How to take lavender cuttings for free that succeed. Easy and Quick oh and Free!
Great vid. I'm stunned to know you used an inch and a half to propagate with..
AND IT WORKED!
I've come across too many videos with ppl saying, "if your cutting isn't 4-6 inches long, it won't propagate", when in reality, only 1 of dozens I've tried propagating 'THEIR way' has rooted. It was a 3 incher and a " Let's see what happens" experiment.
Guess they were ALL dead wrong.
I'm going to try this 1 today as I've already acclimated my lavender to inside in my kitchen, middle of my double patio doors, which I don't use anymore as I have 50+ plants in front of it now, soak in up the sun, living + loving it..
This 1 lavender is THRIVING but today, I have to trim up my lavender bc I slacked prior to bringing it inside.
I wanted it to get used to the environment PRIOR to starting to clip all kinds of pieces off and attempting to propagate while it hadn't yet gotten used to indoor temps.
They, other lavender owners, REALLY mean it when they say, "if you try caring for lavender, you're going to kill it. Just leave it alone, prune 2xs a yr (or if you want to propagate or get your lavender shrub to look a certain shape) and ONLY, STRICTLY, LIGHTLY,water once every 2 wks to once a month. Otherwise, it'll get upset with you and die."
They mean it.
So when I prune today, I'll be taking the small clippings as I doubted they'd be able to grow properly from such small pieces, now that I feel more comfortable seeing someone else using such small pieces, I'll be doing all I cut.
I'll update ya with my progress once I start seeing growth.

Let's see how long it takes.
(I've had AMAZING success with propagating ALL of my succulents, contrary to what others tell you, pop any broken pieces, after breaking off at a node, pop the pieces into some soaked vermiculite/perlite mix in a k-cup, let it sit in the window and I give mine only 5 squirts every 2 days from a spray bottle.
I've NEVER lost a clipping, cutting or leaf piece I was propagating. Not yet anyways, knock on wood!
I hope this helps someone else.
Thanks for your comment. Looking forward to hearing your update. I love the "if you care for lavender you'll kill it" and can testify it's all true. 😆 Succulents are dead easy to propagate. I've got them coming out of my ears. A great starter plant to use to get hooked on the Joy of Propagating.
You're very charming, express yourself really well and it is a wonderful video overall. This is a big thumbs up mate.
very good information and nice shirt! Thank you!
Lovely - clear and concise video - thank you!
Thanks Suzi. Glad you found value. 😉
That is so informative...well done, great production.🌱🌱🌱
The first go is always a practice! 😁
I've taken cuttings for White Buddleia and Hydrangea's and made a video on these about 3 years ago. Also took cuttings for Spirea, Lavender and Hebe's.
Thanks 👍
Great tip about cleaning pots, thanks
May or may not help. But good to not reintroduce any pathogens.
i never rinse the pot before, so guilty. Thank you for letting me know ,
I love lavender, if I could do it all again I would grow lavender and have beehives 🐝🐝🐝
I've just been looking at a beehive system for next year maybe. Flow! A little expensive but looks very easy to use.
So by late sept, you have rooted cuttings. Do you re-plant them then? If not, what do you do with them over the winter?
I let them grow on indoors under my light lamps. But a cool bright position is all they'll need.
Can I propagate now ( in Spring ) ? and if so, is it best at this time of year to take cuttings from a new lavender plant ( i.e. one bought in a garden centre) or an existing Lavender plant from your garden ? thanks Neil
Hi Neil, yes go for it. Softwood cuttings can be taken now. Just pick non flowering shoots. Let me know how it goes.
Where do u put the zip locked cuttings? None of the videos I watched states where to put it
Put them somewhere bright, not direct midday sunlight though.
Hi thanks for this great video! Please can you answer a question? Do I need to water the lavender in that 4-6 weeks when they are in the bags? If anything grows when should I move it to a bigger pot? Thanks x
Hi Emma, if they are sealed then you shouldn't need to water. You don't want wet soil, you risk losing the cuttings to rotting off. Just damp to the touch. If they do dry off just moisten them a little. Leave the cuttings in the pot until you see roots in the pot holes at the bottom. Another indicator that they have successfully rooted is if you see new growth. Once they've developed healthy roots. Plant on separately in a similar sized pot to the cuttings. But this time one to a pot.
GreenTipsGarden yes we have roots! Thank you! Now I’ve put them separately in their own bigger pots should they still be in the bags or are ok outside the bags now?
I find you need to acclimatise them slowly. They aren't used to the drier air outside the sealed environment. So over a week or so I loosen the knot in the bag, then gradually open the bag and finally roll it down and off. That way they adjust to the drier air.
It's August and I've discovered that my garden is failing because our local bee population has diminished significantly, hence, little or no fruit in my garden. Planning for next year my bee mentor suggested i plant lavendar in order to 1) attract bees to my bee hive, and 2) keep them healthy year round. I have 1 lavendar plant, and I've never pruned it. It's at least 8 years old. Can i still take CUTTINGS from it and propagae from it?
Yes, why not. Use the young non flowering tips. You'll have so many they'll be coming out of your ears. So easy to do.
After planting the cuttings, don’t you need to water them before putting the plant into the plastic bag?
Indeed, sorry if that wasn't clear. The compost should be moist not wet though.
I believe its a dibber not a dribbler could be wrong!
If you're using cuttings with a flower on them, should you snip them off?
You should endeavor to get a non flowering shoot if at all possible, but if you are limited for material you can use them. Make sure to cut the flower spike off.
What are you dipping it into?
It's rooting hormone powder. It stimulates root growth.
Is it soft or hard wood cutting, that's why I watched?
Valleri Roberts personally ive had the most success with softwood cuttings but not the ones that are too new. Rather the ones that have some sort of structure and can hold itself. But im sure hardwood cuttings work aswell.
I think this video cuts off half way through?
Please tell me how to seedling Lavender.Can grow in India.I have some seeds.
Usually it is recommended to grow from cuttings. As these will have the same characteristics of the parent. Whereas with seed you will have genetic variety. My lavender self sows into my gravel driveway. So you can see they would need free draining soil as a growing medium
Need to reupload that .
Can I, also, propagate a cactus that broke off?
It depends what part, was it at a joint? What cactus?
@@GreenTipsGardenit was below the dirt.broke off from base..how can i send u a pic of cactus
If it's got roots you can pot it up in cactus compost.
I never clean my pots, my plants are fine, don”t be afraid of “good ol” germs
Free microrhizal fungi. 😁
Everyone keeps giving different advice for Lavender. Direct sunlight, not direct sunlight. Constantly keep soil moist and only water once a week. I have no idea which advice I should follow.
It is a bit of an art. Why not do a mini trial. Two pots and two different methods. The problem is the plants have no roots and until they form the goal is to make sure they don't dry out but also that they don't rot off because it's too humid/wet. Hence it being a skill, but once you've mastered it you'll have free plants for life
WHERE IS THE DATE.HOW ARE THEY DOING
they all died and now they are in lavender heaven
@@rand0m0mg WELL I DID 2 THEY DOING OK SO FAR
Well done. Mine are potted on in the garden.
Lol the auto focus
Yes, work in progress. Any suggestions gratefully received.
What is that irritating background noise? Detracts immensely!
