How to grow jacquier from onion cuttings for beginners
The jacquier is a fast growing tropical fruit tree that produces large, delicious fruits. If you are a gardening beginner and want to grow jacquier from cuttings, you are in the right place. Follow these simple steps to succeed in the Jacquier culture at home.
1. Prepare onion cuttings
- Start by selecting a healthy and vigorous onion cutting that has roots.
- Remove the lower leaves from the cutting to leave about a third of the stem naked.
- Soak the cutting in water for a few hours to promote root development.
2. Choose an appropriate location
The jacquier requires a lot of sun to thrive. Make sure you choose a place in your garden that receives at least six hours of direct sun a day.
3. Prepare soil
- Dig a hole into the ground, about twice as wide and deep as the moth of the cutting.
- Add well-decomposed compost or manure to the hole to enrich the soil.
- Mix compost or manure well with the hole soil.
4. Plant onion cutting
Plant the onion cutting in the prepared hole by ensuring that the bare part of the stem is buried in the ground. Slightly ground around the cutting to ensure good stability.
5. Water regularly
Water the freshly planted onion cutting regularly to keep the soil moist but not wet. Monitor the growth of the cutting carefully and adjust the watering accordingly.
6. Provide additional care
- Bring balanced fertilizer once a month to promote the growth of the cutting.
- Cut unwanted branches to encourage the development of a healthy tree structure.
- Protect the cutting from pests by regularly inspecting leaves and using natural treatments if necessary.
7. Harvest the fruits of your work
The jacquier usually takes a few years to start producing fruit. Be patient and continue to provide appropriate care to your tree. Once the jacquier starts producing fruit, enjoy your efforts by tasting these delicious rewards.
