You can propagate comfrey plant by using small root segments, about 2 to 3 centimeters long, and potting them in cardboard toilet tubes. Keep them watered and in a warm greenhouse until they start to grow.

Why do you use cardboard toilet tubes?

I use cardboard toilet tubes for a few reasons. Firstly, they are environmentally friendly as they can decompose and go back into the soil. Secondly, they make the planting process simple as you can just dig a hole in the shape of the tube and place it in. Thirdly, using toilet tubes prevents disturbance to the root system when transplanting.

Are the cardboard toilet tubes free?

Yes, the cardboard toilet tubes are free as they are typically thrown away after use. I collect them throughout the year and have a ready supply in the spring for planting.

What is the success rate of propagation using this method?

The success rate of propagation using this method can vary, but in this particular case, out of 20 root segments planted, 18 successfully grew into new comfrey plants. This is a fantastic success rate.

What can you do with the propagated comfrey plants?

You can plant the propagated comfrey plants in your own garden, give them away to friends and those who want them, or sell them. Selling them can be a way to raise some money or use the proceeds for purchasing items on eBay.
