Technique of Mango Butts Rooting
Mango cuttings are a great way to reproduce your favorite mango varieties. Here is a simple method to successfully root mango cuttings:
- First select a healthy branch about 30 cm long on a mature tree and take a bevel cutting using a sharp and clean tool.
- Remove the leaves from the lower part of the cutting to expose the nodes, which are areas capable of developing roots.
- Soak the base of the cutting in water or a rooting hormone to promote root development.
- Plant the cutting in a light, well drained substrate, ensuring that only nodes are buried in the soil.
- Water the cutting regularly to keep the substrate moist but not wet.
- Place the cutting in a bright place but sheltered from the direct sun to promote root growth.
- After a few weeks, you should start to observe new shoots and roots forming, indicating that the cutting has successfully rooted.
Plug-in technique in Aloe Vera
Grafting is a technique often used to propagate succulent plants such as aloe vera. Here is how to effectively graft aloe:
- Choose two healthy plants: a root plant and a grafting plant.
- Remove a rejection from the donor plant by keeping a piece of the main stem attached to the graft.
- On the rootstock plant, make a horizontal incision on the top of the rosette to create a location for the graft.
- Gently insert the graft into the incision of the rootstock by ensuring that it is properly fixed in place.
- Use an adhesive tape to keep the graft in place and promote tissue fusion.
- Place the grafted plant in a bright but sun-protected location to promote healing and prevent the graft from drying out.
- After a few weeks, remove the tape and monitor the growth of the graft. Once it has taken well and started growing, you can remove the rest of the main stem from the donor plant.
With these techniques of rooting mango cuttings and grafting in vera aloe, you can easily multiply your favorite plants to enrich your garden or your collection of indoor plants.
