How to Propagate Periploca?
Periploca is commonly propagated through seed-sowing, hardwood cuttings, or layering. Key factors include warm temperatures, bright indirect light, and well-draining soil to enhance rooting and growth. Specific to periploca, ensuring cuttings are taken in the correct season and treated with rooting hormone can increase success. Propagating periploca can be moderately difficult due to its sensitivity to rot and slow root development. Steps for cuttings include: 1) Cut a 6-8 inch piece of hardwood stem in late winter, 2) Treat the base with rooting hormone, 3) Plant in a mix of sand and peat, 4) Maintain slight humidity and warmth, 5) Wait for root formation before transplanting.
