How do you propagate trailing St. John's wort
Trailing St. John's wort can be propagated by seeding, cuttage, or plant division. To sow seeds yourself, sow them in a sand bed. Dust a thin layer of soil on them, water once, and sprout the seeds in temperatures of 10 to 12 ℃. Keep the potting soil moist. Transplant seedlings when they grow to 5 to 10 cm tall.
For St. John's worts with dense branches, propagation is usually performed at the end of summer by soft-branch cuttage. Choose some robust, soft branches that sprouted in the current year. Cut 10 to 15 cm-long from the tip, making sure to keep at least 2 full leaves on each branch. Insert the cut branches into the soil and keep half the length aboveground. Keep the soil and the environment moist. When the seedlings reach 20 cm tall, transplant to pots. Seedlings need to grow to 70 cm tall to move outdoors or wait until the end of the next summer.
