I was thinking can I be bothered to watch another video about propagation and still come away confused. So glad I did. That was a really good video, thanks.
I do quite a lot of propagating and have watched many You Tube videos for advice. I find this one to be one of the best. I like it because there is no waffling before getting on with the process and so much is included in such a short video. Everything is shown to be so straightforward that anyone could do it.
Thank you, I have just started out with cuttings and it seems like every one of the videos I watch say take a cutting and then they snip off a piece but don't show where to snip. Your node info was everything I was struggling to see in the other videos the close up of your cut did it ! Finally I can start with my cuttings. Thanks for no weird music too .
I always wondered why we trim the leaves. Some videos say to do it but don't explain why. Thanks for explaining that it causes the plant to lose moisture.
I have tons of Russian Sage and am going to try it today. I have been doing it wrong all this time! One of my favorite are the new sun-friendly coleas. In less than a week a branch is ready to plant. Le Freak took root in four days and its exotic look is great throughout the landscaping.
Really good video - no waffling and clear concise instructions. I’ve been taking cuttings for 20 years but am always ready to learn more. I have subscribed 😊
Your videos are some of the most informative on TH-cam. We took rose cuttings following your instruction and now we have more thriving than we expected or have room for. Thank you.
I've been practicing the art of gardening for 20 years, stressfully/mixed w/ tragedy early on. I'm searching TH-cam now for refreshers. By 2:10, I LOVED your video and demo. I'm in! Can't wait to see what elce is available on your channel. 👍
Your videos are extremely helpful Jason. Even for seasoned gardeners like myself, your tips and explanations are welcome. My garden is very big and cuttings are a main way of propagation, but it is always a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you.
I have just subscribed because I found that you explain the procedure extremely well,you have a nice steady pace,a lovely voice and no background noise or silly music !! Excellent,well done. All the way from Costa del Sol in Spain💃💃💃
You propagated a Russian Sage. I discovered that you can divide a Russian Sage, or a Catmint plant just like you would a hosta or day lilies. I divided my Russian Sage and one of my Catmints, passed some of the divisions to others and replanted my plants and they really grew back to maturity. I plan to do this again this year as friends and relatives have asked for them.
* Love your videos, but this one was really nice, very close up, showing precisely where to cut without having your own hands or fingers getting in the way of showing the viewers like some other TH-cam channel. So, thank very much for being kind enough to give a close up shot. You’re a humble man with a gentle voice, I wish you the best, and I am glad to have found your channel.
Thank you for explaining and demonstrating this technique so well. I have had great results producing plants from euonymous cuttings and several houseplants over this winter. The cuttings definitely take off with increasing natural light of spring.
Love your informative videos. I have done a little propagating over the years, I agree with your logic. I have found by adding a little sand, about 1/3 to my soil it seems to work better. Thank you for sharing!!
I have always had good success with tip cuttings BUT after watching your video, I think it is due to the location. I'm in wet, hot, Florida. So the moisture just happens naturally and I have to make sure they don't drown. I've got tiny tip cuttings under a grow light since they were leggy from the continually overcast sky and too wet from constant rain. Your video was informative and I'll be back to see more. Thanks!
Nice. I know that many large plant propagators do business from Florida, and I'm not saying that warm & humid is perfect for growing, it sure helps to keep cuttings from drying out before rooting.
Great video! I do a lot of propagating & still learned from you. So happy I found this video. Thanks a lot for showing a close up of what you’ve done. 12:17
Good to know that Russian sage is quick to root. The squirrels killed the few plants I had. I want to get a healthy plant and try to make an army of cuttings so that some can survive.
Ribes sanguineum is native to where I live. Possibly my favorite plant, the flowers are showy but so is the foliage. And who doesnt love all the hummingbirds it brings
I'm envious, your shears cut like scissors, mine are older, but could use a sharping. I use an old aquarium, that I've fashioned a plastic roof for, I can readily open it to dry it up in there, watering is never a problem.
Really enjoyed this. I am such a fan of Russian sage, I usually wait til it goes on clearance to pick up the castaways. This year I will be trying this out.
