How to Propagate Cocoa

How to Propagate Cocoa

• Cocoa is propagated both by seed and by cuttings.
• Seeds are planted at stake where 3 seeds are planted per hole and later thinned to one.
• Germination often is complete within 15 days of seed planting.
• Alternatively, cuttings can be obtained from young vigorous healthy trees in the mother garden. These should be cut at a right angle usually above anode 5-12 inch along with 3-9 leaves.
• Remove the bottom leaves and dip the base in a rooting hormone.
