Propagation Greenhouse Tour

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2024
- Tour this propagation greenhouse - a commercial facility producing young perennials, annuals, veggies, tropicals and succulents. The growers are pretty adventurous, always experimenting with new ways to produce young plants - stem cuttings (mainly), offsets, division, leaf cuttings, tissue culture, root cuttings. I make some commentary through the tour, but if you see anything I didn't explain, please drop your questions into the comments section.
If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:
Have a look at our Amazon shop: www.amazon.com...
Follow our farm on Instagram: / fraservalleyrosefarm
Like us on Facebook: / fraservalleyrosefarm
Or better yet, subscribe to this TH-cam channel: www.youtube.co...

Yes I would like another tour of propagating greenhouses.
Thanks Diane. I'll have something on the way!
Thank you for sharing Jason. It's always nice to see the bigger picture once in a while.
How I wish I could do this for living ♥️
Make it happen!
You could…
I do! Go for it!
Thanks Jason, that took me back to my time in the industry... The joys of bottom-heating! You can grow almost anything.
All that French Tarragon! Not so easy to find in Australia, but infinitely better than the Russian rubbish (talking as a cook here).
I used to really enjoy the atmosphere in our sheds: I reckon you get high on the extra oxygen the plants produce... a big shed full of Basil was one of the special joys of summer!
More Please. 😉
Thanks Bryan. Will do.
Experiments galore!!!
Very interesting! From Wisconsin.
Thanks Joanne
I love Fraser Valley Rose Farm' channel! I used to spend hours searching for the info that you provide in just minutes 😃! I love the way you share your experience and knowledge, you're focused, precise and easy to understand. I love Jasminum Sambac's flowers, its fragrance is amazing! Thank you for sharing your passion with us!!!🌺🌺🌺
Thanks Marcy
A lot of Sansevierias have been reclassified as Dracaenas now 😅
It was cool watching a tour ! 💚
This is fascinating, thank you! Such an interesting combination of technology. Hoping I have bought some of your plants over here in Victoria. It's a nice thought!!
Would love to see another tour! Your videos are super informative and interesting as always.
Thanks Liz
Well, I will add that all your information given is great and just shows me how much happier I could have been working in such an environment. Great work. Thank you.
Thanks Ignacia
Woooooo soo nice you are the best groner thank you for show us.. it soo beutiful.
I just bought 2roses I used too grow a long time a long time ago(Chicago peace and Blue girl) I am a senior and just moved. The last home I grew knockout red and pink also drift Roses,they still got black spots. I prefer High Bread Teas or Flourebanda.I started doing some reshot here and it led me to a Rosarian, her answer to me was they are not desires resistant I just stopped with the two I bought.I think this is one of the problems you just discribed in video, so I will try these two for now. I could just remember the beautiful Rose gardens I had when I was younger.
This was really cool.
Thanks Dennis
Thanks so much for making this I'm confined to inhouse due disability. And I think I see something I can do😅
Very interesting knowledge which I am currently looking for
I just want to say how much we appreciate this tour!!
More, please.
Another awesome video! Love that you have so many tropicals.
Thanks Mary
I didn't realise you worked on so many plants other than roses. I would love to see more tours of your growing facilities.
Thanks
I like to see more tour of propagation nursery too. Thanks.
Oh man I wish we had those conditions where I work.
Fascinating, I loved the video. 👍
Thanks Paul.
PLEASE anoyher tour of growing facilitys, it is more space than i could handle rite now , although i belive i would be able to grow into it and expand!
You bet Yooper
So interesting and inspiring! It would be great to see more videos of that sort.
Thanks Camilla
Thank you so much for the tour. I learned so much from your videos and truly enjoy watching them. Thanks again!
Jason great video
Thanks Bill
Nice propagation house! Always like seeing commercial facilities.
Thanks Pat
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks 😊
Thanks Michael
I'd love to see a video of Rainbow Nursery. They grow many varieties of palms and other USDA Zone 7 and above plants.
