Propagation
Sow fresh seeds by removing the waxy coating and stratify in peat for 2-months then plant in a container.

Take semi-hardwood cuttings from late spring to midsummer and place in a well drained media and keep moist. Cuttings are difficult to root up and can be enhanced by soaking the base in 0.1% AgNO 3 solution for 24 hours.
