Depending on your humidity and rainfall if you wait for the rainy season you can also just stick them straight in the ground after letting them sit in a glass of water for an hour or two to perk up. Remove only the last two or three sets of leaves on the stem. This way they get a better start as all the leaves remain intact and side branching will be easier for it, this way you don't get a skinny top cutting that is likely to wilt in the heat, even i the shade . If you want a clump do a few close together or you can also stick in a pot and put in the shade. If your's is a dry climate take the cuttings remove the same only very lower leaves then drop the entire cutting in a bucket of water. Let it soak for a few hours then stick them in a pot, water well and cover in a plastic bag, old large zip lock bags work well, or a humid green-house. These bags you can wash and recycle over and over no need to throw away. "Coleus" and a few other very easy things to root work the same. Try and always avoid taking cuttings in dry hot weather, the plants will be stressed already and so will your cuttings be. Rooting powders etc are not needed and in fact can cause rotting problems with these soft stem cuttings. If in a big hurry add a couple of teaspoons of seaweed emulsion to the soaking water this has natural rooting and growth hormones in it. Not only will your cutting root but it will start growing at the same time. Just make sure it's the right Kelp in the sea-weed extraction, not all kelp has the same properties, that from Tasmania Australia and Southern Africa is the stuff, the rest are best just for fertiliser. Watching this another little tip comes to mind, find yourself a sharp knife, lol. Sharper the better. Victorinox does very handy florists pen knives, and cutting or grafting knives (make stunning presents) simple small palm of the hand one blade pen-knives in bright lively colours that can slip safely into your pocket, even the tightest jeans, curved or straight blade up to you. The reason sharp blades are of the utmost importance is to get the cleanest cut possible, razor blade sharp in fact. This counts when you remove the lower leaves as well, quicker to root and avoids rot at the cut. Jagged, rough, bruised edges will always die back before rooting starts, rather than just sealing over with new cells as with a clean cut, this dead tissue can rot and your whole cutting could die or be set back. Scissors, secateurs etc crush before they cut, same problem with these very soft stem cuttings, though obviously extreme sharp ones will be better than nothing. If you are handy with a scalpel these also work very well just make sure it has a safety cap of sorts.
Merci pour le partage. J ai une iresine à feuilles vertes. Malheureusement elles est comme fanée et toutes ses feuilles tombent. Pourquoi et que faire ?? Merci
Mine got very top heavy, so I snipped about 4 inches off. Now they seem to have bolted with just long stems and small leaves. What went wrong? They were very compact before.
@@BirdofParadise Haha for sure!! Growing roses from seed apparently feels really rewarding! This rose has a deep crimson colour, some call it the black rose. And it's very fragrant! :)
nice! you can add some compost to it every now and then. if you don't have compost ready you can add some crushed egg shells/some coffee grounds :) good luck!
I received a cutting about 10 inches 2 weeks ago. I cut the cutting in half and removed the leaves leaving about 2 leaves on top. I cut the 2 leaves in halves. I planted directly in soil. Left in the window sill with bright indirect sunlight. Temp in the house is about 70 degrees F. The soil is moist at all times. 2 weeks later, both stalk look so droopy and slightly wrinkly, like they are going to die . There is no sign of new growth but the tiny little leaves that I didn’t remove don’t look like they’re dried up yet. Is this normal ? Does it take more than 2 weeks to see progress ?
I am attempting to grow this Bloodleaf Iresine Herbstii plant from a seed. The new shoots have green leaves, though. Is this normal for my 3 week old shoots?
So I haven't grown it from seed before, but I wouldn't be surprised if the new leaves are green. I've noticed new foliage tends to have a different hue with most plants
I would need to know more information, like which region you’re in/ if it’s in full sun. Since I don’t know too much about your plant, I would say keep it in the shade for now. Make sure it’s getting enough water, perhaps 3 times a week.
Why am I only seeing this now, this was so helpful. Thank you
So happy it helped :)
Beautiful plant good video
Thank you so much 😊 happy gardening 🪴

How much sun are they getting? Lmk the soil conditions as well..
very hepful! where do you keep the glass of water?
Thank you! I keep the glass of water in the windowsill. They need to be in a place that gets indirect sunlight. Thanks for watching :)
I planted mine directly,, it survived
Could you tell me why you cut the 2 leaves in half that were at the top of the plant? Is that something that has to be done?
It’s to help the plant focus it’s energy on the roots. It will work without doing it, but may take longer
Wow these videos are really good quality! Keep it up!
Thank you ☺️ lmk if there’s a specific plant you’d like to see
@@BirdofParadise idk if youve grown them but I'm currently stratifying Louis XIV rose seeds, so a rose video would be awesome! Either way keep it up!
I love roses! I don’t have too much experience but it would make a good project for me :) is there something special about that type of rose?
@@BirdofParadise Haha for sure!! Growing roses from seed apparently feels really rewarding! This rose has a deep crimson colour, some call it the black rose. And it's very fragrant! :)
Wow love that, how nice 👍🏻
My leaves have holes, how do I prevent that? I'm new to the plant world, can I cut the ugly leaves, will they regrow ? Help
Yes you can, just make sure you have at least 2 leaves remaining on the plant
I'm growing this little guy indoors, do you have any tips for keeping it happy?
nice! you can add some compost to it every now and then. if you don't have compost ready you can add some crushed egg shells/some coffee grounds :) good luck!
I have a blood plant that has now lost all of its leaves😢 only brown dry leaf stalks remain. Will this plant generate new leaves. Help please!
I’m assuming it didn’t survive? :( I’m sorry

I stick them in water before I put them in the ground, never in the ground as the plant goes into greater shock in my opinion. How did they fair?
A poco florea la iresine? Saludos desde mexico 🤗 gracias
Hola bienvenido a mi channel :) este planta no tiene flores no, solo hojas de rosado
@@BirdofParadisemuchas gracias me encanta esta plantita me regalaron un Esqueje Dios quiera que enraizó Bendiciones 🙏
I love this plant could you sell me some? I live in Baton Rouge La.
Hi dear, you can find it at your local nursery! Home Depot, lowes etc
whats the best time of year to do this ?
Which zone are you in? Generally in spring, summer or fall

Were your cuttings under a heat mat at a certain temp? Sunlight or in total darkness while rooting?
They were in indirect sunlight, so in the windowsill that didn’t get direct/harsh sunlight :)
My cuttings drooped really quickly. I watered the plant the day before cutting. :(
They drooped once you put them in water? Or they dropped after you planted the cuttings?
How tall does this plant get ?
I would say about a foot to a foot and a half!
Wow nice 👍 stay connected I liked and subscribed
thank you!! :)
and coleus leaves ar bending down
is the coleus in the shade?
@@BirdofParadise coleus is in shade.nd iresine is also in shade
my iresine is getting dry why
Before or after you planted it?
@@BirdofParadise i bought from nursery.but after two months now strted drying

I planted mine directly. Still survived
Beautiful
Why is it necessary to cut the leaves?
Julie Carrillo cutting the leaves allows the plant to focus more of its energy on growing its root system 👍🏻
BirdofParadise oh duh! Thanks.
Julie Carrillo sure :) thanks for watching
