Описание: How to grow Guava Tree Grafting Technique ! How To Grow Guava Tree Cutting 100% Success Unique Technique!
To grow guava trees, use grafting (joining a desirable scion to a rootstock) or cuttings, often with techniques like air layering or applying rooting hormones (like onion juice) to cuttings for success, ensuring warmth, humidity, and proper moisture for root development, ideally during spring or summer. Grafting offers desired fruit traits, while cuttings provide easier propagation, both requiring sterile tools, good light/shade balance, and consistent moisture for strong root systems.
Grafting Techniques (For Desired Varieties)
Select & Prepare: Choose a healthy rootstock and a scion (desired branch) from a good variety.
Whip and Tongue (Common Method):
Cut the rootstock and scion ends at a 45-degree angle.
Make a 1-1.5 inch vertical cut (like a tongue) in the center of each angled cut.
Fit the scion into the rootstock, aligning the cambium layers.
Secure tightly with grafting tape.
Cleft Graft: Make a cleft (split) in the rootstock and insert a wedge-shaped scion, sealing well.
Seal: Apply grafting wax or sealant to prevent drying.

Cutting & Air Layering Methods (For Rooting Cuttings)
Select Cuttings: Take healthy, semi-hardwood branches (4-6 inches long) with a few nodes.
Apply Hormone: Dip the cut end in rooting hormone or natural options like onion juice to encourage roots.
Planting Cuttings:
Use a well-draining potting mix.
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Place in a warm, humid, shaded spot (75-85°F/24-29°C ideal).
Cover with a plastic bag to boost humidity.
Air Layering (For Branch Propagation):
Make a ring cut (1-2 inches) on a branch, remove the green layer, and apply rooting hormone/onion juice.
Wrap the area in moist sphagnum moss or soil, then cover with black plastic to block light and retain moisture.
