How to Propam a Tree in Goyave from Boutures in Water (With Updates)

Introduction

Goyaviers are delicious and popular fruit trees in many parts of the world. If you want to spread a guava tree from cuttings in the water, follow these simple steps to succeed in your propagation project.

Steps to follow:

  • 1. Preparation of cuttings: Choose healthy and vigorous stems about 15-20 cm long to make your cuttings. Make sure that each cutting has at least 2-3 sheets.
  • 2. Remove the lower leaves: Remove the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving only a few leaves on the upper part.
  • 3. Place cuttings in water: Fill a clear clean water container and place the cuttings in. Make sure the leaves do not touch water to avoid rot.
  • 4. Change water regularly: To avoid water stagnation and bacteria proliferation, change the water from the container every few days.
  • 5. Keep cuttings in sunlight: Place the container containing the cuttings in a bright place but away from direct sunlight.
  • 6. Expectation and observation: It will take a few weeks for the roots to begin to form. Keep monitoring cuttings regularly.

Updates:

Make sure to check your cuttings regularly for signs of rotting or root growth. Once sufficiently developed roots have formed, you can transfer cuttings to an appropriate substrate to help them grow into mature plants.
