Erysimum scoparium thrives when propagated through cuttings, making it accessible for both novice gardeners and experienced cultivars. To ensure the best outcomes, use healthy, non-flowering shoots as they root more readily. Cuttings should be taken from vigorous plants, ideally in the morning. It is essential to use a sharp and clean tool to make a clean cut, which helps prevent disease and promotes better root development. For optimal rooting, dip the cut end into rooting hormone before planting. A well-draining soil mix is crucial to avoid water-logging, which can cause rot. Consistent moisture and warmth encourage growth, so maintain a stable environment for your cuttings. Clear plastic coverings can create a greenhouse effect, beneficial for root development. Once rooted, health checks should be regular, allowing the successful transition of the young plants into their new environment.
