How to Grow Gliricidia from Seed
Gliricidia is best grown from seeds, as they offer the highest success rates. While stem cuttings can also be used for propagation, they often have lower establishment rates. To grow Gliricidia from seed, follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Soil: Choose well-prepared soil for planting.
- Plant the Seeds: Sow the seeds directly into the soil or start them in a nursery. Plant each seed at a depth of 1-2 cm.
- Germination: Seeds will begin to sprout in 7-14 days with the right conditions.
- Transplanting: If starting in a nursery, allow the seedlings to grow for 6-8 weeks before transplanting them into the ground.
