How to Propagate Puka?
(Meryta sinclairii)
Puka, also known as Puka
A canopy-dweller indigenous to New Zealand, puka thrives in coastal landscapes. It's recognizable by its large, glossy leaves and rounded growth habit. For propagation, stem cuttings have proven most effective. Start with semi-hardwood cuttings, ensuring a clean cut to prevent infection. Use a rooting hormone to foster swift growth, and provide a humid, stable environment to encourage root development. With optimal care, cuttings can successfully establish, allowing gardeners to cultivate the vibrant essence of puka in their own green spaces.