I took a White Buddleia cutting in July 2014. It didn't grow very well because of location and competition from other plants. I moved it in Autumn 2017 to somewhere sunnier and it grew beautifully. I have it on the top left of my channel homepage, sadly it died in May 2019 due to wood rott at the base. Luckily I had already taken a cutting from this plant in 2018 when it started to grow for me. This cutting is the one I have today and it is looking very healthy. I always keep a few Buddleia cuttings in pots just in case I lose one of my others.
easiest plant in the world to do cuttings with is tomato. I don't even freak out anymore when a tomato plant breaks, I just plop it in water and leave it alone and new roots grow. It doesn't even matter where the cut is, it'll just grow roots! It's actually absurd how easy they are, you don't even need to change the water
I've had trouble propagating snowball bush (Viburnum opuls). I followed similar methods but with hard wood during the fall season. I'll give it another shot and hopefully it works because my gardener just can't seem to follow instructions and he keeps cutting it down!
Hi Menchu 1. cut the end of the cutting at a sharp / angle, 2, make sure there is a BASE NODE close to the / sharp angled cut and at least another node further up. 3. gentle scratch off a minute TINY amount of the green /brown bark just above the BASE NODE. 4. wet the base of the cutting including the BASE NODE and the next node. then dip the first inch of the bottom base of the cutting in ROOTING MIX POWDER that encourages the plant to want to create rots. 5. Use a disposable paper mache pot (buy said papermache pot on wish.com or ebay.com or make your own at home)- fill with seed raising or cutting soil mix. 6. make a hole in the soil in the pot. 7. Insert the cutting into said pot referred to above and press soil to the cutting. 8. Have as many as 12 or 16 said cuttings each in their own paper mache pot 9. get one of those large white plastic storage containers with secure lids 10 place all your assembled pots with the cuttings into the base of the container. 1l. LIGHTLY and BRIEFLY water ONCE ONLY all the pots placed in the said large white container. then Make sure the lid is firmly on (clipped) so the lid cannot fly off in the wind 12. Place the assembled closed big white container in a sheltered position outside. Do NOT REMOVE the lid for 4 weeks. you can take a quick look if the weather is very warm but if the weather mild you can probably go 6 weeks before you need to check on them. Condensation will form on the underside of the lid - do NOT touch that - the condensation helps the plants to thrive. re the storage : I like the style of the Home Depot - Cleverstore 71 Qt. Latching Plastic Storage Container and Lid, Clear BUT only when I can buy them one at a time. Four is too many for me. If you can find a similar one that is FROSTED and NOT CLEAR - the FROSTED is better protects the cuttings and helps mute the direct sunlight. If the clips are not strong then do not buy a container with flimsy clips NOR the worse option - so avoid lids that have NO CLIPS Best wishes for successful cuttings,
My dad used to prop hydrangeas by just taking a newer outside branch from the plant, and pulling it down to the ground. Then mounding up dirt mid-branch, then putting a weight on it(brick) so it wouldn’t spring back off the ground. After a couple weeks he’d check to see if it rooted, then cut it from the main bush, and relocate.
Years back towards the end of November I spotted one lone beautiful raspberry colored hydrangea flower on a bush in an out of the way spot in a parking lot. I knew no one else was even likely to notice it, and since I found it so beautiful, I broke it off 10-12 inches down, took it home and stuck it in a glass bud vase on my mantle. It remained there until spring, and had grown a bounty of healthy roots. I took it out to my yard, dug a hole and planted it. I kept it well watered that summer, and as I live in Seattle, nature took care of that fall, winter, and spring. It grew into a big blue hydrangea bush within 2-3 years. That was 10-12 years ago and I no longer live in the house where I planted it. The woman living there now neglects the yard, but the hydrangea is huge and thriving.
I really enjoyed your explanation on the procedure of the different plant cuttings, my wife will enjoy trying to clone some of the plants that you show and demonstrate, isn’t it true that the hydrangea flower will change colors according how much acidity the fertilizer you use? This process will work for orchids, if not, could you show how to clone them? Thank you, Hector Sanchez
This was fun to watch. It was very informative too, because I’m a novice at this, but your video was encouraging, so thank you very much for posting this video. I’ve subscribed as well!
Do you take hydrangea cuttings before they bloom, after, or during. I have had zero success propegating them and would love to hear how you do it . Sounds like you've mastered it.
I have been trying my roses 🌹 under the dome method , I use a plastic water bottle and was doming them. Every single batch rotted except the one type peace tea rose that made it 100% . So I’m trying it the way you just showed with the Plastic tub this time thanks 🙏🏻
I've done marigolds in water and was successful. Currently have zinnia, which is just starting to root, lavender, rosemary and Russian sage in water waiting patiently.
This was helpful and interesting. Just wondering how to water if you can’t mist every 10 mins. And what time year or season do you do this so you can plant outside? I’ll definitely check out other videos!!
