Just a suggestion but I find that making a few cuts down the length of the trunk one inch from the bottom gives me better results. 3 or 4 verticals slices with a razor will do, not too deep. Just enough to go into the cambium layer.
hey real life frutopia i have just realised that all oscmotte products contain chemical slow release fertalizers aparently that can harm your soil and contain micro plastics im very disapointed as it says osmotte plus organics on the soil bag :( i hope all my tree arent destroyed and i hope the stuff that is already in the ground doesnt dstroy my living soil i worked on. if you have any to=ips please let me know thansk
@@RealLifeFruitopia its in most of my potted plants should i repot them all and what should i do with the old soil? or will it not make too much damage on my soil?
I'll be very interesting to see how these go, I only took a guava cutting once and needless to say it didnt root. It appeals to me that you've taken them very 'casually', you don't seem to have trimmed them at the base exactly below a leaf node and you haven't removed any bark at the base of the cuttings, this looks like the traditional way of taking cuttings....
Thank you sharing propagation techniques, please show us how to do air-layering with fruit trees. I tired in Melbourne but doesn't work. Please teach us. 🙏🙏🙏
For my needs, air layering isn't required as I find cuttings are quicker and easier. If I was a business then I could air layer larger branches for higher returns. Some day I might try it just for fun.
@@RealLifeFruitopia if no corona restrictions i would have loved to get one of your pink guava cuttings. I have put my pink guava to ground a week ago.

Just wondering how did propagation went?
Guava cuttings dried out, better luck next time.

Thanks. I will try that.

If you have any aloe Vera just shove the sticks down through a leaf as a rooting hormone and anti fungal. Good tips and tricks👍
I have aloe vera growing. Another good tip. Thanks.

When you have dozens of cuttings it doesn't matter if half fail. They were all destined for composting.
Very nice
Thanks
I did the same for my avocado tree and the thickest ones have survived over the skinny ones.
Good luck to your grafted guava sticks

@@RealLifeFruitopia please try air layering and video it. You are best and you make it very practical for common people 🙏🙏🙏
@@SunnySunny-ce7ik Maybe
My. Guava. Cutting. Not. Success
Keep trying
Climent. Or. Soil. Problem
I tried air layeriing during mid july hoping by spring it could produce root but failed. But you have a lot to try and very nice cuttings
In our temperate climate, air layering is best done after the end of winter. I do cuttings for fun and for getting plants out to the community.

@@Tropicals-Melbourne I hope to get some to take before potting them up.
@@RealLifeFruitopia I wouldn't mind getting a cutting off Kafir Lime. 😃
