Propagation: Propagate tetragastris mainly by seed sowing or cuttings. Ensure warm temperatures (20-25°C), adequate light, and well-draining soil. Techniques like seed scarification or stratification can improve germination. The process is moderately challenging due to seed dormancy and requires careful attention to moisture and light.
