1 year growth of potted feijoas
« on: March 10, 2021, 03:35:54 PM »
I am hardening them off now. It's still technically winter in 7a but day temps are above 50s and 60s. Bringing them inside at night.

March 2020




March 2021 from those 2 original plants I now have 6 rooted cuttings to experiment planted in ground around the house.

How did you root them? I have been trying to root my Mammoth feijoa cutting, but so far nothing work.

Yes, I would be interested in how you did it also.

Take the cuttings from the bottom of the plant nearest to the base of the trunk. They will be small and still green/soft wood.  I didn't remove leaves except if I needed to expose a little more of the cutting at the bottom for rooting powder. Stick them in lightly moistened cococoir. Put a cover/dome over them and leave them in indirect light for 1-2 months. I rooted mine in the shade under a plastic dome outside and another batch under LEDs under the dome inside. They will root!

Roots after about 1 1/2 months, notice the size of the cuttings in the white tray
