In the garden bed, the Christmas rose itself ensures its spread. The flowers form seeds that sow themselves and thus ensure a constant supply of Christmas roses. If you want to take care of the propagation yourself, simply divide larger plants.

Christmas roses in the bed multiply themselves

Propagate Christmas rose by division

Propagating a snow rose by division is the easiest route to new plants. Wait until after flowering to divide the Christmas rose.

  • Dig up a bigger snow rose
  • Split in the middle
  • use plants
  • Tread the earth carefully
  • Pour enough

Make sure you dig deep enough to get the Christmas rose out of the ground. The long roots must not be damaged too much. The planting holes for planting should also be dug deep enough.

Let snow rose multiply yourself

To allow the Christmas rose to reproduce itself, do not cut back the Christmas rose after it has bloomed.

In the flowers, the seeds mature in capsules. When ripe, the seed pods open and fall into the bed or are sown by birds.

Obtain seeds for sowing

If you want to seed the snow rose yourself, collect the mature seed pods from the plant. Place them in a freezer bag and shake vigorously. The seeds then fall out and can be sown immediately.

The Christmas rose is a cold germ. It is therefore best to sow the seeds directly at the desired location in the garden.

If you want to grow Christmas roses in pots, leave the pots on the balcony or terrace after sowing until the first leaves appear.

Caution: the seed is very poisonous!

All parts of the Christmas rose are poisonous, especially the seeds. Even the consumption of a few seeds can end badly.

Keep children and pets out of reach of the seeds to avoid accidents.

tips and tricks

When propagating by seeds, you must be aware that the young Christmas roses will not be of the same variety. The flowers of a Christmas rose grown from seed can differ significantly from those of the parent plant.
