Clone ANY Tree From Cuttings 99 Success Method

Incredible. Check this out. Seriously, pay close attention because what you're seeing here could completely change the way you do cuttings. If you're here right now, chances are you've already tried it before. You cut a stem, plant it, wait, and nothing happens. And when it does work, it's usually with easy plants. But what you're seeing here doesn't fall into that category. We're talking about fruit trees, mango and apple trees. Plants that are not easy to root at all, and yet here they are. Not because they have something special, but because the right method was used. So if you've made it this far looking for a real natural method that works for both easy and difficult plants, you're in the right place. Let's go step by step. Now let's talk about the materials. We won't need much at all. Chances are you already have everything at home. The first thing we need is a plastic bottle. It can be a water bottle, a soda bottle, or whatever you have on hand. Nothing special is required. Next, we'll need sand. It can be river sand, beach sand, silica sand, or even aquarium sand. There are lots of options, but you have to wash it really well. I'll explain how to do that later because this step is key. We'll also need a piece of cotton or a bit of clean cloth. If it's cotton, even better. We'll need water, and of course, the cuttings. In this case, one mango and one apple cutting. And now, this is optional, but highly recommended, ground cinnamon and a piece of aloe vera. They're not mandatory, but they make a big difference. Alright, now let's get the bottle ready. This step is important and you need to understand what we're doing. Take the bottle and make a hole about an inch or an inch and a quarter from the base. It doesn't have to be exact. It can be a little higher or a little lower. That hole is going to set the water level inside the system and that's what makes everything work properly. After making the hole, cut the bottle in half. You don't need to be precise. Just make sure it works. Now comes a very important detail. In the hole we made, we're going to place a small piece of cotton or fabric. This is so that water can drain out if there's too much, but the sand won't escape. It's a very simple homemade filter, but it's really important. Now let's move on to the sand. This is where a lot of people mess up. You can't just grab the sand and dump it in. You have to clean it well. Put the sand in a container, add water, stir it, and pour out the water. Repeat this process several times until the water comes out completely clear with no dust or dirt. This step is essential because if you skip it, you're very likely to end up with mold. If you want to do it even better, you can disinfect it. Add clean water and a little hydrogen peroxide, the kind you get at the pharmacy. Let it sit for a couple of hours, drain it, and let it dry in the sun on a plastic sheet. The sun will help get rid of any remaining pathogens. With this, you'll have perfect sand. Now let's set up the system. Pour the sand into the bottle, making sure the hole is covered with the cotton or fabric. The idea is to have sand above the hole and space for water below. That way we create a small reservoir. This creates a system of constant moisture. The water stays at the bottom and slowly rises up by capillary action. This way the cutting always has the perfect amount of moisture, not too dry and not waterlogged. Now let's move on to the cuttings. We'll take a mango cutting and an apple tree cutting. Remove any extra leaves and leave only what's necessary. The ideal size is about four inches, more or less. If you want to use larger cuttings, just use a bigger bottle. Now we'll use aloe vera. If you have the plant, even better. If not, you can use pure gel. Aloe vera hydrates, protects, and provides natural rooting hormones. What we do is thoroughly coat the base of the cutting with aloe. Then we apply cinnamon. Cinnamon is a very powerful natural antifungal and prevents the cutting from rotting in the first few days, which is when most of them fail. Simply apply a layer to the base. Now insert the cuttings about an inch deep. You don't need to measure exactly, but it's important that they're firm and don't move. If the cutting moves, the process can fail. Once they're in place, they're ready inside the system. Now we water them. We add water little by little until we see it start to come out of the hole. At that point, we stop. That means the system now has the right amount of water. Now we prepare a natural fungicide. In one liter of water, we add a pinch of cinnamon, mix well, strain it, and put it in a spray bottle. We lightly spray the cuttings to give them extra protection against fungi. Next, we create the microclimate. We use the top part of the bottle and place it over them like a small greenhouse. You can also use a clear plastic bag. The important thing is to keep the humidity up. Now we place the setup in a spot with indirect light, never direct sunlight, because it'll dehydrate the cutting. If you're in a cold climate, you can do this indoors near a window. Keep in mind that the ideal temperature is usually between 68 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. And if you're in a warm climate, you can do it outside just fine, but always avoid direct sunlight. Maintenance is very simple. Every two or three days, grab the spray bottle and use the natural preventative solution we've prepared. In other words, give all the cuttings a good spray, making sure they're well misted, and check that there's water at the bottom of the bottle. Then cover it up again to keep the greenhouse effect, and you don't have to do anything else at all. You don't need to add fertilizer, any weird products, or any kind of natural rooting agent. Just keep things stable, because that's really important. And here, I want to add something that a lot of people overlook, but it can make a pretty big difference if you do it right. The timing of when you take the cutting. This isn't mandatory, but it's highly recommended. If you can choose the timing, try to do this kind of propagation during the waning moon phase, and if it also lines up with a descending moon, even better. It's not magic. It's been observed that during this phase, the plant's sap tends to concentrate more in the lower part of the stem. That helps with rooting. It's not essential, but it helps. And in this kind of process, every detail matters. I also want to emphasize something important. Stability. This system works because it's stable. There are no sudden changes in humidity, no water logging, and no drought. When the plant isn't stressed, it responds better. That's why you shouldn't be constantly handling it. You check it every few days and let it do its thing. And something that happens a lot, people give up too soon. Two or three weeks go by, they don't see any results, and they think it failed. But that's not the case. This process takes time, especially with fruit trees like mango and apple. You have to respect the timing because it's around six to eight weeks when the roots start to appear. And now comes the best part, the one we've all been waiting for, which is to see if this really worked or not. And that's how, after about six to eight weeks, with consistency and patience, we start to see spectacular root development at the bottom of the bottle. And this is what tells us that we've been successful with our propagation. Check this out. Look at these beautiful roots starting to appear. Completely white, healthy, strong, eager to keep growing, and practically trying to break out of the container. This is exactly what we want to see. And now comes another important point, which is how to remove them without damaging them. Although I should tell you, it's normal for some roots to get damaged, because when the system works well, a ton of roots are produced and they get tangled up with each other. In my case, what I do is spray a stream of water directly onto the sand. The sand starts to loosen little by little, it breaks apart, and that way we can free the roots without having to pull or force them. This way we can separate the cuttings much more carefully. And now we can clearly see them, both the mango and the apple tree cuttings. And now take a good look at this. Check out how they look. Look at the callus the mango has formed. Fully developed and ready to keep growing. This is truly amazing. And the best part is, this isn't just a one-time thing. You can repeat this over and over again. Look at how simple it is to clone fruit trees almost indefinitely. Even making use of prunings you'd normally throw away and turning them into new productive plants. In other words, you're multiplying your orchard without spending any money. And that completely changes the game. Alright, the next step, once we have the cuttings fully rooted, is transplanting. It's very simple to do. We take two small pots and place each cutting in a pot with regular soil, just a universal substrate. Once they're transplanted, we give them a light watering, just enough to keep the soil moist and prevent them from drying out. Now here comes the key part, which is adaptation. These cuttings have spent their entire development in an environment with very high humidity, practically 100%. That's why we can't expose them directly to the sun, because they would dry out. What we're going to do is keep them for about 10 days in a shady area with indirect light. This way, they gradually adapt to the new ambient humidity. And once those days have passed, then yes, we can transplant them into a bigger pot or directly into the garden and expose them to the sun without any problem. And that's when we'll start enjoying our new fruit tree.
