Propagation methods of mangosteen

Mangosteen, also known as Mangji persimmon, mangosteen, etc., is a small tree of the genus Magnoliaceae, native to Maluku, and widely cultivated in tropical Asia and Africa. Propagation methods include cutting, grafting, striping, split, etc., which can be transplanted in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of mangosteen.

Cuttage propagation

Cut the mangosteen, stem, leaf into the seedbed, so that it grows into a complete plant, this way is called cutting propagation, used as cutting materials (roots, stems, leaves) are called cuttings.

Grafting propagation

Grafting is to attach the buds or branches of one mangosteen to another plant, so that the two parts grow into a complete plant, the buds or branches and leaves grafted are called scions, and the plants to be grafted are called rootstocks.

Striping propagation

The method of pressing the branches of the mother plant of mangosteen into the soil and taking certain methods to make it take root, so as to get a new plant is called striping. The mangosteen strip pressing method is easy to operate, does not need special management after pressing, and has a high survival rate, so it is a commonly used propagation method.

Ramet propagation

Ramet propagation is a method of dividing the tillering buds, corms, rhizomes and stolons of mangosteen plants from the mother plant and planting them into independent new plants, which can be divided into two methods: full method and half method.
