How to Propagate Xylocarpus?
Primary propagation for xylocarpus is typically through seed sowing, as cuttings and division are less common due to the plant's woody nature. For successful germination, factors like moist, well-draining soil, warm temperatures, and sufficient indirect light are crucial. Propagation might require pre-treatment methods like soaking or scarification of seeds to overcome dormancy. Difficulty is moderate, given the precision needed for pre-treatment and maintaining appropriate environmental conditions. Steps include: 1) Collect mature seeds, 2) Treat seeds to break dormancy, 3) Sow seeds in a suitable substrate, 4) Maintain steady warmth and moisture levels, 5) Transplant seedlings once established.
