How to propagate pentas

1. Seeding method

The best time to sow is spring, when the temperature is relatively stable and will not hinder seed germination. Choose healthy fresh seeds. Avoid using shriveled small seeds, which will affect the germination rate. Prepare a clean substrate in advance, then use warm water to germinate, soak the seeds in water, and take them out after about 12 hours. Finally, scatter the germinated seeds in the substrate, cover them with a layer of soil, avoid exposure to sunlight, spray water appropriately to keep them moist, and wait 7-10 days for them to germinate.

2. Cutting method

When doing this, don't do it in winter, it can be done in other seasons. Cut a 5-7cm branch from the pentas plant. The branches must be strong enough and have 3-4 nodes on them, and the leaves at the base should be cut off with scissors. After processing, insert it into the soil. It is best to use chopsticks or a wooden stick to poke a hole in the soil first to avoid damage when using branch cuttings. After cuttings, fix the branches with soil, place them in a semi-shaded place, and wait for the branches to grow roots.
