How to Propagate Indian rose chestnut?
(Mesua ferrea)
Indian rose chestnut, also known as Ceylon ironwood
Indian rose chestnut can be effectively propagated through the method of cuttings. To enhance rooting success, utilize semi-hardwood cuttings taken from healthy parent plants. These cuttings should ideally be treated with a rooting hormone to promote the development of roots. Plant these cuttings in a well-draining, sterile potting mix to prevent diseases and ensure good moisture retention without waterlogging. Regular monitoring for moisture levels and root development is crucial for optimal growth.