Thanks Steven - I know a couple of people who worked there, but I haven't been for a tour myself.
Always love your videos! It’s so interesting to see the behind the scenes of where plants come from before they hit my local garden center!
Fantastic operation!
love this style video
Thanks Deanna
Yes please, more propagating video!
Loved the tour!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I'm a veg grower, except for companion flower plants, but I've been subscribed to your channel for quite some time, and really enjoy them, learn from them and find then interesting. I agree with Monamoonz1, I too wish I could turn my growing interest into a full time business, and maybe some day I will. For that reason, plus many others, I like watching commercial growing setups and tours. More of them please and keep doing what you already do.
Thanks Stuart
Great video as always. Loved this tour. What I'd give to do such a thing for a living.
Some healthy looking plant buddies, fantastic video!
Thanks Jon
Impressive! Seeing all the energy and expense that goes into propagation of massive plants is inspiring! Thanks for posting and even though I am in the USA, I wish you the best in personal and professional business! I love the pop up garden centers!
Thanks so much Diane
Cool, liked this.
Thanks Karen.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I’m an avid gardener and love seeing behind the scenes and learning tips and tricks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Heather!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Just watched this video again
Curious as to greenhouse design - there seems to be so much wasted space that is either heated or cooled. If you’re using grow lights on one side, why not layer up the propagation tables and maximize your space and increase efficiency? I don’t understand the concept of a single layer under such a large dome. At home, I use steel garage freestanding shelves and have lights/trays under each level and maximize my grow room. Just curious 😊 Thanks again!
Very interesting. Would love more similar videos about propagation.
Thanks Michael. I'll get them onto the list
Yes I love these types of videos! Thank you!
Thanks Marlene.
Great video. Look forward to see the other facilities in the future 👍👍
Thanks Paul
Really enjoyed this tour Jason!!
Thanks Elaine.
fantastic video - thank you for the tour! if you can please do show off the facility in future videos. i’m off to try a leaf propagation of my jasmine.
Excellent video. Thanks for the tour and cool info
My pleasure Kathleen. Thanks for watching!
Good question I'm thinking of mostly starter plants. Good luck
Yes, that was great. Thank you. And more please.
Thanks Anna
This was so informative as well as being very interesting! Thanks for sharing this with us Jason :)
My pleasure Leia. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting. I’m interested in all the videos you do!
Thanks Jenny
Thank you so much. I would love more videos like this!
Thanks Dani
Bagus .infonya cara yg benar memperbanyak.tanaman
This is one of the most interesting propagation overviews and in my opinion it’s a large scale
Can you please consider a whole video just on placing the seeds into the trays
Thanks. I'll put it on my list
That's amazing
Interesting stuff! 😎
Thanks Anthony
Fantastic,, thank you👍
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
Greetings from Georgia in the States Jason. Love the content man. Are there any vendors you would recommend for buying canes from ?? It's time to build mother stock. Perhaps some that specialize in plants no longer under patent ?!
You have loads of suppliers in the US. You could look at Rogue Valley or Heirloom Roses.
Incredibile. #Santolina, i.e. “Lavender Cotton!” You actually HAVE it?
In our Northeastern gardening centers, Santolina Gray in particular has been impossible to find lately. There are some green plants around.
What a gorgeous scent and don’t even get me started how beautiful the Gray plants look in the moonlight. The lacy foliage almost glows. It’s an eerily enchanting shrub. If only I could find it!
One of my favorites!
Hello! Love your videos! I would like to propagate roses, red dogwood and willow, what time of year should I take cuttings? I'm in Zone 3. Thanks!
I like late spring or early summer
Neat! Can you tell us how many plants are raised per year? And what kind of succes rate do you have overall with the cuttings? They all look happy and healthy!0
Hi Thomas. I'd have to check production records for the totals (changing pretty fast these days!) but as a general standard, we plan for between 1 and 3% loss depending on variety.
