How to Propagate a King's Mantle Plant

Thunbergia erecta or King's Mantle plants can be kept around 4 or 5 feet tall, though you can let them get much larger. The plant is very easy to propagate using ripened softwood cuttings. Take 4 to 6-inch cuttings before flower buds appear, if possible. Strip the bottom 2 inches of foliage and insert directly into a good seedling mix. Keep moist, but not soggy, and you will see new roots within 2 to 3 weeks. At this point, they can be moved to individual pots. If you pinch back new growth occasionally, they will grow more bushy and you will have good-sized plants in no time.
