🍐Double Your Guava Plants Using This One Technique!🌱

First, we need to select healthy, vigorous guava branches of good variety, and it should be about 1-2 years old. Using a sharp knife, make a simple vertical incision through the bark where a slit is made. The goal of water layering is to interrupt the flow of nutrients while keeping the branch hydrated, forcing it to produce roots at a specific point. Water layering is a specialized vegetative propagation technique used to create a new independent plant while the stem is still attached to the parent. Now take a cactus. Add cactus gel to the cut part of the plant. The liquid inside the cactus is rich in enzymes and trace minerals that help keep the plant hydrated. Now take a 250 ml plastic cup and place the cup inside the slit. These cups serve as a temporary rooting chamber or package in the water layering process. Place the cup in the area where a small vertical strip of bark and cambium has been removed. Now tie it tightly with a zip tie. Since these cups are temporary chambers for the roots, if the cups move for any reason, the roots can be damaged, so tie them as tightly as possible with zip ties so that the cups cannot move. If you use clear plastic wrap or a clear bottle, you can visually monitor the progress. When you see a dense white root ball, you know it's ready to be cut and planted. Now pour turmeric powder into a cup and fill the cup completely with water. Turmeric is famous for its antiseptic and antifungal properties. When a fresh cut is made, the wound becomes an entry point for pathogens. Immersing the cut in a turmeric solution seals the wound and protects it from rot and fungal infections. Then fill the other cup completely with plain water. Plain water helps keep plants hydrated. Then cover it completely with polythene or aluminum foil paper. Polythene can block light, which can be beneficial for root development. Roots typically grow in darkness. This will help maintain humidity and promote root formation. And tie it with zip tie. Leave the bottom open so that you can re-water later when the water dries out. After 50 days, I will see how successful my experiment has been, which water is best for water layering. When I open it, the results show that plain water gives better result than turmeric water. We must be careful when removing the plastic cup, so that the roots do not break, because the new roots are very soft. Perform the separation and potting in the early morning or on a cool, cloudy day to minimize stress from heat and sun. Once the roots are well developed, carefully separate the branch from the mother plant. I have many more videos about fruit trees that you can watch from the channel playlist. Now I will plant this tree in a pot. If you want, you can plant directly into the ground. Make sure the roots are completely covered with soil when planting. For the next few weeks, keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid being soggy. New roots are highly sensitive to drying out, but also prone to rot if overwatered. Then water the new plant thoroughly. Place the potted plant in a bright location with indirect sunlight.
