<\/span><\/h2>\nThe propagation of the Bottlebrush plants can be carried out in two different ways. On the one hand, it can be propagated by seeds. The Bottlebrush plant is a pyrophyte, which means that its seed pods can last for years and only burst and release the seeds when exposed to strong heat. In its natural home, Australia, the Bottlebrush plants, like other pyrophytes, pursues the strategy of dropping their seeds on fertile soil in bush fires if their own existence is endangered by the fire.<\/p>\n
To get to the seeds, you have to heat the fruit capsules of the Bottlebrush plants either over a flame or in the oven. At the same time, the heat stimulus breaks the dormancy of the seeds and makes them germinable. You can then sow them in seed trays filled with substrate. Choose a nutrient-poor potting soil such as our peat-free Plantura organic herb and seed soil. Since the Bottlebrush plant is a light germinator, you should not cover the delicate seeds or only cover them with a very thin layer of the substrate. The optimal germination temperature is 15 \u00b0 C. Always keep the soil moist.<\/p>\n
