An Acoma Crape Myrtle can be multiplied using several methods: 1. Rooting stem cuttings: Take stem cuttings from healthy plants during the growing season. Cut a 4- to 6-inch section of the stem, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and provide bright indirect light until the cutting develops roots and new growth. 2. Division: Acoma Crape Myrtle can be divided by digging up the plant and dividing it into several smaller plants. Carefully separate the root system and replant the sections in well-draining soil. 3. Air layering: Select a healthy, low branch and make a small incision in the bark. Apply rooting hormone to the wound and cover it with moist sphagnum moss. Wrap the moss in plastic wrap and secure it with tape. Roots will develop where the branch meets the moss. Once the roots are established, cut the branch and plant it in well-draining soil. 4. Grafting: Acoma Crape Myrtle can be grafted onto rootstock to create a new plant with specific traits. This should be done by a professional or experienced gardener.
