Propagating Alamanda, Lakeview Jasmine, Jatropha, and Thryallis from Cuttings

A gardener asked whether they could start new plants from cuttings of Alamanda, Lakeview Jasmine, Jatropha, and Thryallis, and whether to use water or moist soil. They also noticed black seeds on Thryallis.

Best Propagation Method

Expert Nick recommends using moist vermiculite for cuttings. Take 3- to 4-inch tip cuttings, place them in a shadier area, and cover with perforated plastic bags to maintain humidity around the crown.

Thryallis Seeds

Nick has not grown Thryallis from seed but expressed interest in hearing about germination results. He encourages experimentation and follow-up.
