Propagation & Germination
Pre-treatment: Cuttings should have several shoot buds, cut to 15 cm lengths. All mature leaves are removed except the terminal leaves. Leaf buds in the axils of leaves are not removed. Cuttings are directly stuck into containers filled with moistened medium. No rooting hormones are used.
Establishment: Collect softwood stem cuttings when the leaves have expanded and the stems are firm. During collection, stem cuttings need to be kept moist and cool, and must be treated immediately after collection.
