how to propagate Achlys triphylla

The vanilla scent, a whisper on the breeze, hinted at the treasure within: Achlys triphylla, the elusive deerfoot. Propagation, a dance with the subtle rhythms of nature, proved a test of patience. Seed, a fickle promise, failed to yield its secrets. Cuttings, fragile green wands, demanded constant vigilance, their survival a daily gamble against rot and slow growth. Yet, the triumph of coaxing roots from a stem, the unfurling of each silvery leaf, felt like a whispered victory, a testament to the gardener’s unwavering dedication. The reward? Not just more deerfoot, but a deeper connection to the wild heart of the garden.