@@ginettamarinelli479 Don't forget goji berry. Cut some long stems.Remove and eat all the leaves except for the very top 6 inches. Cut it into 6 inch pieces. For the very top growth leave a few leaves. Put all of them in water. They will root in about a week or at most 10 days. Keep them inside the house. Change the water every day or two.
Thanks for this video, it's very helpful. I bought a Russian Sage a few weeks ago and I love how beautiful it looks so I was wondering how it could be propagated and this video is perfect to learn, I will try what you showed and will let you know how that turns out. By the way, what kind of soil did you use in this video? Thanks.
Thanks. I'm not sure which soil I was using at the time. Mainly is a blend of composted bark and shredded wood fiber as shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/V8Q6f0AgEB4/w-d-xo.html
Your shirt makes a handsome presentation. I pruned my roses hard to allow inner circulation. Clean your fingernails for the next go round! I'm OVERJOYED to have this go round. Eureka! I didn't know I could propagate Russian Sage! Oh! I have such a beautiful bush! Snip, Snip!!! How important is the rooting hormone? Are you using Clonex? After the end de August NO MORE pruning roses! Mike McGraph says to send your pruners overseas and don't take them back until spring.
Thanks Portia. I need to be more mindful if I dig in the garden before taking those ultra close-ups! The rooting hormone increases my odds by around 10% I estimate. On a large number of easy-to-root cuttings, I could be tempted to skip the powder. I use StimRoot because it's what's easily available trough my local supplier. You can replace with any formulation with around 0.4% IBA for semi-hardwood. Yes, i'll be doing most of my final structural pruning this month on roses. I may "cheat" a bit to get wood for late cuttings into September, but after that, my pruners will find good use in the greenhouses for overwinter cleanup of potted plants.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank God you do take those ultra close ups XOXO We gardeners could careless about junk like fingernails:-) It's just that "motherly voice i hear in the back de my tete":-) Mom OF COURSE doesn't like to garden bc she would get her fingernails dirty, lol:-) So your safe among us gardeners:-) I am looking forward to going out tomorrow and snipping my Russian Sage. I sold a teeny tiny root for $1 USD. I am trying to have a Mediterranean garden. I cover up my (3) English Lavenders parce que when get a lotta rain here in Pittsburgh, PA. I keep my (2) recycle plastic bins open to catch the rain. I have lately been watering my watermelon, Mini Love I got de Johnny's w/ (2)- (64) oz jugs of water. It was rain water when we had rain but we've hit a dry spell now. We're due to get rain midday plus Vendredi. I'm looking forward to it! Oh! Today out in the garden I did a Ti Chi move w/ the Monarchs. I explained their journey to them about how they will have to go thru the desert BUT they'll make it to Michoacan, Mexico. I feel like they understood:-) My daughter and her fiance just flew to Guatemala to work in a clinic. They are ER doctors. Oh! I got a good sound trac to listen to de one one my fish tank TH-cam buddies: Music by Dyalla Swain. Travellin' (Quick Mix) is excellent. I just charted on all my seedlings. I have planted into both Root Riot and Rockwool I love the color contrast de Dark Bruin Root Riot w/ Bright Vert Cotyledons but I don't like how it crumbles. I've been pushing root riot into (200) cell flats. Well there's ALWAYS more to say but I'll arretez ici:-)
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I have been binge watching your videos and then reading the comments. Makes me want to grow roses and everything else. I currently have two roses one that comes from my great grandmother ( so I was told) and I just recently purchased Maurice Utrillo. I hope I don’t kill it. Lol 😂 Most of your supporters are knowledgeable as well as helpful .... others well.... you have the patience of a saint with some of these comments. Amazing!
You have been so helpful, I thank you. At the appropriate time next season I want to plan. My thoughts were a nice dirt bed I had as a vegetable garden. Problem is it is in a South West sun. Is this too intense for planting Hydrangeas? And do you have a video for propagating lavender? Thanks for you time.
