It should come as no surprise to hear stories that an ordinary banana can help cuttings take root.
According to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , banana pulp contains natural growth stimulants. They are what promote the rooting of plants.
Therefore, if you are thinking about how to increase the percentage of root germination in cuttings, try the banana method.
Prepare the cuttings as usual, but make a cut lengthwise along the bottom.
Using the same pruning shears, trim this part down to the cambium.
Once this step is done, place the cuttings in banana pulp and leave them there for 2 hours.
The only thing left to do is fill the pot with fertile soil and transplant the cuttings there. The pulp remaining on the cambium will protect the cuttings from drying out at first.
All that remains is to water the cuttings and cover them with a dome, which can be easily made from a bottle.
