AIRLAYER FOR PAPAYA

 It had been a long time since I did the airlayer of my papaya tree. This morning I tried again.

1. Choose a good brunch to cut and airlayer.

Steady the brunch with some string. This is to aid the plant to withstand wind.

2. Cut about 50% of the brunch, put a separating wood and some rooting compound. Separating wood prevents the healing of the brunch.

Cut about 50%

put a wooden separator

3. Install a plastic container

4. Put some soil or other planting material

put soil and water it.

5. Then water it and mark the date . Expected to root in 4 weeks.

6. Today 2 July 2021. There was a good sign, the roots start to appear. I have to wait, 2 more weeks to see that the number of roots should increase. If it does not increase, I may have to continue to plant it. Roots do not last forever. They will start to die off.

roots appear, but they tried to come out tru the holes

MY RED PAPAYA

 As part of my consolidation exercise, I am going to reduce the number of blogs.

This posting "RED PAPAYA" is transferred and translatedfrom my Malay  Blog  Dusunkota. It will be deleting the blog.

On 2019 Mac, I bought some papaya seeds from Lazada. I was surprise to receive about 100 seeds for the price that I had paid. I planted  for 3 trees, normally I double the seeds and  discard the extra.

When it fruited, it was a regret because the fruits were small.

From my other blog..

Pada bulan Mac 2019, saya membeli biji betik dari L, dan apabila post sampai, saya terkejut kerana mendapat benih yang banyak, hampir 100 biji. Saya cuma boleh bertanam 3 pokok, kerana kawasan rumah kecil.

Benih baru di semai, kita tungga bila dia berbuah..
