Choose the Right Branch
✅ Select a healthy, mature branch (about 1 cm to 2 cm thick).
✅ It should be semi-hardwood (not too young or too old).
✅ Ensure the branch gets good sunlight for faster root growth.
2. Make the Cut
✅ Remove a 2-3 cm ring of bark about 12-18 inches from the tip of the branch.
✅ Scrape off the soft layer (cambium) to prevent healing.
✅ Let the cut dry for 10-15 minutes before applying rooting hormone.
3. Apply Rooting Hormone
✅ Use rooting powder or honey on the exposed area to speed up root formation.
✅ This encourages faster and stronger root growth.
4. Wrap with Moist Medium
✅ Use moist sphagnum moss, cocopeat, or garden soil to cover the cut area.
✅ Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or a polythene bag to keep moisture in.
✅ Secure both ends with string or tape to hold it in place.
5. Keep it Moist & Monitor Growth
✅ Check after 3-6 weeks – roots should start forming.
✅ If the medium dries out, open and mist with water to keep it damp.
6. Cut & Transplant
✅ Once the roots are 1-2 inches long, cut the branch below the root ball.
✅ Plant it in a pot with well-draining soil and keep in partial shade for a few weeks.
✅ Water regularly but avoid overwatering.
