Muchas gracias. Lo ideal es mantenerlos entre 24-26 centígrados y con la humedad adecuada. En esas condiciones, en 2-3 semanas empiezan a desarrollar raíces.
Thank you gave clear easy with step by step teaching. As I am very new to planting anything. I got my brown Turkey cuttings about a month ago. I used indoor method and all cuttings show good rooting system. Thanks and God bless.
I've found that bottom heat with a moist sand medium and the cuttings in pot of pro. Mix gives a highest percentage for me. Light fertilizer in 2 months up pot in 3 month. I love your videos very informative! Thanks
I really like the way you approach this experiment. For me, experimenting is part of the fun of gardening. You also explained well. I applaud you for that. Some people don't waste time messing about with potting mix. They simply laid the cuttings on its side, just like you did with them in the plastic boxes. However, they go straight into the ground. Grape vines, mulberry and gooseberry can be done this way. I think their do have good soils to begin with.
Thank you for you great teaching; I always learning. The dry out maybe able to avoid it if just remove the caps of the bottles to slowly introduce the change to the new environment, a good practice anytime.
I will be trying with purchased cuttings for the first. Thank you SO much for taping these different rooting methods. VERY useful to me. So many methods shown on TH-cam with each one saying they are best. It was difficult to decide which method to use.
I used to use the clear cup method it worked great but going to the fig pop method. Lots of videos online of it. Works the same except you can get more then twice the cutting in the same space.
Very good job! My mentions: The mother cutting has to be no younger than 1 year and no older than 3-4 years. Preferable a winter grown part of a branch cutting (knots are closer one to each other). Instead rooting agent I used aloe mucus also effective!
They are all great tips regarding cuttings and I follow them when I harvest cuttings from my trees. Unfortunately, when I want other varieties, I have to work with what I get. Some of the cuttings I receive, of some rare varieties, are far from ideal and I have to try to root them anyway. So, we also have to learn to root 2-3 year old cuttings, cuttings of larger diameter, etc.. Thanks for the comment.
@@JSacadura BTW: I took a lot of samples from Spain, Portugal, Greece, even Bulgaria. Greek ones have very good rooting and stamina and resistance, but not too productive. I'll try to graft on them some other varieties... Keep in touch!

Hello, can you please tell me what is the difference between the CLONEX liquid hormones for rooting, and the powder hormone and which I should use for my cuttings??? Thank you for your videos and the education of how to do it with succes!!! God bless you.
Merci beaucoup pour ces informations. Maintenant, je vais essayer selon votre exemple . Que Dieu vous bénisse. De Paris. Thanks for those informations. Now it is time for me . I take example. God bless from Paris.
thank you for your technical and scientific description of the different methods. Is the rooting hormone a necessity? The coco coir, is it the same as coco peat? Do you just use ordinary tap water to moisten the soil?
Is the rooting hormone a necessity? Not, really. It just speeds up the process. So the cuttings don't have to stay for longer periods in damp mixes and the chances of rotting are reduced. But you can live without them. Check my video "Are rooting hormones really necessary? - th-cam.com/video/H9xcnJU18Xk/w-d-xo.html" to know more. The coco coir, is it the same as coco peat? Yes. Do you just use ordinary tap water to moisten the soil? I might use it if i don't have a choice, but only after a period of rest, so the chlorine has a chance of evaporating. Nevertheless, other disinfectant compounds may still be present. So, I prefer to use well water or even rain water (if its not too acidic).
Buenas tardes, sacadura. Hay alguna manera de hacer esquejes de kaqui / persimon?. Lo he intentado en varias ocasiones y no me enrraizan . Gracias por todas sus enseñanzas. Saludos desde Extremadura
with the multiple process of several cuttings in the small transparent totes....why not try leaving the soil around the roots (instead of tapping it off) as this will help in the transition process of the fledgling fig cuttings into separate pots and prevent shocking the roots
Thank you very much for these instructional videos. I am currently trying to find out how to propagate Michelia alba (ie White Champaca), I searched online and was informed that the successful rate (from cuttings) is very low. However I heard that some professionals can still propagate this way. I am eager to find out how. Have you ever tried on it before? appreciate your instructions.
I have no experience propagating the plant you mention but I would air layer it (the simplest method). Regarding rooting, the results will probably be better in late summer or early fall using active growing stem cuttings. The same method I used for Lemon verbena in this video - th-cam.com/video/Y1EInIVVZdA/w-d-xo.html
My best results were with the coco coir in a box inside, although I had a few that I stuck here and there in the ground outside come up. I failed when I potted them up though and lost all but 2, I think I used too heavy of potting soil and rotted the roots. I grafted a lot of the same stuff to a big tree outside and all of my grafts but 1 took.
Hi, Jared. That's one of the main problems with rooting directly on the ground. The roots don't like the potting mixes (light or heavy). I even tried placing the rooted cutting in a pot with the soil where it rooted but, the problem with this approach, is that this soil is usually too heavy and the water doesn't drain well. I might try a combination of soil and perlite or coarse sand, the next time I pot them up. Grafting is my safety measure for important varieties (it doesn't fail).
