Calomnion denticulatum can be propagated by spores, which are released from the sporangia in the centre of the thallus. The spores are spread by wind and water and can germinate on moist surfaces. The plant can also be propagated by vegetative means, such as fragmentation and division of the thallus. When propagating by division, the thallus should be cut into small pieces and each piece should be planted in moist soil. The plant should be kept in a warm, humid environment and should be watered regularly.
