The vegetative propagation by cuttings
To do this, cut cuttings about ten centimeters long. The shoots should only be half lignified so that they can form roots without problems. Then do the following:
- Remove all leaves except for the top two leaves.
- Potty with low nutrient Potting soil to fill.
- Insert cuttings and water.
- Put a clear plastic bag over the jar.
- Place the cuttings in a light, about twenty degrees warm place.
- Moisten regularly and ventilate occasionally to avoid mold growth.
- Once the growing pot is rooted, the small strawberry trees are placed in larger pots.

Generative reproduction by seeds
Seeds can be extracted from the ripe fruits of the strawberry tree to win. You should get these into the ground as quickly as possible. Alternatively, you can obtain seeds from specialist dealers.
Caution: Here, too, you usually have to stratify the seeds, because the small grains have to be exposed to the cold for a longer period of time in order to germinate.
- Sow fresh seeds directly, soak purchased seeds in water for a week.
- Growing trays fill with sand, sprinkle seeds (light germinator).
- Place in a place about twenty degrees warm and keep moist.
- After four weeks, put the sand together with the seeds in a bag and seal.
- Place in the refrigerator's vegetable drawer for eight weeks.
- Mix occasionally and check whether the sand is still slightly damp.
- After two months have passed, put the seeds in cultivation containers filled with cultivation soil. The same applies here: Do not cover with substrate.
- Do not expose pots to high temperatures too quickly. About five to ten degrees are ideal.
- Place lightly so that the seeds germinate.
The right place is important, because only then will the seeds sprout. A cool cellar room, for example, is ideal. However, it may take some time for leaves to show up here as well. It takes about three to four months for the small strawberry trees to become so big that you can put them in a potty with you Potting soilthat you can add sand, transplant.
Tips
Growing in the house is possible all year round. Plan the stratification so that, for example, the optimal germination temperature is in a bright garage or greenhouse.
