Usually, the inclined planting method is used for this purpose.

For seedlings, instead of holes, prepare a trench about 10 cm deep and place the stem in it to 2/3 of its total length.

First, remove the leaves, then sprinkle with soil, and tie the top of the seedlings to a support.

But the seedlings should not be overgrown and have abundant green mass.

The second method

In this case, the rooting of the stepsons occurs.

The seedlings are planted in the same way as described in the first method.

Then they wait until the first two stepsons that appear grow up enough to be laid down and buried 2/3 of the length next to the bush.

First, remove the leaves from the part of the stem that will be buried.

As a result, you get three from one bush.

But for this method you need to use tall, indeterminate or semi-determinate varieties and hybrids.
