· With a clean, sharp knife, cut the ligularia root crown into the number of divisions you desire. Gently pull these division roots apart from the main roots and then immediately set the new division into the water and fertilizer mix. · Ligularia, a genus of perennial plants known for their striking foliage and vibrant yellow flowers, can be propagated through several methods: division, seeds, and cuttings. Each technique aligns with the plant's natural growth habits and ensures successful reproduction. · With these methods and considerations, you're well-equipped to propagate Ligularia successfully. Next, let’s explore the specific challenges you might face during propagation and how to overcome them. · Plant them in a permanent bed with constantly moist, mildly acidic soil. Divide ligularia plants in early spring or late summer when the plant is halfway dormant. Prepare a bed for the divisions with the same growing conditions as the parent plant before digging them up. · Ligularia will wilt quickly when stressed. Dig up the plant, getting as much of the roots as you can. Gently brush and shake all soil off the roots and untangle long roots as much as you can. With a clean, sharp knife, cut the ligularia root crown into the number of divisions you desire. Ligulariaplants can be propagated by division in early spring. Ligularias self sow readily. These seedlings can be transplanted to other areas of the garden. Seeds can be sown directly in the garden in the spring or fall. · Using sharp garden shears or a knife, divide the plant’s rhizomes into smaller sections. Each section should have at least one growth point or bud, which will develop into a new plant.
