Myrtle spurge propagates best from , but it will also grow from softwood cuttings. Both methods will yield a transable specimen within just a few months however, seed-grown myrtle spurge s will possess a more uniform, compact growth habit than those grown from cuttings. Propagating Myrtle Spurge from Seed1 Start myrtle spurge in somewhat large containers so they have room to spread and produce a developed root system by ing time. Keep the containers indoors or in a cold frame during the germination process, if starting them in a frost-prone climate.2 Fill 4-inch containers with drainage holes with a mixture of five parts seed-starting compost and one part coarse sand or perlite. Leave the top 1/2-inch of each pot empty. Add water until the growing mixture feels moist in the top 3 inches.3 Scatter four or five myrtle spurge onto the soil. Gently press them onto the surface to anchor them. Cover the with a 1/4-inch thick layer of soil. Mist the soil to settle it.4 Arrange the containers on a propagation mat near a source of bright, indirect sunlight, such as near a lightly shaded south-facing window. Set the propagation mat temperature to 85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 70 degrees F at night.5 Maintain a light, constant level of moisture Exported By ExportYourStore
