When propagating starflowers, you need to choose suitable cuttings. It is better to choose branches that are strong, have full internodes and have terminal buds.

How to propagate star flower

Use a transparent plastic cup, make a hole in the bottom, then place orchid stone on the bottom and add water, then put the prepared cuttings into the cup for aquatic root induction.

Be careful not to let the water level be too high when inducing roots.

Generally it takes about 1-2 weeks for the roots to take root. After the roots grow out, you can transplant it into a small flowerpot and place it in a well-lit place. Wait until a relatively complete root system has grown before transplanting.
