Ultra-fast propagation of the cutting-rooted custard apple
The propagation of the custard apple by cuttings is an effective method to obtain new plants quickly and easily. Here are some steps to follow to succeed in this ultra-fast propagation:
Materials required:
- Custard apple buds
- Croppot
- Quality substrate
- Hormone cuttings
- Water sprayer
Steps of propagation:
- Preparation of cuttings: Choose healthy and vigorous cuttings of the Custard apple. Cut the cuttings with a sharp tool, making sure they are about 10-15 cm long.
- Treatment of cuttings: Apply cutting hormone to the bottom of cuttings to encourage rooting.
- Planting cuttings: Fill the growing pot with quality substrate and plant the cuttings by ensuring that they are 2 to 3 cm deep into the substrate.
- Watering: Spray water on cuttings to ensure constant moisture of the substrate. Place the pot in a bright place but in direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: Keep the substrate moist and monitor root appearance. After a few weeks, the cuttings should start to emit roots.
- Piping: Once the cuttings have developed a good root system, you can replant them in individual pots to promote their growth.
- Subsequent care: Continue to water the plants regularly and ensure that they are exposed to adequate light to promote their development.
By following these propagation steps, you can quickly get new custard apple plants from cuttings. Don’t forget to choose your cuttings and provide them with the optimal growth conditions to ensure their success.