Hi Toni. For the hydrangeas, I'll have to trust your judgement on whether there's sufficient soil moisture. Hydrangeas can adapt to a fair amount of sun if there's enough water in the soil. Here's what I've done on lavender propagation: th-cam.com/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/w-d-xo.html
Me gustó mucho tu vídeo, aunque no hablo inglés y espero hablarlo en un futuro, tengo la oportunidad de ver tus videos y aprender más sobre la jardinería y de paso perfeccionar mi inglés
Of the few things I have successfully rooted I find figs are the easiest to root. I have never been successful with rose, however. I’ll keep trying till I finally succeed
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I am sure they are the types meant for your zone. Can't imagine my fig plants surviving in harsh winter in Canada unless they are in container and you winterize them
Thanks again for taking the time to share your talents. What type for potting medium do you use, ProMix or something like Miracle Grow? I’ve used things like Mushroom compost and have not had very good success rooting roses or hydrangeas with those.
Hi Warren. Yes, Pro Mix or Sunshine Mix from the hardware store will do - the ones without fertilizer. I'm not sure, but I think the Miracle Grow mix has an NPK on the bag. The mushroom compost you tried can have a fair amount of fertilizer salt too (depending on the source, and how well composted) so it wouldn't surprise me if cuttings lost moisture to it. Best luck with your cuttings!
I went ahead, made the cuttings and used ProMix. I continue to mist the cuttings but have left them I am ares where they get predominant shade. So far, so good. The few leaves I left on the cuttings have remained green 👍 Thanks again for all your great videos.
Great Video Fraser. much appreciated. we live in hot climate ( Middle East) and it is difficult to leave cuttings out when temperature above 40C even at shaded areas. also i am unable to do the mist approach that you have. i tend to keep plants in house at temperature between 20-25 C. what you be you best advise to make them to root. i get a lot of rotting and i used all sort of techniques. thanks in advance
Thanks Mohamed. Indoors at those temps might call for a humidity dome just to keep the cuttings from wilting. For an example, see my vid on lavender: th-cam.com/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/w-d-xo.html
Hello from UK sir. I am trying to propagate some hebes, after my first attempt left me with a bare twig! I read that hebes were easy and I suspect that my cuttings heard that, so they seem to be determined to be a bit difficult, or maybe they just take longer than I thought! I put them in a pot at the beginning of June (this year!) and they are still sitting there, seemingly unchanged! Maybe they are just lazy but...? Blessings and peace
I was thinking can I be bothered to watch another video about propagation and still come away confused.
So glad I did. That was a really good video, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
I do quite a lot of propagating and have watched many You Tube videos for advice. I find this one to be one of the best.

How do you take cutting of petunias
Exactly my problem with most videos on TH-cam, all good and well talking but if your making a video you may aswell show us!

I can’t believe the results in three weeks, fantastic. ✅
I left rose cutting in empty spaces of another large pot with another plant. All cuttings been successful without drying out!

Hi Menchu
1. cut the end of the cutting at a sharp / angle,
2, make sure there is a BASE NODE close to the / sharp angled cut and at least another node further up.
3. gentle scratch off a minute TINY amount of the green /brown bark just above the BASE NODE.

5. Use a disposable paper mache pot (buy said papermache pot on wish.com or ebay.com or make your own at home)- fill with seed raising or cutting soil mix.
6. make a hole in the soil in the pot.
7. Insert the cutting into said pot referred to above and press soil to the cutting.
8. Have as many as 12 or 16 said cuttings each in their own paper mache pot
9. get one of those large white plastic storage containers with secure lids
10 place all your assembled pots with the cuttings into the base of the container.
1l. LIGHTLY and BRIEFLY water ONCE ONLY all the pots placed in the said large white container. then Make sure the lid is firmly on (clipped) so the lid cannot fly off in the wind
12. Place the assembled closed big white container in a sheltered position outside. Do NOT REMOVE the lid for 4 weeks. you can take a quick look if the weather is very warm but if the weather mild you can probably go 6 weeks before you need to check on them. Condensation will form on the underside of the lid - do NOT touch that - the condensation helps the plants to thrive.

Great video ! Thanks for sharing !
Thank you, very enjoyable and clear. I appreciate your time.
Great explanation! Thank you. Can I do this right now when my Russian Sage has not put on new growth yet following the winter?
Hi Alexandria - I think the cuttings will root more easily from the fresh growth
Very informative 👍
Hydrangeas can be done with no nodes at the bottom, they root all along the stem.
Thanks Wendy - good to hear. Most plants have an easier time with the nodes, but I'll have to try a cut between nodes just for kicks
This was helpful and interesting. Just wondering how to water if you can’t mist every 10 mins. And what time year or season do you do this so you can plant outside? I’ll definitely check out other videos!!
Thanks Claire. I use timed mist for some cuttings, for others I use humidity domes.