I loved seeing how a greenhouse is set up and how it runs, and what you do to the plants to get them rooted and growing into another plant. I am trying my own green house here in the states, and it helps to see how it is supposed to run. (But mine is tiny, lol) I like the idea of having the mother plants so you can get more from them. I was wondering how they are cared for through the years so they keep going strong.....(BTW when you turn the camera to other things, can you so slower, I was getting dizzy) laughs have a great day thank you!
Thanks Christina. I'm probably not the right guy for hand-held footage - too much moving around. I've ordered myself a gimbal to slow myself down and make things smoother. The mother plants hold up pretty good as long as you keep taking cuttings and divisions. If one begins to decline, you can just refresh from the rooted cuttings.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Laughs, its no problem, I hope the gimbal will go well for you. What do you mean by the ones beginning to decline, you can refresh from the rooted cuttings? You mean the cuttings that you already took you just make that the mother plant? Or would you just take the mother plant out of the pot, and refresh the soil, and cut some of the roots back to give her a new start?
The first option: throw away the old one and make a new mother from the recently rooted "baby"
This was a fantastic, informative video. I would love to do this on a smaller scale. How do you find out what plants you can legally propagate and sell?
It's a lot of google to figure out the date of the patent (if any)
Holy Cow! Indeed that is a propagation green house! How exciting! I have a question regarding the use of 6ml poly sheeting for covering cuttings as they root. I have a lot left over from my two small hoop houses made last fall, and wondered if that is too thick for the purposes of creating the "humidity" needed for rooting. I thought maybe I could make a bit of a dome with hardware cloth over my totes/pots and fit this sheeting over it. The sheeting is translucent. Would it be necessary to put some holes in it, or would it be fine as is. Thanks for any direction you might have. By the way, we're almost neighbors, as I'm south of you in Buffalo! Thanks Jason!
Thanks. With my rigid plastic domes at home, I've drilled holes and I think I found the right balance of humidity and air flow. If you use a plastic sheet, you'll have to "tinker" a bit to see if the humidity is holding at the right level. You're looking for a little bit of condensation, but not to the point of dripping. The owner of this nursery had a place in Niagara-on-the-Lake (very close to you) - but the one I work at is on the west coast. I got a chance to visit there a few years back, and at the time, their propagation grower was commuting in every day from the US. I wonder how it much it messed him up when the borders were closed.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks for the quick reply! It gives me some important pointers to work from, so I appreciate your helpful answer. Yes, Niagara on the Lake is a favorite day trip when relatives come to visit from back home. Hopefully the border will open in time for summer! Who could have ever imagined the US/Canadian borders would be closed for so long? Thanks for your help, Jason!
Hi! Very interesting! Could you make a vid about tissue culture / meristem propagation?
Thanks. I'll put it on my list
Wheres your roses propagation i love to see them 😉
th-cam.com/video/211r10Jj_OY/w-d-xo.html
would love to see more & would love to know the previous name to see if I bought any of your handiwork.
Will do Robert. It's Valleybrook Gardens, selling plants branded as Heritage Perennials, Jeepers Creepers, Culinary Collectibles, Backyard Fresh.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm How cool! I have indeed purchased some of the jeepers creepers, Creeping Jenny both golden and green for sure, maybe a couple others too.
Awsome video! Love the channel! Is this a company your work for in addition to your own or just a greenhouse you have access to? Along with everyones requests for more tours I would love to see how crews are layed out; number of poeple, their responsibilities, and maybe even what an average day would entail. Keep up the great work and we will keep watching! Thank you!
Woops watched the 2nd vid 1st haha, ignore my first question & consider my request still :)
Thanks - I'll see if I can put together a video with additional details about the business.
Yes, another tour would be great. On a side note, what do you use to film your videos?
Thanks. I use a Canon M50 - I find it pretty easy to use. Next time I do any handheld footage I'll have a gimbal so I don't make everyone so dizzy!
