I agree with another comment. I almost clicked off of this video because of the intro. This is an EXCELLENT video. I haven't seen another propagation video like this before, especially regarding BLUEBERRIES. Thank you.
This is the best blueberry cutting video I’ve seen and I almost didn’t continue watching because of the intro length. Great job and I’ll definitely be scrolling through the other videos you’ve uploaded
6:45 - that’s a great looking root system. Blueberries love acidic soil, and not much nitrogen, so make sure you mix your soil with pine bark nuggets, or wood chips, and plenty of peat moss. I would definitely add soil acidifier. At first use mild solution of berry specific fertilizer (like Jack’s 25-9-17). It’s hard to achieve a good soil in a very tiny container, so I would suggest to move it to a bigger one, and create more forgiving environment. Mulch it with pine needles or wood chips. Good luck with your project !
What time zone are you in? What month do you harvest your Blueberry cuttings and what do you do with the young plants for the winter? Thanks for the Video.
What time of year was this? Were cuttings subject to freezing temps? How often did you water cuttings? Thanks(edit) I scrolled thru some other comments and think I got my answers)
This was great, but I found myself wondering what you do next. What do you do with them over the winter (in a cold climate), and when can you plant them in the ground?
I love the video but the music is annoying.... if you can make sure the volume is down some. I missed some things you said because the music makes it hard to hear.... Otherwise LOVE the info
Great video. Forgive me for me too lazy to scroll thru all your comments to see if someone else already asked this.... but for the sand part - is the sand wet or dry and do you water them while they are in your make shift green house? Thank you for what you shared. Greatly appreciate it.
I wonder if you can air layer them. The roots would probably come along quite a bit faster when the 'cutting' is still being fed by the mother plant. But maybe it would just die, I dunno.
I really appreciate this video. Did you water the cuttings in the sand? You said the ones you putted up were a year old. I would have thought they had died and composted them.
All very new to all this. When was this done is the growing season? Thankyou for keeping this simple. WHat type of sand was it as I will have to buy sand as I dont have any on my acre of land. I bought a BB plant amd put it in a wicking bed. They stayed alive but didnt flourish. Then I learnt they prefer a slightly acid soil and since using that its been going like gangbusters but to get a regular supply in the kitchen I will need about a 100 plants. When was this done in the growing season? One of the gr8 things I love about gardening is the learning curve is continous.
Hello! These were all taken when the plants put on their new green growth for the season. I am in the Pacific North West, growing zone 8a, and I take mine in late spring, early summer. 🥰 I also just use plain sand, if you purchase it, get kids play sand so there are no chemicals. 😊
This vid is absolutely helpful and informative. Great videography. Music is awesome. Your property is huge. Just wondering with your property being so vast, have you come across Bigfoot yet? 😂😂👍
Why not scratch the Cambrian layer up the first inch? Also you left all the fruiting buds.... If you did it over would you clip them off? What was the success rate?
I have found scratching has not made alot of difference in success rate as well as removing the flowering buds. They just die back and provide nutrients for the rest while roots are forming. There was almost 100 percent success rate. Only had 2 that didnt root.
I'm guessing you did this some time in the fall or early winter. Is this the best time to do this? After the plants stop producing? Or, does it even matter? Thanks.
This was done in mid spring, in a week or so in relation. The best time is when the plants put out their new growth and you are pruning for the season. 🥰
So many questions: Can you use vermiculite rather than sand? Would you accelerate the root growth w/ some hormone gel? Also, isn't "ample damp" called dample? :-] Cheers!
I bring them into my greenhouse, but you can bring them.indoors if needed until they are rooted. Once they are rooted, they will just go dormant as long as it stays in their temp range. (I am in zone 8b)
What is your growing zone? Consider putting that in your 'About' page. Maybe it is somewhere that i could not see. You said these are blueberries i started last year, so how many months did it take to make the first root you pulled to shiw us? Thank you sir.
Can I ask you? I bought a newly started dwaf blueberry tree a year ago from a non- commercial nursery. , it looked to be in bad shape at that time, so I choose to grow this tree over this past year in my kitchen ( away from normal activity.I'm noticing spours in the planter bucket. I have other starter seedlings in the same space I keep this dwaf , it has grown triple and looks awesome but I started noticing black spours in the soil. Is this a normal phenomenon for blue berry? I have not seen this over the last 6 years in seeding or in other tree types I start and keep in kitchen depending on the plant/ tree growth. Just curious if you know anything about the spours. I've looked up but cant seem to find clear information particular to the tree itself. Thank you a head of time. Have a great day.