When I get home I am going to try some cuttings 😀
Also basil. Just put the cutting in water and it will root like crazy. Russian sage cuttings root very quickly in water too.
I knew about the Basil and have Russian Sage in water now, hoping it will root.
@@ginettamarinelli479 Don't forget goji berry. Cut some long stems.Remove and eat all the leaves except for the very top 6 inches. Cut it into 6 inch pieces. For the very top growth leave a few leaves. Put all of them in water. They will root in about a week or at most 10 days. Keep them inside the house. Change the water every day or two.
Thanks for this video, it's very helpful. I bought a Russian Sage a few weeks ago and I love how beautiful it looks so I was wondering how it could be propagated and this video is perfect to learn, I will try what you showed and will let you know how that turns out. By the way, what kind of soil did you use in this video? Thanks.
Thanks. I'm not sure which soil I was using at the time. Mainly is a blend of composted bark and shredded wood fiber as shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/V8Q6f0AgEB4/w-d-xo.html
Put a top cutting of the Hydranges in a cup with tapwater and cover it with a plastic bag, after 2-3 weeks you have roots.
Now I know why am not getting any roots, I didn't cover it Lol
But then what do you do with it. I have had trouble going from water to soil.
Excellent instruction. Thanks 😊
Great explanation! I subscribed! Thank you!
Thanks Diane. Best of luck with your propagation
Thank you very much for the teaching. Very informative.
Thanks for the encouragement Helen.
I’m excited to try this with some plants I have in my garden to share.
Good luck Bon. Let me know how it goes
Which fertilizer works? Which month?

Your shirt makes a handsome presentation. I pruned my roses hard to allow inner circulation. Clean your fingernails for the next go round! I'm OVERJOYED to have this go round. Eureka! I didn't know I could propagate Russian Sage! Oh! I have such a beautiful bush! Snip, Snip!!! How important is the rooting hormone? Are you using Clonex? After the end de August NO MORE pruning roses! Mike McGraph says to send your pruners overseas and don't take them back until spring.
Thanks Portia. I need to be more mindful if I dig in the garden before taking those ultra close-ups! The rooting hormone increases my odds by around 10% I estimate. On a large number of easy-to-root cuttings, I could be tempted to skip the powder. I use StimRoot because it's what's easily available trough my local supplier. You can replace with any formulation with around 0.4% IBA for semi-hardwood. Yes, i'll be doing most of my final structural pruning this month on roses. I may "cheat" a bit to get wood for late cuttings into September, but after that, my pruners will find good use in the greenhouses for overwinter cleanup of potted plants.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank God you do take those ultra close ups XOXO We gardeners could careless about junk like fingernails:-) It's just that "motherly voice i hear in the back de my tete":-) Mom OF COURSE doesn't like to garden bc she would get her fingernails dirty, lol:-) So your safe among us gardeners:-) I am looking forward to going out tomorrow and snipping my Russian Sage. I sold a teeny tiny root for $1 USD. I am trying to have a Mediterranean garden. I cover up my (3) English Lavenders parce que when get a lotta rain here in Pittsburgh, PA. I keep my (2) recycle plastic bins open to catch the rain. I have lately been watering my watermelon, Mini Love I got de Johnny's w/ (2)- (64) oz jugs of water. It was rain water when we had rain but we've hit a dry spell now. We're due to get rain midday plus Vendredi. I'm looking forward to it! Oh! Today out in the garden I did a Ti Chi move w/ the Monarchs. I explained their journey to them about how they will have to go thru the desert BUT they'll make it to Michoacan, Mexico. I feel like they understood:-) My daughter and her fiance just flew to Guatemala to work in a clinic. They are ER doctors. Oh! I got a good sound trac to listen to de one one my fish tank TH-cam buddies: Music by Dyalla Swain. Travellin' (Quick Mix) is excellent. I just charted on all my seedlings. I have planted into both Root Riot and Rockwool I love the color contrast de Dark Bruin Root Riot w/ Bright Vert Cotyledons but I don't like how it crumbles. I've been pushing root riot into (200) cell flats. Well there's ALWAYS more to say but I'll arretez ici:-)
He's working in the dirt.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I have been binge watching your videos and then reading the comments. Makes me want to grow roses and everything else. I currently have two roses one that comes from my great grandmother ( so I was told) and I just recently purchased Maurice Utrillo. I hope I don’t kill it. Lol 😂 Most of your supporters are knowledgeable as well as helpful .... others well.... you have the patience of a saint with some of these comments. Amazing!
