If you cut the branches of a pomegranate once, it will take root in 15 days and you will have more fruits than you can eat when it grows up.

I don’t know if you like to eat pomegranates. Pomegranates are sour and sweet and delicious, but they are a bit troublesome because they have a lot of seeds... But this can’t be a reason to stop us from eating pomegranates! As long as there is delicious food, what’s the big deal about the seeds! Just spit more!

In addition to being the season for pomegranates to bear fruit, autumn is also the season for pomegranate tree cuttings. Today, Huahua will talk to you about how pomegranates are propagated by cuttings and what methods need to be mastered. Let everyone grow pomegranates at home!

Choose the healthier branches on the pomegranate tree as cuttings. As long as the pomegranate branches look thick, it will be fine. There are no specific requirements. Generally, they can be about one centimeter thick. These strong branches are easier to root and have a very high survival rate.

We trim the leaves on the cuttings, leaving mature and healthy leaves, removing the tender leaves, leaving the thorns, and cutting off the trailing parts. Cut the cuttings into several sections, about 15-20 cm. Just cut the upper end of the branch evenly, and cut the lower end diagonally with scissors. After cutting, you can soak the cuttings in a solution of rooting powder. You only need to soak the roots for about two hours.

After soaking in rooting powder, soak in clean water for two days, changing the water once a day. This method can make the rooting powder work better and make the pomegranate branches take root faster. In addition, if we dip the branches in a little honey before cutting, it will be more conducive to the rooting of the pomegranate branches!

If you are planting pomegranate cuttings in a pot at home, find a similar flowerpot and put some sandy soil in it. The soil should be fertile and breathable. If conditions permit, you can also apply some base fertilizer, which can be soil-based fertilizer. Then you can start cuttings.

After the cuttings are completed, it is time to wait for the branches to take root. At this stage, it is best not to expose the pomegranate branches to the sun. It is best to place them in a cool and diffused light place for a period of time. Be careful not to accumulate water. If they are exposed to water on rainy days, it will be bad!

In this way, it will take about 15 days for the plant to take root. After the branches take root and sprout, when the buds slowly grow to 3 or 4 centimeters, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer to the pomegranate. Nitrogen fertilizer will be beneficial to the growth of the pomegranate.

The above is the method of pomegranate cuttings. If you want to plant a pomegranate potted plant at home, you can use this method. If you want a large pomegranate tree, you will need to put in more effort! I hope everyone can grow pomegranates at home and eat the fruits without leaving home!
