Answer:
Step 1. Prepare the materials that you need. These include transparent plastic sheet, nylon cord, small shovel, soil, cutter or knife and of course the tree. Choose tree that you want to marcot. For this purpose, I chose calamansi or Philippine Lemon in a pot as a subject of this tutorial. A transparent plastic sheet is preferably for you to see the roots being developed.
Step 2.Girdling and scraping. Select the branch where you want to make a marcot. Usually a branch with a size of a pencil is chosen for this procedure, but that is not necessary at all times. It varies from the kind of tree. Make a two cut or girdle on the bark of the tree about 3-5 inches apart using a knife or cutter. Move the knife in a circular motion around the stem. Remove the strip of bark from the tree. Carefully scrape the stem to remove the slippery coating to prevent the wound from healing and reconnecting. This step is critical. Because if you do not remove the slippery coating, the wound will heal and a new bark will appear and the roots will not appear and grow.
Step 3.Put and coat the wet soil around the debarked stem by pressing it using your palm and fingers. You can use gloves if you don’t want your hands to become dirty.
Step 4.Tightly wrap around the soil with transparent plastic sheet.
Step 5.Tie the plastic. Tie first the lower portion of the plastic to avoid the soil from escaping. Then tie the upper portion of the plastic
