How to spread a lemon tree from cuttings with turmeric powder
Propagating a lemon tree from cuttings is an effective way to multiply your fruit trees. Using turmeric powder can promote root development and protect cuttings from infections. Here is a practical guide to spreading a lemon tree with turmeric powder:
Materials required:
- Lemonberry buds
- Turmeric powder
- Croppot
- Land
- Watering
- Transparent plastic film
Steps to follow:
1. Preparation of cuttings: Choose healthy and vigorous cuttings about 15-20 cm long. Remove the leaves from the bottom to leave only a few leaves at the top.
2. Application of turmeric powder: Soak the lower end of each cutting in turmeric powder. Make sure to cover the cutting area with the powder to promote root formation.
3. Planting of cuttings: Fill a croppot with soil and plant the cuttings ensuring that the turmeric powder remains in contact with the substrate. Lightly slice the soil around the cuttings.
4. Watering: Water the cuttings so that the soil is moistened, but not too wet to avoid root rot.
5. Cut protection: Cover the cuttings and pot with a transparent plastic film to create a greenhouse effect. This will help maintain a high moisture level and promote root growth.
6. Maintenance: Place the pot in a bright place but in direct sunlight. Regularly check soil moisture and water as needed. After a few weeks, the roots should begin to form.
By following these steps and using turmeric powder, you can efficiently spread a lemon tree from cuttings. Once the roots are well developed, you can transfer the young plants to individual pots to allow them to grow and grow.
