🌿The Absolute Best Way to Grow Your Litchi Tree at Home!" !! ✅Air layering is a great way to propagate your lychee tree! Here's a breakdown of the process: Materials: Sharp knife or pruning shears Cocopeat 250 ml plastic glass Twine or zip tie Optional: Aloe vera gel Steps: 1 Select a healthy, young lychee branch that's about ½ inch in diameter. Ideally, it should be a branch with some leaves. Steps:2 Carefully make two parallel cuts encircling the branch, about 1-1.5 inches apart. Remove bark and exposing the cambium layer underneath. Steps:3 Apply aloe vera (optional): You can dab some aloe vera gel on the exposed area to promote root growth. Steps:4 Prepare the rooting medium: I use cocopeat, if you don't have cocopeat you can use soil. Fill the plastic glass with moistened cocopeat. Enclose the entire air layering setup with a plastic bag. This will help maintain humidity and promote root formation. Steps:5 Maintain moisture: Keep the cocopeat constantly moist add water once a week. Wait for roots In 4-6 weeks, roots should begin to develop within the cocopeat. Steps:6 Monitoring roots development. Once the roots are around 2 inches long, you can cut the branch from the parent tree. Plant the new lychee tree in a pot with well-draining soil or directly in the ground. Steps:7 Spring and early summer are considered the best times for air layering lychee trees as the plant is actively growing. 🌿⭐
