Cultivation and Propagation

Koanophyllon jinotegense can be propagated by seed or division. The seeds should be sown in early spring in a cold frame or directly outdoors. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division in spring or autumn is also possible.
