How to use Nagami citrus cuttings using a natural root stimulant

 The cultivation of the nagami citrus plant begins with preparing the seeds of the plant.  Nagami citrus seeding or propagation can be done generatively (from the seeds) and vegetative seeding (cuttings, grafting, grafting and so on).

 One of the seedlings / propagation of lime plants vegetatively is cuttings or stem cuttings.  Stem cuttings are a method of plant propagation by planting pieces of the parent plant's stem so that it will grow into a new plant.

 This cutting method was chosen because it is quite easy to do and more economical in using the scion from the mother plant.  In addition, the advantage of cuttings is that the new plants will have the same properties as the parent's and will bear fruit faster than if planted from seeds.

 And to support the success of doing stem cuttings, stimulants for root growth are needed, be it synthetic root stimulants or natural stimulants.

 However, in this article, we will review how to use Nagami citrus cuttings using natural root stimulants, here is the full review.

 * PREPARE TOOLS AND MATERIALS

 - Healthy nagami branches or branches, protected from pests and diseases and also a plant that has good productivity with medium-aged branches, namely not too young and not too old.

 - Natural root growth stimulant in the form of aloe vera.

 - Media for planting cuttings in the form of humus or top soil, husk charcoal and cocopeat.

 - A container for planting media in the form of a transparent plastic cup or cup so that root development can be monitored.

 * PREPARATION OF CUTTING STEMS

 Cut the end of the stems / branches of the nagami lime to be cuttings to a length of approximately 20-30 cm, leaving the leaves there and do not need to be trimmed.

 Slice tapered at the base of the cuttings, to make it easier to stick them in the aloe vera and facilitate the growth of roots later.

 Prepare the natural root stimulant for aloe vera, cut 2 cm and stick the cuttings into the aloe vera pieces.

 * MEDIA PLANTING CUTTINGS

 The cutting media used were humus soil, husk charcoal and cocopeat with a ratio of 1: 1: 1, mix by stirring until evenly distributed.  Enter the planting medium into the prepared container, which is a transparent plastic cup or other similar container.

 PLANTING CUTTING STEMS

 Plug / plant the cuttings in the media with the aloe vera that is still stuck in it, lightly compress it so that the cuttings are firmly planted and don't shake, then flush the media using enough water until the media is just moist, not soaked.  The cover uses transparent plastic, tie the plastic cover so it doesn't come off easily.  During the closure there is no need to water it.

 Place it in the shade, not exposed to direct sunlight and rain.

 After the cuttings are approximately 3-4 weeks old, usually shoots and roots have begun to grow, the roots will be visible if the tapping container uses an used glass of mineral water or a transparent container.  And after growing the plastic roots the lid can be opened.

 Thus a review of How Nagami Citrus Cuttings Use Natural Root Stimulants, I hope this article can add insight and be useful for you.
