Blog
Professional reflections, crop advisories, field notes, and research updates on horticulture in Bhutan.
Dragon fruit can be effectively propagated vegetatively from stem cuttings, offering a rapid and reliable method for orchard establishment. This post shares practical observations from propagation work at ARDC Wengkhar, including cutting selection, rooting media, and early establishment management.
Plant selection is the foundation of a successful and sustainable landscape. In Bhutan's warm subtropical districts, choosing species adapted to local temperature ranges, rainfall patterns, and soil conditions is critical for long-term landscape health.
A well-managed nursery is the backbone of any successful horticulture programme. Quality planting material — whether for orchards, vegetable production, or landscaping — must be healthy, true-to-type, and well-hardened before field transplanting.
The above posts are sample placeholders to demonstrate layout only. They will be replaced with original published content as the blog develops.
