How to Propagate Meadow barley?
(Hordeum brachyantherum)
Meadow barley, also known as California barley
Meadow barley can be effectively propagated through division. This is a technique involving the separation of a mature plant into smaller parts, each of which has its own root section that is then replanted. For optimal establishment, it is important to ensure that each division has adequate roots and shoots. Carefully dig up the parent plant, maintaining the root structure as intact as possible. Using a sharp, sterile tool, the clump is gently broken apart at the natural divisions to minimize stress. The divisions are then replanted in suitable growing conditions, with attention to appropriate soil moisture and light exposure to encourage successful rooting and growth.
