Thanks for the link, Gianluca. I’ll be interested to know how you go with the root propagation. I also tried taking a root cutting after a length of its brittle root system snapped off while repotting (6m ago here in winter in Australia). It has sat unchanged for around 6 months; no visible growth but no deterioration. I was fortunate enough to source my Weldenia from a brilliant grower here in Tasmania called Sally Johannsohn, which is no help to anyone outside of Australia, I’m sorry. I think Martin is right, the limited means of propagation is, no doubt, why they are so expensive. I have been hunting for seeds for quite some time, as I would love to increase the genetic diversity of mine. As far as I’m aware there are next to no seeds formed in cultivation? I suspect virtually all Weldenia in trade has been vegetatively propagated and are almost all clones. Perhaps someone else has thoughts on this? Fwiw I grow mine in large containers with regular potting mix that has around 20-30% of coarse grit added for drainage, which I’ve found to be paramount. Winter wet/drainage has always been a greater challenge than temperatures (I get down to -13°/8f).
