Cultivation and Propagation

Tuberostylis rhizophorae is a perennial herb native to South America. It is most commonly propagated through division or cuttings. To propagate through division, the plant should be dug up and divided into smaller clumps. Each clump should be replanted in a well-draining potting mix and kept in a warm, sunny location. To propagate through cuttings, stem cuttings should be taken from healthy, actively growing plants. The cuttings should be about 4–6 inches long and placed in a moist, well-draining potting mix. The cuttings should be kept moist but not wet, and should be monitored for signs of rooting. Once the cuttings have rooted, they can be transplanted into larger pots or into the garden.
