Odina malifolia Chiov.
This tree is propagated by seeds and stem cuttings. Steps to follow: 1. Seed propagation: • Sow collected seeds in seed tray filled with a ration of 3 peat moss: 1 compost, 5 cm apart. • Irrigate the seed tray three times a week. • Germination commences from 24 days. Seed germination of this species is very low and average germination percentage is around 2%. 2. Cutting propagation: • For stem cutting propagation, use semi-hardwood cuttings with at least 5 nodes. • For better rooting results, use cutting hormone, and plant in long root trainer or pots filled with a ratio of 1 peat moss: 3 perlites: 1 compost. • Leave cutting in a bench with mist irrigation. • Stem roots can appear after 167 days, with average rooting percentage around 1%.
