Hello friends, today I will show you how to propagate cha-om branches. I have been growing cha-om for many years. Now I have free space in my garden, so I plan to expand the cha-om plot. Because it is an easy-to-sell vegetable And I will not spray pesticides. Originally, I bought about 100 branches online. And I planted some around the house. And took some to plant in the garden. To save money, I intend to propagate the branches myself.
Then I bought scissors to use to cut off the bark that covers the wood. And I bought a plastic tool for putting soil and putting it together with the prepared branches. If it was the old method, it would use coconut husks and soil to wrap. But now there are developed tools and equipment that can be ordered online. And can be used easily and conveniently for propagation.
I intend to propagate another 100 branches to plant in some free space. And arrange the zoning to make it look beautiful. Because cha-om is a plant that can be planted once and harvested throughout its life. It can be cooked in many dishes, such as cha-om fried eggs eaten with chili paste or sour curry with cha-om eggs and shrimp or snakehead fish, which are popular menus for Thais.
Thank you to all my friends who have supported me.
You're working very hard to propagate your cha-om branches. It's nice that you want to keep it organic by not using pesticides. I am not familiar with this plant though and it seems uncommon in our dishes here. Taking care of plants can be challenging but after getting a good harvest, the reward is truly invaluable.
This is Thai Food made from cha-om.
Wow, they look appetizing! Hope someday I can try dishes with cha-om.
Thank you so much for the pictures. 😊