A few months? is that just blueberries? I have a globe willow branch sprouting roots after 1 week. just plopped into a 5 gal bucket with water with a couple handfuls of top soil
Thank you! I am watching it from Poland. I have 4 bushes of blueberries. One of them is the most delicious and gives fruits early. I was wondering how to propagate it to have more bushes like this.. For sure will try! I hope it is not too late for it in my climat zone. 🫐
If it is later in the season, and the plants have put on their hardy "bark" in place of their green growth, you can bring them inside to help with temperature control. 😊
sand? I know there are different types. didn't know that before I put in a brick paver sidewalk and had to get the 'locking' kind. is this a special sand or just sandbox sand? I took out an above ground pool a couple of years ago and still have sand from that.
So you are putting them in sand ….just how often are they watered until u r replanting the newly rooted pieces … please more info specifics…. Thank you
They will try to produce their first year, however I pluck the flowers off until year 3 so they can put on some really good vegetative growth first. 😊🧘♂️
You didn’t use any sort of hormone solution for the cuttings. How effective is that compared to using a hormone solution on the cuttings as others advocate?
I had about a 90% success rate doing it this way. Using a hormone will definitely help the process, especially if conditions aren't ideal, however I find it unnecessary and just an extra step in most cases. 😊🧘♂️
When they are putting out their new growth is when intake my Cuttings. And I am just using play sand, but any sand will work as long as it has been rinsed with clean water really well.
You can use either purchased or forged sand. Purchased you want to get play box sand, so it is clean of chemicals; foraged sand you want to make sure you wash and rinse it very well. 😊
I water the sand daily as it drains very well, as for when they are potted up I do the finger test on my soil, if it sticks to you, it's moist enough, if not, I water. 🥰
Assuming they are healthy, they will put out flowers their first year. I recommend picking them off in the first year and letting the roots and vegetation fill in. 🥰
I kept them inside their makeshift greenhouse on the south facing side of my place. I am in zone 8b and they survived perfectly. We even had some unheard of cold snaps below 10°F 🥶
If they have a healthy root ball established, or you plant them out early enough in the growing season for them to establish themselves, it is totally ok to plant straight into the ground. Just have to make sure the plant has enough energy stored for winter. 😊
Any water will work. I am lucky to be able to use rain WA ater most of the time, however tap water will work(preferably left to sit overnight to "offgas")
Just plain sand. If you are purchasing it, you want to buy play box sand, if you gather it yourself, you want to make sure to wash and rinse it very well. 😊

Nice work on the video, and that background music is spot-on!
Thank you so much! 😊
1 minute in and still in intro. Good video! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent tutorial looking forward to taking cuttings of my blueberries.
Wow thanks
I gone try this, probably in hot climates it will grow faster
Love the clear container green house
Really great video also loved the music in the background, very relaxing and informative
Thank you very much!
Very cool, ima try this. I have 15 blueberry bushes and want anther 30 more.
Didn’t even know you could do that😮
Thanks and subscribed
Thank you Coelum - Home-grown Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits (and Strawberries too!) Blessings...
So glad to find you..jervis bay Oz 🇦🇺
Great intro and info...blessings ❤
What time zone are you in? What month do you harvest your Blueberry cuttings and what do you do with the young plants for the winter? Thanks for the Video.
I am in the Pacific Time Zone here in Washington State. 😊 I take cuttings when they put out new growth in the spring and summer time when I prune.
Blueberries like acidic soil, you can make your own by mixing in some sand to regular soil
Great info and enjoyed the music.
Awesome thank you. Can't wait to watch some of your other videos.
What time of year was this? Were cuttings subject to freezing temps? How often did you water cuttings? Thanks(edit) I scrolled thru some other comments and think I got my answers)
Cut out that long intro your def losing people. Just get into it.
Just like Babbsinboston, I was about to skip this video because of the l-o-n-g intro. But I read her comments so I'm still here
Love the music it tranquilizer me to only hear your voice of wisdom. Bless you brother.
Why didn't you use hormone powder?
I have found success rates to be just about the same with the use of a rooting hormone and without, simpler to just not use it. 😊
Can we get an update on the cutting? I would like to see how far they come. Thank you!
Yes! I will have an update video in a couple weeks when I take new cuttings. 🥰
숙지삽목은 삽수를꽂고 햇볕에두고 물관리만하면 됩니다.

I appreciate you and your feedback. I was still fairly new to making content at this time and continue to learn and grow. 😊 Happy growing!
