How to Propagate Whorl heath?
(Erica verticillata)
Whorl heath, also known as Marsh heath
Native to South Africa, whorl heath is a flowering evergreen shrub belonging to the Erica genus. Effective propagation involves the use of semi-hardwood cuttings taken from the current year's growth. For optimal results, snip sections of 6-10 cm length, ensuring each has several leaf nodes. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining medium. Providing a stable environment with bright, indirect sunlight and consistent moisture will encourage successful rooting and growth.
