To replant mistletoe, first, identify a suitable host tree, as mistletoe is a hemiparasite and requires a living tree to thrive.

Gently press the seeds into a small wound or crevice on the host tree's bark to ensure good contact. Keep in mind that mistletoe can take several years to establish itself and may not thrive in all environments.
