Cultivation and Propagation

Stomatanthes corumbensis is a perennial that can be propagated from seed or cuttings. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. To propagate from seed, sow the seeds in a well-drained seed starting mix in the spring. Keep the soil moist and provide plenty of light. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on until they are ready to be planted in the garden. To propagate from cuttings, take cuttings from the tips of the branches in late spring or early summer. Place the cuttings in a moist medium such as sand or perlite and keep in a warm, bright location until they have rooted. Once rooted, the cuttings can be transplanted into individual pots and grown on until they are ready to be planted in the garden.
