**3. Planting**

Before planting, cuttings are brought into contact with a rooting hormone. Single node cuttings are either planted individually in a pot to produce more mother plants, or they are planted together in a well-drained rooting substrate made of 1 mm of sand. The latter cuttings are planted in the soil. The plants will be transported to the field in the next phase. Cuttings should be put deeply in the soil, so the node and stem are covered with sand.
