When placed in the soil, there is a good chance of root rot occurring. When working by either method, leave the seed or cutting laying on the ground, don't cover with soil. Propagation can be done with both seeds and by cuttings. Place a layer of grit on the surface of the soil to prevent moisture from accumulating around the stems base.
