Chayote, also known as golden melon, is native to Central America and the Indian Islands. It is a delicious and nutritious fruit. After being introduced from my country, it has been loved by many florists and has been planted in a large area in the Jiangnan area of ??our country. In order to have a better understanding of the cultivation of chayote, let’s take a look at the propagation of chayote. Chayote propagation method

1. Sowing propagation

For the chayote propagation method, it is recommended to carry out sowing propagation in spring every year, and choose strong and healthy growth. And for melons without any damage, peel off the skin and take out the seeds, clean the seeds, and then soak the seeds in warm water for about 2 hours before sowing.

Choose loose, fertile, well-permeable soil for sowing, bury the treated seeds in the soil, control the ambient temperature to around 20°C, and ensure adequate moisture. . Next, you need to wait patiently for the seeds to germinate. Under normal circumstances, you can see seedlings growing in about a month.

2. Propagation by cuttings

Chayote can also be propagated by cuttings. Cut off branches that have been growing strongly on the plant and cut them to a length of 10cm. Just about. Afterwards, disinfect the branch wound to avoid wound infection, and apply rooting powder on the bottom of the branch, which will help the branch take root.

Next, insert the treated branches into suitable soil. Next, control the light and temperature of the environment and ensure appropriate moisture. The branches will take root in about a week. . After the branches take root, the lighting conditions can be appropriately increased to promote the growth of the branches.

3. Whole melon propagation

In addition, chayote can also be propagated as a whole melon. Choose healthy and undamaged chayote for propagation. It is placed in moist sandy soil for germination. During this period, the temperature and humidity of the environment must be controlled. The top of the chayote will germinate in about ten days. After that, we can transplant the melons or raise seedlings.
