Propagation

By Seed

Sow seeds in autumn in a sandy, well-drained soil mixture. Use a smoke pre-treatment to optimize germination. Seedlings appear after 2 to 3 weeks and should be nurtured until they are about 10 mm tall, then transplant them into individual containers. Pinch out the terminal shoots to promote the bushy growth of the plant.

By Cutting

Take cuttings from actively growing shoots (preferably as heel cuttings), in autumn or spring to early summer. Place them in rooting trays in a finely milled bark mix in special propagation units with bottom heat benches and overhead misters. Rooting takes place in ± 3 weeks and the same care must be taken when transplanting the cuttings into individual containers.
