Avocado Cuttings Trial 2.

Did a second trial for the Avocado cuttings.

This batch was bigger and more. I didn't pay to much attention on cutting selection as it's of no cost to me, but I do discard those that I feel that do not stand a chance, like section where there are no buds or new growth especially tip.

Started to use the rooting hormone liquid from Thailand, unfortunately has used up and have to use back the local available powder type. Should had bought more in Thailand.

I started off just sealing the top. I then apply more liberally on the tree dressing to seal up more of the cutting especially the side.

The other thing that I did was to increase the density.

 While I'm at it, I tried some mango cuttings too. Shall check back on these middle of May. I was figuring if this works, then I may have an alternative to propagate more planting materials.

My Turkish Fig In Sabah.

My Fig arrived in Sabah. Had to temporary store them first as I couldn't pot them yet. Also some are not ready (I think). I brought them over in a tupperware and left them in it.

Three of the Istanbul had rooted/ shows big calluses. Decided to pot these first.

An Acropolis and anther Istanbul rooted.

Potted them into poly bags.

Another 2 Acropolis had rooted. As per my discussion with my Fig friends, these Turkish fig is fast & easy rooter, thank you. Still have 6 in the tupperware, shall wait a couple of days more.

 Some of the leafs are starting to grow, light green.
The weather is getting hotter & dryer. It had now rained since I arrived, just drizzle for a couple of minutes. Luckily we had repaired the water supply (gravity feed) s I can water all the plants adequately.
My hygrometer shows temperature & relative humidity as low as 23.3 celcuis & 33%, and a high of 35.1 celcuis & 84%. The low relative humidity is too low. Tried individually wrapped each of the stubborn non-rooter with rooting hormone. Got a air pump, bubble through water to create a higher humidity. Managed to increase the room humidity of about 54% to 68%  in the bin (humidity chamber". Gonna leave them for a week, then check again. Till then.
