How to Propagate Leontopodium?
Primary propagation for leontopodium includes seed sowing and division. Key factors for success involve well-drained soil, cool temperatures, and ample light. Special techniques such as stratifying seeds or taking root cuttings may improve outcomes. Propagation difficulty is moderate, as leontopodium can be sensitive to excessive moisture and specific soil pH. For division, separate clumps in early spring or autumn. Sow seeds in trays with gritty compost, stratify if needed, and maintain light exposure without direct sun. Steps to propagate by division: (1) Carefully lift mature leontopodium clump from soil. (2) Gently divide into smaller clumps, ensuring each has roots. (3) Replant immediately at appropriate spacing, water thoroughly.
