1. Can it be propagated by cuttings?

Moneywort can be propagated by cuttings. Because the seeds are relatively small and difficult to collect, cuttings are a more commonly used propagation method. Cuttings are relatively simple to operate and have a high survival rate. There are not many restrictions on time and cuttings can be done throughout the year. However, the best time is spring and autumn when the temperature is more suitable, which is good for later survival and growth. It can also be done in other seasons, but be careful to avoid noon in summer.

1. Cut the cuttings: Before cuttings, you must first select the cuttings. Choose a well-growing Moneywort plant, and cut strong branches without disease and insect pests from it. Make sure there are 3-4 stem nodes on each section, and keep the leaves on the top. Such branches have a high survival rate.

2. Prepare the substrate: There are not too many requirements for the substrate. The main thing is to ensure that it is breathable and loose. You can mix vermiculite, peat soil, and perlite. The substrate prepared in this way can promote rooting.

3. Carry out cuttings: Insert the cut Moneywort cuttings into the substrate, about 3 cm deep, and do not insert them too deep.

4. Maintenance and management: After cutting, you can water it thoroughly and place it in a semi-shaded environment to wait for rooting. The surrounding temperature should be kept at around 18-22 degrees Celsius.