You have been so helpful, I thank you. At the appropriate time next season I want to plan. My thoughts were a nice dirt bed I had as a vegetable garden. Problem is it is in a South West sun. Is this too intense for planting Hydrangeas? And do you have a video for propagating lavender? Thanks for you time.
Hi Toni. For the hydrangeas, I'll have to trust your judgement on whether there's sufficient soil moisture. Hydrangeas can adapt to a fair amount of sun if there's enough water in the soil. Here's what I've done on lavender propagation: th-cam.com/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/w-d-xo.html
Me gustó mucho tu vídeo, aunque no hablo inglés y espero hablarlo en un futuro, tengo la oportunidad de ver tus videos y aprender más sobre la jardinería y de paso perfeccionar mi inglés
Thanks for all the info. I'm having the same success.
Very nice!
Of the few things I have successfully rooted I find figs are the easiest to root. I have never been successful with rose, however. I’ll keep trying till I finally succeed
Nice. I've had fun with fig cuttings too - but I already have 6 or 7 in the landscape, so I'd better knock it off for a while.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm
I am sure they are the types meant for your zone. Can't imagine my fig plants surviving in harsh winter in Canada unless they are in container and you winterize them
Excellent information! Many Thanks 🌼
Thanks for the encouragement Heather.
Excellent. Simply excellent! Thank you so much!
so helpful!! lots of thanks!!
this was very helpfull, thank you so much!
Thanks I’m going to give this a whirl. Great to know 👍❤️😊
Good luck Carmen
Great video !, but in Australia … saint Johns Wart is banned as a noxious Weed 😕 I’ve learned heaps thanks again 🙌🧤🐨🦘🦘🇦🇺
Thanks Karen. I bet it's not the only plant I grow that's on the "naughty list" somewhere!
Thanks again for taking the time to share your talents. What type for potting medium do you use, ProMix or something like Miracle Grow? I’ve used things like Mushroom compost and have not had very good success rooting roses or hydrangeas with those.
Hi Warren. Yes, Pro Mix or Sunshine Mix from the hardware store will do - the ones without fertilizer. I'm not sure, but I think the Miracle Grow mix has an NPK on the bag. The mushroom compost you tried can have a fair amount of fertilizer salt too (depending on the source, and how well composted) so it wouldn't surprise me if cuttings lost moisture to it. Best luck with your cuttings!
Fraser Valley Rose Farm Awesome, thanks so much, again!
I went ahead, made the cuttings and used ProMix. I continue to mist the cuttings but have left them I am ares where they get predominant shade.
So far, so good. The few leaves I left on the cuttings have remained green 👍
Thanks again for all your great videos.
Thanks for the close-ups! Wonderful video! Thanks.. 🙂
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
New to all of this you make it so easy for me to do this thank you!
Another great video , your a great teacher
Great Video Fraser. much appreciated. we live in hot climate ( Middle East) and it is difficult to leave cuttings out when temperature above 40C even at shaded areas. also i am unable to do the mist approach that you have. i tend to keep plants in house at temperature between 20-25 C. what you be you best advise to make them to root. i get a lot of rotting and i used all sort of techniques. thanks in advance
Thanks Mohamed. Indoors at those temps might call for a humidity dome just to keep the cuttings from wilting. For an example, see my vid on lavender: th-cam.com/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/w-d-xo.html
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm That is brilliant Jason and much appreciated. i respect all the knowledge you are sharing. all the best
. THANKS again
Can I do this with forsythia? If so, best time of year? (4 seasons)
Thank you. 😁 👍🏻
Yes. Spring/early summer.
Hydrangea growing great thanks for all your tips. I have some long stems without flowers can I trim them off at this time of the year? Thanks
Yes, now is a good time for reshaping
Thank you, very helpful info. God Bless 🙏🏻💖
Little did you know that Lysol would be so difficult to get.
Hello from UK sir. I am trying to propagate some hebes, after my first attempt left me with a bare twig! I read that hebes were easy and I suspect that my cuttings heard that, so they seem to be determined to be a bit difficult, or maybe they just take longer than I thought! I put them in a pot at the beginning of June (this year!) and they are still sitting there, seemingly unchanged! Maybe they are just lazy but...?
Blessings and peace
Thanks George. Hebes are one that I haven't tried. I read that they're best from softer wood (tips or nearly so)
Great Video!
Thank you For this helpful information
Oh in my 11years i forgot to clean my cuters but i just got new blade on my felco so i have to remember to clean em
