How to spread a goyavier from cuttings with handkerchief paper
Goyavier is a tropical shrub that produces delicious fruits rich in vitamin C. If you want to spread a goyavier from cuttings with a 100% success rate, handkerchief paper is a simple and effective method to try. Follow the steps below to get new goyavier plants easily.
Materials required:
- Goyavier buds
- Handkerchief paper
- Water
- A transparent container
- A bright place but sheltered from the direct sun
Steps to follow:
1. Preparation of cuttings
Start by taking healthy, vigorous cuttings from an existing goyavier foot. The cuttings must be about 10 to 15 centimetres long and come from young shoots. Remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting to leave only a few leaves at the end.
2. Preparation of tissue paper
Moisten the handkerchief slightly to make it moist, but not dripping. Gently wrap the base of the cuttings in the wet tissue paper to keep them hydrated during the propagation process.
3. Planting cuttings
Place the cuttings wrapped in tissue paper in a transparent container filled with water. Make sure the tips of the cuttings touch the water without being completely immersed. Place the container in a bright place but in direct sunlight.
4. Expectation and maintenance
Monitor the development of cuttings regularly. Make sure that the tissue paper remains moistened and that the cuttings do not rot. After a few weeks, you should start to observe roots forming at the bottom of the cuttings. Once the roots are sufficiently developed, you can transplant the cuttings into individual pots filled with light and well drained soil.
By following these simple steps, you can spread a goyavier from cuttings with a 100% success rate. Don’t forget to take care of your new plants by watering them regularly and providing them with a bright environment to promote their growth. Soon you can enjoy delicious fruits from your own Goyavier tree.
