How to Propagate Morinda?
Morinda is commonly propagated through seed sowing, stem cuttings, or air layering. Key factors for success include warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. It’s critical to maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Specific to morinda is the need for patience when propagating from seed, as germination can be slow. This plant can be challenging to propagate due to its sensitivity to overwatering and root rot. For cuttings: 1) Cut a healthy stem 4-6 inches long; 2) Remove the lower leaves; 3) Dip the cut end into rooting hormone; 4) Plant in a mixture of peat and perlite; 5) Place in bright, indirect light; 6) Keep soil consistently moist; 7) Transplant once rooted, which may take several weeks.