Loved the little greenhouse
I’ve subscribed to your TH-cam channel from Ireland. ❤
Hello from the PNW in the states! 🥰
Nice. Planning on doing some propagating soon.
Thanks , it looks very easy
Great tips, thanks for sharing

I started hydrangea cuttings but in plain vermiculite,
great video
This vid is absolutely helpful and informative. Great videography. Music is awesome. Your property is huge. Just wondering with your property being so vast, have you come across Bigfoot yet? 😂😂👍
Thank you my friend! 😊 And sadly, no Bigfoot yet. 😔
That the intro song for “Off grid with Jake and Nicole “
They have amazing taste! It's my friend Josh Amerente. Met him when I was in Sweden for a few months. 🥰🧘♂️

How long do new cuttings need to grow in greenhouse before i can plant in the ground?
2 to 4 weeks or until there are substantial roots coming from the drainage holes in the pot. 😊
Excellent video!
Thank you! 🥰
I'm guessing you did this some time in the fall or early winter. Is this the best time to do this? After the plants stop producing? Or, does it even matter? Thanks.

Yes, Yes, and Yes!! 🥰
That music tho had me rolling in the begining - never seen someone take blueberries to this level 😂🫐🫐🫐
We take ALL gardening to this level my friend. 🤣😎 Josh Amerente is the artist.
What do you do with the rooting plants in sand and the ones planted in potting soil in the winter time?
I bring them into my greenhouse, but you can bring them.indoors if needed until they are rooted. Once they are rooted, they will just go dormant as long as it stays in their temp range. (I am in zone 8b)
Very smart! Thanks
What is your growing zone? Consider putting that in your 'About' page. Maybe it is somewhere that i could not see. You said these are blueberries i started last year, so how many months did it take to make the first root you pulled to shiw us? Thank you sir.
Very informative. I would have enjoyed it more without the music, but that's just me.
I’ve gotta ask about that music, I enjoy that as much as the video, which was excellent.
Who plays that music?
Josh Amerente! He is one of my favorite artists! 🥰
Did you retain enough moisture in the propagation pots under the dome with such large gaps in your table?
Yup! Just adjust your watering schedule based on humidity levels. I watered twice a day.
Thank you.
You are welcome!
Do you water them while they are in the sand, after you cut them?
I keep the sand moist for the most part. Maybe once a day, or every other day depending on outside temps. 🥰
Hey, great video. Can I ask, did you keep the sand moist? Also, did you place at north side of building out of direct sunlight?
Hello! Yes, keep the saind moist and place out of direct sunlight. 🥰
Can I ask you? I bought a newly started dwaf blueberry tree a year ago from a non- commercial nursery. , it looked to be in bad shape at that time, so I choose to grow this tree over this past year in my kitchen ( away from normal activity.I'm noticing spours in the planter bucket.

I've looked up but cant seem to find clear information particular to the tree itself. Thank you a head of time. Have a great day.
I'm not 100% sure without seeing it, but it could potentially be a type of mold or fungus. 😊
A few months? is that just blueberries? I have a globe willow branch sprouting roots after 1 week. just plopped into a 5 gal bucket with water with a couple handfuls of top soil
Blueberries are a little slower to start, but take off in years 2 and 3. 😊
When is the best time to propogate and thank you for the information
When the plants put on their new growth for the season. 🥰
Thank you! I am watching it from Poland. I have 4 bushes of blueberries. One of them is the most delicious and gives fruits early. I was wondering how to propagate it to have more bushes like this.. For sure will try! I hope it is not too late for it in my climat zone. 🫐
If it is later in the season, and the plants have put on their hardy "bark" in place of their green growth, you can bring them inside to help with temperature control. 😊
Did u water the sand at all when the cuttings are developing roots? like before you repot them I mean
Thanks for sharing. Great info.
Is it suitable for hot regions?
Yes it is! Just make sure your space is well ventilated to prevent mold, and do not allow the cuttings to dry out. 😊
Great video thanks for sharing
Thank you! Happy growing!
sand? I know there are different types. didn't know that before I put in a brick paver sidewalk and had to get the 'locking' kind. is this a special sand or just sandbox sand? I took out an above ground pool a couple of years ago and still have sand from that.
Just is just plain sandbox sand. However if you have sand already, just make sure it is washed very well and it should work perfectly fine. 🥰
Is there a better time of year to do this? Winter, spring, summer, fall? Thanks for the download.
I have found the best time is when the plans put out their new green growth, for me that is the spring time 😊
👍can u start bluberrys from seed from the fruit
So you are putting them in sand ….just how often are they watered until u r replanting the newly rooted pieces … please more info specifics…. Thank you
How long does it take from propagating to production?
