Tips on Propagating Fragrant Pandan
- Provide sufficient ground space for the mature plant to produce numerous suckers for propagation.
- Separate the offsets only when they have their own roots for optimum growth.
- To soak the plantlet (especially if it has only 1-2 aerial roots that are rather thick), in clean water for a week or two to encourage more secondary root growth before potting in soil. Soak only the root section, not the leaves.
- In temperate or non-hardy regions: propagate during the warmer months, preferably in pots so that it can be over wintered indoors during winter and protected from frost. During winter too, water sparingly on the soil, not on the crown of plant to prevent trapped water that will lead to rot and its eventual demise. Learn more about winter care, where to buy them, etc. from this 3-year old Daleys Fruit Tree forum thread on Pandan amaryllifolius that’s to-date still active.
