Storyboard Text
- Lia is a experienced argiculturist, one day, she saw a new farmer who just started, they're asking for your advice on how they can propagate their fruit-bearing plants and trees..
- What will she do..?
- A new famer..? I should talk to them! Maybe they need help.
- Sure thing! I can help and give you a advice, I suggest trying the Grafting Method, it's really helpful.
- Greetings! I'm Lia, you seem to be new, need any help?
- Hi there, I appreciate your help! I'm Joanna, I need a advice on plant propagation for my tomatoes and eggplants
- Really? But how does that work?
- First, make a four 3-inch vertical incisions through the rootstock's bark, starting at the top. Slip a small rubber band stopping just below these vertical cuts. Then, separate the bark from the wood. Peel the bark down in four 3-inch-long flaps.
- Prepare the scion by trimming 1/2 inch off the bottom to show fresh, green wood. Slice a shallow, 2-inch cut into the wood at the bottom end of the scion. Then, place the cut end of the scion inside the four flaps, after that, secure the graft.
- Then, protect the graft by wrapping it with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, then a piece of plastic. And lastly, tape the plastic around the graft using a masking tape , new buds should appear within 15-30 days.
