Introduction
The Goyavier is a tropical fruit shrub appreciated for its delicious fruits and rich in vitamins. To multiply your goyaviers, an effective method is to use small cuttings. In this article, we will explain step by step how to multiply a goyavier from cuttings.
Materials required:
- Goyavier buds (10-15 cm long)
- Nursery pot
- Nutrient-rich substrate
- Watering
- Transparent plastic or plastic bag for cover
- A bright place but sheltered from the direct sun
Steps to multiply a goyavier from small cuttings:
1. Preparation of cuttings: Choose healthy, vigorous cuttings, 10-15 cm long. Make sure the leaves are healthy and remove the leaves at the base of the cutting.
2. Planting of cuttings: Fill a nursery pot with a nutrient-rich substrate. Gently melt the cutting into the substrate, ensuring that only the lower half of the cutting is buried.
3. Watering: Water the substrate slightly to maintain constant humidity. Be careful not to water too much to avoid rotting cuttings.
4. Coverage: Place a transparent plastic or plastic bag over the pot to create a greenhouse effect. This will help maintain moisture and promote the growth of cuttings.
5. Location and maintenance: Place the pot in a bright place but protected from direct sun. Make sure the cuttings are protected from air currents. Regularly check the moisture of the substrate and water if necessary.
6. Transplantation: Once the roots have developed, you may consider transplanting the cuttings into larger individual pots or directly into the open ground if conditions permit.
Conclusion
By following these simple steps, you can easily multiply your goyaviers from small cuttings. This method is ideal for obtaining new healthy and productive plants. Don’t forget to take care of your young plants throughout their growth to ensure their optimal development.
