How to propagate dragon fruit plant from cuttings



Dragon fruit is a delicious fruit, also commonly known as strawberry pear and night-blooming cereus. In this video I am showing you "How to propagate dragon fruit plant from cuttings"

Propagation Technique :

1) Cut segments of dragon fruit stem 6 to 8 inches long off of year-old stem sections on the mother dragon fruit plant using a sharp, clean knife. Make the cuts slanted. Take cuttings from the desirable mother plant just after fruiting has finished and early in the morning, if possible.

2) Place the cuttings in a cool, dry area with good air circulation and out of direct sunlight for one day to cure. Space the cuttings apart so they are not in contact with each other.

3) Set the cutting in the prepared ground or container with rooting medium (mixing soil).

4) Keep into the semi shaded area.

Guava Grafting | How to graft a guava plant



Guava Grafting Technique:
         Grafting is practiced to take the advantage of well developed root system of the rootstock. In guava it can be done by two ways: inarching and wedge grafting.

Approach grafting/Inarching:
        I'm use approach grafting technique in this video. Inarching or approach grafting is the oldest technique employed in many guava growing areas. This methods yields very high success (85 to 95%) during rainy season.

In this method of propagation a thin slice of bark about 2.5-3 inches in length and about 1/3 inch in thickness at a height of 15-20 cm above the ground level is removed from the rootstock with sharp knife. A similar cut is made in the branch of mother plant to be used as scion.

The cut portions of both rootstock and scion are brought together and tied firmly with the help of grafting tape. After two months, stock above and scion below the union are cut gradually. Suckers sprouting from the rootstock are also removed.
