How to Propagate Mediterranean mallow?
(Malva olbia)
Mediterranean mallow, also known as Lavatera, Wild sunflower, Tree mallow
Mediterranean mallow thrives when propagated through cuttings. For optimal results, select healthy, non-flowering stems and use a sharp, clean cutting tool to minimize stress and infection. Immediately plant the cuttings in a well-draining soil mix, ensuring that they are kept moist but not waterlogged. Rooting hormones can enhance success rates but are optional depending on the grower's preference. Providing indirect light and regular misting will support the cuttings in establishing a robust root system.
