How to Propagate Acanthus sennii
The deeply lobed leaves of Acanthus sennii, the Somali acanthus, beckoned—a siren song of architectural beauty. Yet, coaxing new life from this rare jewel proved a thorny affair. Seeds, stubbornly dormant, offered no easy path. Cuttings, fragile slips of emerald, threatened to succumb to rot, each wilting leaf a tiny heartbreak. But then, a triumph! A tenacious cutting, rooted at last, unfurled its first new leaf, a vibrant flag hoisted against the odds. The reward: a visceral thrill, the quiet satisfaction of nurturing life from the brink, a tangible connection to the wild beauty of Somalia itself.
