How to Propagate Protium?
Primary propagation of protium can be done through seed sowing or stem cuttings. Key factors for success include maintaining warm temperatures and high humidity, appropriate light exposure without direct sunlight, and well-draining soil. Special considerations for protium involve pre-treating seeds to improve germination and using rooting hormones for cuttings. Propagation is moderately challenging due to slow growth and sensitivity to root disturbance. Steps: 1. For seeds, scarify then soak in warm water. 2. Sow in a well-draining mix, lightly cover, and keep moist. 3. For cuttings, choose healthy stems, apply rooting hormone, and insert into a similar mix. 4. Maintain consistent warmth and humidity. 5. Transplant once established.
