There are two methods by which the slightly poisonous flower maple can be propagated, namely by seed and cuttings. Propagation via cuttings is carried out more frequently because it is particularly easy.
Propagation by seed
- Prepare seed pot
- lay out seeds
- Cover with soil
- Moisten slightly
- Put on a glass pane or foil
- Set up warm and bright
The ideal germination temperature is around 18 degrees. Avoid large temperature differences.
Until the seeds emerge, remove the foil or glass once a day so that the soil and later the seedling do not get moldy.
After emergence, the small flowered mallows are placed individually in small pots. Put them in a sheltered spot that's warm and bright enough.
Propagate flowering hollyhock by cuttings
Cuttings for propagation are best cut either immediately after the first sprouting or in summer. Select semi-lignified shoots. They take root best.
The individual cuttings should be about 15 centimeters long. Remove the lower leaves and any bud bases.
Prepare small pots with potting soil. Provide loose soil. If necessary, mix them with some sand or peat.
Allow cuttings to root
Stick the prepared cuttings into the soil, pressing them down lightly. Spray the shoots with water to keep the soil from getting too wet.
Drying out of the soil must be avoided in any case. Cover the cuttings with clear foil to prevent the water from evaporating. The film must be aired once a day.
You can tell that the cuttings have formed roots when new leaves and small shoots form. Now the flowering hollyhock can be cared for as normal.
