Star Anise Propagation
Star anise is propagated by seeds or cuttings. Seeds are propagated best when the temperature ranges from 65-70 F (18-20 C). As the seeds do not appreciate transplantation, you can directly sow the seeds in the pot or the garden.
Seed propagation is a time-consuming process, so you can consider buying a well-grown plant from a nursery and nurturing it at home.
Water the seeds frequently to keep the soil moist and ensure the pot has enough drainage holes in the bottom to drain excess water.
If growing from cuttings, snip a 5-6 inches healthy hardwood stem near the leaf node, scrap the ends, and plant it in a blend of peat moss, perlite, and sand. Water well, a,d provide ample sunlight.
