How To Propagate Carnations

- Today we have Karon teaching us how to propagate Carnations.
She begins by filling a plastic bottle (which has been cut in half) with some good-quality soil. Karon continues to snip the stem below one node and above the next along the stem. Now to do the next step you can either use honey or root compound. If you're using a rooting compound you must first dip the stem in water in order to pick up the powder (with honey there's no need to do so). Then make a hole in your soil for the stem to sit in. Spray the contents of the hothouse with water to allow condensation when the lid is on.
The next step is to wait for roots to grow and replant in your garden.
We would love to see how your Carnations turn out so make sure to post on Facebook and Instagram and tag us @westridgeflorist :)
I never knew carnations could be propated from the flower stems. Thanks so much!
I will follow what you've instructed. Thank you very much.
Today, I was at my local Florist, and the floor was a buzz with cuttings...they literally urged me to take some Carnations Stems...and I got a Handful of Rose Stems too! Amazing! I have them under Humidity in various containers! :) What a Day!
I have a promise to come back for more in one week, making myself a visitor every Friday! I was Welcomed!
That's awesome
Hello Nice lady, am going to have a plantation for Carnation this year, wish me luck.
Thank you. I started some a week ago. I like your example.
Thank you! I really appreciate this video; never realized how easy it was!
Omg thank you for posting this video. It's one of the few that propagates it from flowers. A huge thanks, great work!
This is so clear . Thank you
Never realised how simple it is to propagate these great flowers, thanks a bunch UK👍
She's Australian actually. Assuming you thought she was from the UK. Easy mistake to make! Sometimes I think the Australian accent sounds English and the South African accent, like New Zealand or something😂
Wonderful video thanku ! I liked this video in particular because it was concise, as well as informative. I hate when people drone on about something such as a series on raspberry growing I watched the other day; the u-tubers padded out the video to make it longer which wastes precious time.
However this video was perfect, and it's great to know about the bottle-propagator too, many thanks for this. I had wondered where I was going wrong as I'd take good cuttings but they would always dry out & "crisp-up". Many thanks !!
Thank you so much for sharing going to give this a try I will do one with honey and one with rooting powder. When ever I have tried rooting gel or powder they have never worked. Someone told me for roses a potato and cinnamon on rose stem works well. Going to give that a bash too.
Thanks for the clear instruction xx
Excellent
Thanks so much! I recently got into gardening, and a friend said that sphagnum moss can help with keeping the container humid. Do you think it’s a good idea?
Yes but just keep an eye on it to ensure it's not making it to wet
@@westridgefloristtoowoomba8079 ok, thank you so much!
Just tried this! Super excited to see the results. I used a 4L bottle and a few cuttings from a Mother's Day carnation my 5yo gave me. Hoping it works as it would be so cool to remember it 🥰
Did it ever work?
Did it work
Very informative. Easy to follow instructions. 👌
Well , Hello ! I am down Newcastle way in NSW ! Just came across your short but very informative Video , my Young Lady ,lol ! I thank You for it ! I have Propagated Carnations before but not like You described it ! Mine are a hit and a miss ! At the moment I have three 2.4 Metre long by 200 mm high and 120 mm wide Wooden Beds that I made and they are full with Seeds bought from Bunnings and growing quite well ! No Flowers yet but soon ! Also , I watched other Videos on how to prune the Carnations to get bigger Blooms of the Flowers ! I will try it all ! Carnations are the first Flowers I ever bought for my Wifey before we were even Married and she sure Loves them ! Thanks again , Cheers , Klaus !
Loved this! Thank you. Lovely presentation. 🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚
Thank you 💚
I planted carnation seedlings about a month ago (40 germinated) that are doing well so far (my first for growing carnations). After seeing your great video, I want to do a compare and see if I can raise carnations from cuttings like you taught and see a compare. Thank-you for sharing your expertise!
That's so great I'm so pleased !
Thank you!
Once we close the bottle how many times needs to be sprayed?
Not until it produces roots the water will recycle in it however if you think it looks a bit dry give it a spray.
Thx🎉
Great advice,thanks Lady
Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Great explanation. One question. You said once planted you’ll have that carnation growing in your garden forever. I live in zone 6/7. If I plant it in the ground, will it come back year to year?
I'm not 100% sure though I think they will. I would suggest taking a few cuttings to have as a back up for replanting.
I tried this a few wks back with some carnations I had gotten in mid March. Out of 7, I have 2 that have grown new stems/leaves🥰 (idk the correct word.) I’m so excited to seeing them grow more!
Grate tutorial. What is the compound name?
@@antonp.372 rooting compound
Does it work the same if I don’t have compound?
If you don't have compound use honey.....without either it may work but will take longer
Could you explain more in depth on where to cut the stem? Sorry if its a confusing question i know nothing about flowers and am trying to save a carnation
First cut is done under a node and the second cut should be above a node. Nodes are those little lumps on the stem she points at where the leaves grow from
Thanks Louise :)
@@Fdbfjfkfidkdbdbdks thank you!
Did you make holes on the bottle cap??
Nope
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a great video, thank you!
Does the container have holes?
Do we have to make holes
Do you mean in the soil....i do in the mini got house no .
Thank you!
Amazing 😃😍👍
Should this be kept indoors or outdoors?
Either outside or inside where it's got good sunlight so near a window hope you have good success!!
Is the rooting compound the same thing as a rooting hormone?
Yes and you can use honey also
Where did you get the mister? I’ve been looking for a good one all over
Chemist or supermarket or hardware all have them or you can repurpose a house hold spray bottle. Just wash it out we'll using a bit of detergent.
LMAO I was thinking why this lady having trouble finding husband 🤣
Hahahaha same thought
Is honey better ?
It's as good as tooting compound
Hi, dear , what is the powder? I heard compound. what is it?
It's called a rooting compound available at nurseries and hardware shops.
So this works with Sims carnations ?
Yes or spray carnations
This is amazing and so easy!
Thank you!
Guys !?