They will try to produce their first year, however I pluck the flowers off until year 3 so they can put on some really good vegetative growth first. 😊🧘♂️
What temperature do you maintain in your miniature greenhouse?
Love the video but lol at the minecraft music
Super! 👍
Thank you!! 😊
Why only sand and no soil for the cuttings?
How do you water them in sand
I water them daily with my water pail. 😊
You didn’t use any sort of hormone solution for the cuttings. How effective is that compared to using a hormone solution on the cuttings as others advocate?
I had about a 90% success rate doing it this way. Using a hormone will definitely help the process, especially if conditions aren't ideal, however I find it unnecessary and just an extra step in most cases. 😊🧘♂️
Love the music . What is it ?
I use alot of music by my friend Josh Amarente. 😊 He is extremely talented.
Nice vid. 👍👍 Thx
What about starting them with a potting medium other then sand? Couldn't it potentially be faster?
Either way I will experiment for myself.
I have found that there are less contaminants when using sand first. However soil does work, it is just more prone to things such as rot. 😊
How often to you water the sand?
So you don’t water the sand?
What is the best time to propagate blueberries and what type of sand are you using?
When they are putting out their new growth is when intake my Cuttings. And I am just using play sand, but any sand will work as long as it has been rinsed with clean water really well.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Curious, what season are you in?
This was done in late spring when the plants put on their new growth. I am in growing zone 8b. 😊
Great job!! One question, do you have any holes in the tote you used for ventilation?
Thank you! And yes I do, towards the very top of each side I have 2 small holes drilled for slight ventilation.
Nice video! Thank you for sharing. What type of sand do you use? Was it purchased or foraged?
You can use either purchased or forged sand. Purchased you want to get play box sand, so it is clean of chemicals; foraged sand you want to make sure you wash and rinse it very well. 😊
How often do you water the Berries in the sand and how often in the second container?
I water the sand daily as it drains very well, as for when they are potted up I do the finger test on my soil, if it sticks to you, it's moist enough, if not, I water. 🥰
others recommend leaving a couple of leaves at the end to help with energy needs, do you have better results with no leaves on your cuttings?
I have found that most times the leaves drop anyways, but I have about a 90 percent success rate with this method.
how soon will they produce fruit from cuttings? Thanks for the video
Assuming they are healthy, they will put out flowers their first year. I recommend picking them off in the first year and letting the roots and vegetation fill in. 🥰
What temp can these handle? What do you do with them in the winter months if you don't mind me asking?
I kept them inside their makeshift greenhouse on the south facing side of my place. I am in zone 8b and they survived perfectly. We even had some unheard of cold snaps below 10°F 🥶
If they have the roots can they go outside in blueberry patch? (You mention winter putting in greenhouse)
If they have a healthy root ball established, or you plant them out early enough in the growing season for them to establish themselves, it is totally ok to plant straight into the ground. Just have to make sure the plant has enough energy stored for winter. 😊
nice soundtrack, artist and song name please?
It is by Josh Amarente. 🥰
How many buds should I cut for? 1 for roots and 2 more or 2 and 2?
I would leave atleast 2 buds if you are able. More is definitely ok as well, but no less than 2. 🥰
So, no watering while in the sand/root growing stage?
They get watered daily. 😊
When is the best time to take cuttings. Fall? Spring?
Usually late spring or early summer when the plants are putting on their new green growth is best. 😊
what kind of sand do you use?
Just plain sand, if you purchase it, get kids play sand. 😊
Great video! I'm in zone 7b what time of the year would you take the cuttings.... thanks
I take my cutting when the plants put out their new growth in spring and early summer. 😊
Where do you get your blueberry plant
I have been blessed by being gifted my plants, however you can find them at your local nursery most times. 🥰
Do you add any water to the sand when you put in the cuttings?
Any water will work. I am lucky to be able to use rain WA ater most of the time, however tap water will work(preferably left to sit overnight to "offgas")
What type of sand is that?
Just plain sand. If you are purchasing it, you want to buy play box sand, if you gather it yourself, you want to make sure to wash and rinse it very well. 😊
I'm in UK, wondered what time of year you take cuttings??
I take cuttings when the plants put on their new green growth, in spring time for myself(PST), zone 8a. 😊
what is the intro song? its soothing
It is by Josh Amarente. 🥰
Did you water the sand before putting the cuttings in?
I did make sure the sand was damp before, and then watered thoroughly afterwards as well. 😊
What is the intro song? It is great.
It's by Josh Amarente. He is a wonderful artist.
