cuttings, take in late spring, apply hormone, and place in moist medium. 3) For layering, notch stem in summer and cover with soil until roots form.
