Expert Answer

First, you need all the essential equipment. If you are not someone who takes this as a full-time job, you will only need a pair of clippers, a sharp knife, and a pair of gloves. Those are the fundamental tools. However, it depends on the propagation methods you’re about to use. There are four common ways to do propagation: leaf cuttings, stem cuttings, rhizome propagation, tuber propagation and water propagation.

Question

When should I harvest the seeds from my lantana?

Ninox

Top Answerer

You can harvest the seeds when the fruits are black. Be careful when doing this, as the fruits are toxic.

Question

Can I cut back my plant after a freeze?

Community Answer

Wait until the plant starts growing again (assuming it isn't dead entirely), and then cut away all the dead material. Check the base of the stem for new growth, since the roots are the part most likely to have survived.

Question

Why is my hanging lantana plant dropping many leaves?

Ninox

Top Answerer

Lantana is sensitive to a wide range of pests: aphids, white flies, red spiders, mites... In all cases, you have to use insecticide to get rid of them.

Question

Can Lantana grow as a perennial in Atlanta?

Community Answer

Yes! We're on Lake Sinclair. Our lantana, planted in full sun, thrives to the point we must prune a lot each spring. If not pruned, it simply goes wild. Requires minimal maintenance, looks beautiful, spreads wildly.
