Cut the shoots just below the nodes. Cutting must contain 2 to 4 leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Use rooting medium like <strong>IBA (Indole butyric acid) powder<\/strong> to induce roots in cuttings. Use 5 to 6 inches diameter containers to develop seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Prepare potting mix with <strong>60% loamy soil+ 30% sand + 10% coco peat. <\/strong>Put Potting mix into the containers and water the pot heavily before transplanting cuttings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Now wash cuttings in low concentrate <strong>broad-spectrum fungicide<\/strong> or by freshwater. Dip cuttings in rooting medium and transplant it in the potting medium by making a hole with the help of pencil tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Place 3 to 5 cuttings in potting medium and covered it with transplant polythene and put it under the semi-shade area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Apply water to the soil medium regularly as needed to keep it moist but not soaking wet.
