The famous greasy plant "Aloe Vera"

We didn't leave empty-handed

Transplant of Laurier (Nerium oleander)

After cutting the plants, we transplanted them into a big plant tray in order for them to develop roots and grow. We can see the girl (Nelli), dipping a branch in growing hormones to help their growth.

Planting the cuted oleanders.

In this picture we can see the young girls named Alahna and Nelli planting the cuted oleanders that you can see be cuted in the document "The cuttings". They are planted in termite susbtrate, this operation is called "transplant".

The cuttings

On this picture you can see me (the blond guy) and my friend Nicolas (with his beautiful yellow shoes) doing cuttings of oleanders. We were cutting the branches and the leaves in a very specific way by respecting a certain cutting lenght and cutting all the leaves of the branch except the three at the top. Also, as you can see, we were using gloves because the sap of this plant is very poisonous. After that we gathered all the cuted oleanders and planted them in a termite box, you can go see the document "Planting the cuted oleanders" for the rest.
