The Waldsteinia ternata or three-leaf golden strawberry is particularly easy to propagate, as it forms plenty of runners. The Waldsteinia geoides (golden strawberry or Hungarian arum) does not offer this possibility, but it can be easily propagated by division.
The more Waldsteinia, the more beautiful!
Propagation by seeds
The easy-care Waldsteinias can be propagated by sowing, but it is best to buy the seeds from specialist retailers. Collecting them yourself from your own plants is too time-consuming. Especially when you consider that the plants are much easier to propagate in other ways. However, you also have to search thoroughly for the seeds in specialist shops, while young plants are available in abundance.
propagation by division
Propagation by division is easily possible with all types of non-poisonous Waldsteinia. Spring or fall are ideal times. To do this, dig up the plant and separate part of the roots with a sharp spade. Replant it in the desired location.
Put some organic fertilizer in the planting hole, such as well-rotted compost or horn shavings. Then water the roots well. In the first winter protect the Waldsteinie from frost, later this is no longer necessary.
Propagation by offshoots
You don't really have to multiply the trefoil golden strawberry (lat. Waldsteinia ternata), it does it all by itself. It forms plenty of runners. You can cut them off and replant them anywhere you like. At the beginning, the young plants need some fertilizer and plenty of water. However, be sure to avoid waterlogging, otherwise the delicate roots will rot.
Cut the Waldsteinia
The Waldsteinie does not need regular pruning. However, you should always remove dead or diseased plant parts promptly. If you want to prevent your three-leaf golden strawberry from spreading too much, put a root barrier in the ground when planting. Alternatively, periodically prick or trim the rhizomes and aerial runners of the plant.
tips
If you want to multiply the three-leaf golden strawberry, then it is best to use the foothills that the plant regularly develops itself.
