There's a trick to propagating pomegranate trees from cuttings: dip it in this and it roots in 15 days

Recently at work, Huahua often sees elderly men and women selling pomegranates at markets and on the roadside. Huahua thinks the pomegranates must be in season and it's time to eat them.

I wonder if everyone likes eating pomegranates. Pomegranates are sweet and tart and really delicious, just a bit of a hassle, with quite a lot of seeds... but that can't be a reason to stop us from eating pomegranates! When something is tasty, who cares about the seeds! Just spit out a few more!

Autumn is not only the season when pomegranates bear fruit, it is actually also the season for taking pomegranate cuttings. So today Huahua will tell everyone how pomegranates are actually propagated from cuttings and what methods you need to master. That way everyone can also grow pomegranates at home!

Choose relatively sturdy branches from the pomegranate tree to use as cuttings. As long as the pomegranate branch looks fairly thick, that's fine; there is no strict requirement, generally about 1 cm thick is enough. This kind of sturdy branch roots more easily, and the survival rate is also very high.

We trim the leaves on the cutting, keeping mature and healthy leaves, removing the tender young leaves, keeping the thorns, and cutting off the growing tips. Cut the cutting into several segments, roughly 15-20 cm long. The cut at the upper end of the branch can be trimmed flat, while the lower end should be cut at an angle with scissors. After cutting, you can soak the cutting in a rooting powder solution; just soak the base for about two hours.

After soaking in rooting powder, it also needs to be soaked in clean water for two days, changing the water once a day. This practice allows the rooting powder to work better and helps the pomegranate branch root more quickly. In addition, before propagating, dipping the branch in a little honey will be even more helpful for the pomegranate branch to root!

If you are propagating a pomegranate as a potted plant at home, find a suitably sized flower pot and add some sandy soil. The soil should be fertile and well aerated. If conditions allow, you can also apply some base fertilizer; ordinary farmyard manure will do. Then you can plant the cutting.

After planting the cutting, the next stage is waiting for the branch to root. During this stage, it is best not to put the pomegranate branch under direct blazing sun. It is best to keep it in a cool place with scattered light for a period of time, and be careful that there is absolutely no waterlogging. If it gets rained on and water accumulates, that would be bad!

Grown this way, it can root in about 15 days. After the branch roots and sprouts, when the shoots slowly grow to 3 or 4 cm, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer to the pomegranate. Nitrogen fertilizer will help the pomegranate grow.

The above is the method for propagating pomegranates from cuttings. If everyone wants to grow a potted pomegranate at home, this method will work. If you want a large pomegranate tree, it will take more effort! I hope everyone can grow pomegranates at home and eat the fruit without going out!
