Aside from growing morning glory from seeds, you can also propagate it by cuttings for a faster harvest. With summer approaching, all you need to do is go to the market, pick a bundle of morning glory with fresh stems, and start growing it with the simple method suggested below.
Choose fresh stems.
Growing morning glory from cuttings has many advantages. You can choose your preferred variety, a type of vegetable that suits your family’s taste. Moreover, growing morning glory from cuttings yields a faster harvest, helping you save time in nurturing.
To select morning glory cuttings for propagation, you should choose fresh stems that are neither too old nor too young. After buying, trim the ends and keep the stem with the lower part intact.
The soil for growing morning glory requires plenty of fertilizers, loamy soil, coconut fiber, husk, and ash to sprinkle on top after planting.
Place the morning glory in a sunny location.
Water regularly.
Instructions:
You need to plant the cutting into the ground with the root part deep in the soil, about 5cm. The above part should be around 10-20cm long. After planting, water the soil thoroughly. When the plant begins to wither, you should place it in a sunny position.
To keep the plant fresh and encourage quick sprouting, you should water with diluted urine and rice washing water, which provide additional nutrients and promote faster root growth.
Morning glory stays green and healthy thanks to urine and rice washing water.
Morning glory is a sun-loving plant, so you should place the pot in a sunny spot for fast growth and to prevent pests and diseases. To harvest quickly, you should water the plant in the morning and afternoon. Note that morning glory requires more water than other vegetables to keep it green and fresh.
Harvest at the right time.
Growing morning glory allows for multiple harvests. When the plant reaches the harvest time, with fresh and young shoots, it’s best to harvest to avoid the plant becoming old and the stems becoming hollow quickly. When picking, cut close to the root to stimulate new growth.