I'd like to get my greenhouse filled with cuttings this fall. I'm in Middle Tennessee. Any resources for buying starters online?
Thanks
I'd be looking at one of the brokerage companies - Ball comes to mind, as they handle cuttings by all the large producers.
Can you propagate Alovera from a leaf.? I have seen a lot of videos, but it did not work for me at all in one year trying. Thank you, Jason!
Wow, I wish I had a greenhouse. We just don’t have the right land for one.
Loved the video. But my head was spinning. The video is so shaky!! Can you please make sure you move the camera a little slower? Thanks!
Yeah, it was a bit too fast & the camera didn't have a chance to focus. But in Jason's defense, I feel certain that he was trying to show us everything that was interesting & while keeping the video length between 10-15 minutes. I'm sure he knows this because he edited the footage. But nevertheless, I found this INTERESTING! Seeing the mother plants up close gave a great picture of what these cuttings will grow into. I hope he decides to do more of these types of videos - they're fascinating to me. 💚💚💚👍😀
@@janetleeharrison I agree. I loved the content too. I hope he does a better job of focusing the camera next time. Looking forward to seeing more such content.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm probably not the right guy for handheld footage - just too much moving around. I've ordered a gimbal to help with stabilization - and using it will probably slow my movement a bit too.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks Jason!
I may have missed this in your video but I am very curious what kind of success % an approach like this would get? Would you expect close to 100%?
We count on about 97% for most crops, but there are always a few difficult plants that fall below the standard.
hi jason. greetings from ca, usa so this question may be irrelevant. do you know how much it took to set up this type of facility? i just want a general ballpark. thanks
Sorry - it was probably 25-30 years ago, and the ownership has changed. I don't have a number I can give you.
What resource do you use to make sure a variety is not patented? Is there a website with all the current patented plants?
Thank you
It's not as centralized as that. I usually google the trade name and the word patent eg "hydrangea miss saori patent" and the patent office is often in the first few results. The length of the patent is 20 years. This isn't foolproof, because some of the patents aren't as easy to find with a simple search (non-US patents can be harder to find). For the plant I mentioned in this video, I had to search an online document/journal from Australia I think. For roses (my main thing) helpmefind.com will often provide the patent date and status.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Great information, Thank You!
👏👏👏👏👏
Is that electric heating mats on table?
Hi Jeannie. No - the bench heat is provided by a boiler, and distributed by a network of pumps and water pipes.
Hi Jason, I forgot to ask, is there such a thing as a bad seed? You know, the ones that won't germinate even if you keep the soil moist? We were wondering why some seeds bought online won't sprout while others would (from a different seller). I read that you should presoak them in warm water. I also read that some very old seeds found coincidentally were still viable. I don't know how true is that. Thank you for your opinion.
@@jrowe9301 thank you!
Hi Raymund. Yes, seed viability varies a lot depending (mainly) on the age and proper storage of the seeds. Tomato seeds stored dry can be viable for quite a long time, but peppers I've found are much more perishable.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you very much!
Hi Jason, with so many plants rooting, how would you manage to sell all of them? Or is it the supply for the whole year? Thank you!
Hi Raymund - this is just the beginning. We continue to successively fill those mist benches for the next 6 weeks. I'd never be able to sell them without a sales and distribution team, and 30+ years worth of customer relationships. I know (from my own business) how "out of reach" this scale of production can seem, but you just have to keep in mind that it took many years and many small steps to build a wholesale business this size.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks! We still have a long way to go!
How do you pinch plants at that scale?
We have a machine pruner - runs the trays on a belt with oscillating blades. Maybe I'll see if I can get some footage of it running.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks for the great info and taking your time to reply. Good to see good things happening to good people. Glad to hear you business is doing well.
which country?
We're in western Canada
If I can put 1000 like ; I would do it,, thank u very much dear
