How to Propagate Acanthus montanus
The mountain bear’s breeches, Acanthus montanus, a creature of craggy slopes, yields its secrets grudgingly. Seed, stubbornly dormant, offers little hope. Cuttings, fragile sprigs of emerald, demand a nurturing touch – a dance with humidity and warmth, a whispered prayer against rot. Weeks bleed into months, a slow, anxious vigil. Yet, the first tentative root, a tenacious thread of life, ignites a surge of joy. To coax these mountain giants from a sliver of stem, to witness their unfolding majesty – this is the gardener’s triumph, a testament to patience, a whispered victory against the odds.
