Growing and Propagation
Periwinkle plants are easy to grow and can be propagated through stem cuttings. To propagate periwinkle, you can take 4-6 inch stem cuttings with many leaves but no flowers. Use a pair of sharp pruning shears to make the cut, and then plant the cutting in a pot filled with a rooting combination of peat moss and sharp sand or perlite. Water the mixture and let it drain before planting the cutting. Apply rooting hormone to the cutting, ensuring at least 1 inch of the stem’s bottom section is covered. Soak the cuttings in soil mix for 18-25 days, and mist the cuttings with water twice daily to keep the leaves hydrated. Once the periwinkle plants show signs of new growth, transplant them to a well-drained garden bed in the sun or full shade.
