Propagating Vines for a Healthy Start! 🌱🌿

We’re getting our vines (Ngaingai, Bilolo, Matembele) ready for transplanting into the main beds in a few weeks! To ensure strong growth, we’re first developing their roots using cuttings.

🔹 How We Do It:

✨ Select healthy vine cuttings with at least 3-4 nodes.

✨ Place them in water or moist soil to encourage root development.

✨ Keep them in a warm, shaded area with indirect sunlight.

✨ Maintain moisture but avoid waterlogging.

✨ After 2-3 weeks, check for well-developed roots before transplanting.

Why do this? Stronger roots mean faster establishment, better drought resistance, and healthier vines! 🍃💚
