Immediately, we begin the method of planting with a graft technique

• Choose branches that are not too young and not too old to graft.

• Peel the skin around the branch 12 cm long to look wood. Leave for a day so the mucus in the wood is gone.

• After the wood parts are dry, cover with a mixture of soil and compost mixture, the ratio of 1: 1, wrap with coconut fiber or plastic.

• After 3-4 weeks of grafting, roots will grow. After the roots have grown a lot on the graft, cut the branches in the lower part of the graft.

• Plant on media that has been given soil.

• After passing 2-3 months in the basket, move the plants.

Following are the planting steps:

• Make a planting hole with a size of 40x40x40 cm and a distance of 4x4 m.

• Two weeks before planting, the manure is about 1-2 blek or about 20 kg.

• Seedlings are planted in the middle, discard the wrapper / basket.

• Then back up using a mixture of soil and manure until it is full to the surface

Fertilization process:

• As a basic fertilizer, 20 kg of manure can be used.

• Manure and 600-750 gr NPK in plants that are 1 year old. NPK can be given 4-5 times with every time giving 150 grams.

Pruning of shoots - water shoots, some tertiary branches that grow down and some dry branches.
Weeding can be done together with fertilization.
