Erica Reproduction
Erica can be propagated by cuttings from shoots in summer, but the easiest way is by dividing the bush in the fall or early spring. 1-2 years after planting the bush, you can carefully dig it up, divide it into several parts and plant it.
The roots are very small, fibrous, so they cannot be kept in the air for a long time.
