Sackflower

Holubia saccata can be propagated by seed growing, which take place at any time of the year. It has been recommended that the seed coat should be removed, the blunt end of the seed is then chipped and left in water for a short period of time. When roots start appearing, removed from the water and place the plantlet into small pots filled with sterile soil, or a Coir or sowing mix with added sand or perlite (for drainage). They can be enclosed in plastic wrap and placed under fluorescent lights, for further speedier growth. The pots are then best kept in a greenhouse, with a constant temperature of 20-25 °C and the soil should not dry out. The only problem is the pest control of Spider mites. Toxic alkaloids can be found in both leaves and seeds also the seed capsules (fruit) can cause a problem in sheep's wool.
