cushion grass propagation

The silvery-grey cushions of Aciachne pulvinata, beckoning like miniature moonscapes, whispered a challenge. Seed propagation, a frustrating dance with elusive germination, yielded little more than whispers of hope. But from the stubborn stems, a different story unfolded. A sliver of cutting, carefully coaxed under a humid dome, felt like a fragile secret. Days stretched into weeks, anticipation simmering like the midday sun, until the first hesitant roots, pale tendrils reaching for life, unfurled. Each new shoot, a tiny victory etched against the odds, a testament to the patient gardener’s touch and the plant’s enduring resilience. The reward? A flourishing carpet, a silvery expanse woven from perseverance and the quiet magic of propagation.
