To propagate a toad lily, the best method is division in early spring when new growth appears, where you can simply dig up the plant and separate the clumps, ensuring each section has healthy roots and shoots; alternatively, you can also take stem cuttings in early summer before flower buds develop, dipping the cut end in rooting hormone and planting them in moist potting mix; lastly, you can grow toad lilies from seed, but this can be less reliable and requires fresh seeds sown in a well-draining mix and kept warm and moist for germination.
Key points about propagating toad lilies:
