How do you propagate bunya pine?
If propagating by seed, use river sand or nursery soil. Spread the seeds evenly on the soil surface and cover it with a thin layer of soil to keep the soil moist. Generally, the seeds will germinate in 45 days, and young leaves will grow in one month. The seedlings can be transplanted to pots after one year, and transplanted outdoors (or kept in pots) after two years. Please note that if it is grown indoors with sufficient water and fertilizer, it will grow about 60 cm per year. Make sure the weight of the soil in the pot of a mature bunya pine is sufficient to keep it upright.
You can also propagate bunya pine by cuttings. In spring, cut upwardly growing branches of about 10 cm, treat with rooting powder, and insert into sterile soil. It can take root and sprout in about 45 days. Araucaria heterophylla is difficult to root from cuttings, so you need to keep the substrate moist and spray water daily for moisture.
