Sutera (Bacopa) Cutting Propagation: Greenhouse Requirements

Rooting Bacopa Cuttings: Heat and Humidity Are Critical

Sutera (commonly sold as bacopa) roots readily from 10 cm (4-inch) cuttings under the right conditions.

Protocol

1. Take 10 cm tip cuttings
2. Strip lower leaves
3. Dip in rooting hormone (improves success)
4. Stick in soilless mix or damp sand
5. Provide bottom heat (75°F) and high humidity
6. Maintain bright light

Greenhouse Limitations

An unheated greenhouse in Wales is unsuitable for rooting bacopa except in late spring/summer when internal temperatures rise sufficiently. Without consistent warmth and humidity, cuttings will rot or fail to root. Consider a heated propagator or indoor setup under lights for reliable results.
