Plant Propagation

pachysandra?

20 years ago

Can pachysandra be propagated? Can clippings be taken & placed in good rooting material to root? Also, what can I do to make my pachysandras expand? Could I try to do some cuttings now to root? I'm in Middle Tenn. & our fall weather is usually nice with warm days & cool nights.

Pachysandra spreads by stolens rooting themself as the expand around the original plant. You can dig up the rooted stolens and spread them out if you want but they are pretty good at covering at their own rate. Al

Cuttings may be taken with a short piece of stem & a leaf. apply 0.3% IBA rooting hormone. stick in well drained soil & mist taking 5 weeks to root.
