Materials required:
- A healthy and vigorous goyavier
- Disinfected gardening scissors

- Light and fertile earth
- An adequate pot size

Steps of the Goyavier Marcottage:
1. Preparation of the parent plant:
Choose a healthy and vigorous branch on your goyavier. Make a diagonal incision under a knot without detaching the branch of the main tree.
2. Preparation of coconut bark:
Cut a strip of coconut bark about 10 cm long and 2 cm wide. Place it around the incised area of the branch by attaching it with a gardening wire.
3. Expectation and maintenance:
Water the marcottage area regularly to maintain high humidity. After a few weeks, roots will begin to form. You can check by gently lifting the coconut bark.
4. Separation and transplantation:
Once new roots have developed sufficiently, you can cut the branch below the marcottage area. Transplant the new plant in a pot with light and fertile soil.
5. New plant maintenance:
Place your new goyavier plant in a bright but sun-protected place. Water regularly and ensure the soil remains moist but well drained. Size regularly to promote healthy growth.
Additional tips:
- Marcottage is recommended in spring to enjoy the optimal growing season.
- You can promote root formation by applying a root stimulator on the marcottage area.
- Be sure to protect the new plant from strong winds and extreme temperatures during the first few weeks after transplantation.
