Multiply orange from cuttings with tomatoes!
Are you dreaming of multiplying your orange and adding a touch of greenery to your garden? Did you know you can do it from cuttings with tomatoes? In this article, we will explain step by step how to achieve this method of ecological and economic multiplication.
Materials required:
- A healthy adult orange tree
- Mature tomatoes
- Clean and disinfected secator
- Adapted soil
- Individual pots
- Water
Steps to follow:
1. Prepare cuttings:
Start by taking cuttings about 15 cm long on the branches of your orange tree. Use a clean, disinfected secator to avoid the risk of disease. Then cut the tomatoes into slices and lightly rub the ends of the cuttings with the tomato pulp. This step will promote root formation.
2. Planting of cuttings:
Fill the individual pots with previously humidified soil. Gently melt the cuttings into the soil, ensuring that they are well stable. Water slightly to maintain constant humidity without soaking the soil.
3. Maintenance of cuttings:
Place the pots in a bright place but away from the direct sun. Make sure to maintain a humid atmosphere by covering the pots of a transparent plastic film. It is recommended that cuttings be ventilated daily to avoid moulding.
4. Expectation and observation:
After a few weeks, you can observe the formation of roots on cuttings. Once these are well developed, you can transplant your young plants into larger pots or directly into your garden.
5. Seedling care:
Be sure to water your young plants regularly and protect them from strong winds. Gradually, get them used to more intense brightness to promote their growth. You can soon enjoy new orange trees in your garden thanks to this eco-friendly and fun method!
By following these simple steps, you can multiply your orange from cuttings with tomatoes in an efficient and economical way. Feel free to experiment with this original method and share your success with your family and friends gardeners!