That might work. Nevertheless, I prefer pre-rooting in coco coir as my main approach for precious and rare varieties. I only try other options when I have lots of cuttings of some varieties and I don't want to use all the Coco Coir and Parafilm that would be needed (and indoor space).
i tried some dogwood cuttings.... 40% sand 30% perlite 30% cactus soil.....its been about 12 days... so far. about 60 % are showing signs of growth.... and will try to keep them in the same soil for some time... my first attempt i put them in potting soil after about a month and all died from root rot.... too much moisture
Dear Sir, thank you for your sharing 👍👌. May I know why do you need to cover with the plastic sheet or the half cut plastic bottle? Anyway I will try some of your method, cheers from Malaysia. 🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌💪💪💪
I'd like to see a video of your favorite Common Type figs for taste and production. I'm in north Texas and I'm not sure how similar our climates are. Theres an Italian guy who sells about 60 varieties within an hours drive of me. I have a Celeste I planted in 1988 and its huge. It's the biggest fig tree I've personally seen and delicious. I dehydrate them and store them in my fridge. It's a job keeping the fig eating birds away.
Hi, James. I have all the intention of doing that. Unfortunately, this year is being quite atipical. We had cold, followed by several very hot days in early spring, and cold again.Most of the fruit trees are having an erratic behavior and probably production will be scarce this year (loquats and apricots are having a wonderful year, while plums, peaches, apples and pears have very little fruit). Fig trees seem affected too (some don't have a single fig until now). Also, Profichi in the south were virtually wiped out by the warm spell (the fig trees still had no leaves when it happened), so this year I have no chance of receiving a few Profichi to pollinate my Smyrna varieties. In a few more weeks we will see if I can make the video I was planning.
@@JSacadura I have loads of plum, peach, apple, pears and figs but no apricots. Apricots are said to make a crop 1 in every 4 years average for most of Texas by the Ag Professors at TAMU. We dont have the fig wasp for pollination so the common type figs that need no pollination are what we grow. Celeste, Texas Everbearing, Brown Turkey, Alma and LSU Purple are the main varieties recommended here with Celeste said to be the best tasting and most cold hardy for our climate.
I am in a low chill area, so most apricots trees don't produce well here (only a few fruits in colder years). But I managed to plant a few varieties that do and I have several trees. Some, even produce every year (but they are not the best). Real apricots (smaller) tend do crop biannually in my area. In this very atypical year, their production was very good and their taste is excellent. I also don't have the fig wasp over here. But a good friend sends me some Profichi, full of wasps every year. Unfortunately, that won't be possible this year (all the Profichi were lost with the heat wave in his area) so, my wonderful Smyrna varieties won't produce a single fig.
@@JSacadura Pois aqui no Algarve tenho uma figueira carregada ao máximo, figos microscópicos e para piorar, caem no chão antes de amadurecer. A 7 quilómetros tenho duas ou três figueiras e ao lado umas dezenas de figo de seca. Não estive muito atento mas pareceu-me que não têm nada. Vou meter oliveiras e nalgum espaço, uns quantos medronheiros a ver no que vai dar.
Hi.. one small doubt.. if the cutting is fully covered with parafilm, will it produce new leaves..? Or do we need to cover the cutting with parafilm by leaving the node area for sprout.?
I usually root them in coco coir and use a rooting hormone (like Clonex), but you can use a light potting mix. Just be sure to keep the conditions warm and moist enought for roots to develop while controlling the growth of fungus (not that easy, in some situations).
Hi, Michael. It only seems like white powder in the video. Its the sand, mixed with the 2 types of soil mixes. I sometimes add lime to the pots if the mix is too acidic, to correct the pH.
@@JSacadura Thanks again. I have a question: Your accent were are you from ?My brother's best friend of many years was born in Spain 20 miles from the french border and he speaks English Spanish Bask and French. He left home in Spain when he was 18 and went to live in Australia for 3 years then moved to America and worked on a ranch in Wyoming for 8 years. Since then he's lived in Maryland as a Carpenter and is in his 70's ( I'm 67 and retired). We see Big Joe 2-3 days a week in the summer and he picks and eats cherry tomatoes and drinks a few beers for about 5 months in the summer. anyway Nobody could tell where he's from based on his accent.I'm just curious about yours because I enjoy your videos so much. As Always thanks.
Portugal - zone 9a. I usually root inside, in the winter, so young plants can start growing in the spring outside. But, provided you give the cuttings the right conditions (right temperature and humidity) and you have stored or fresh scions, you can root during other periods, also.
No es necesario. El parafilm hace un excelente trabajo protegiendo la estaquilla contra los hongos. Incluso si algunos hongos crecen en el coco (solamente cuando está demasiado húmedo), las hifas no pueden penetrar el parafilm y el hongo se puede eliminar fácilmente.
Where do you source your cuttings from? I currently live in Asia, and I have problems getting cuttings here. Is there a site online that you can recommend?
Check my earlier videos on rooting. They have that information. I usually root indoors in late winter/early spring with a constant temperature of around 24ºC. In this video I was more concerned with comparing the methods and failed to give that information. The rooting was done in early spring with normal spring temperatures for my area (zona 9a) - 14-18ºC max. and 0-6ºC min. in average, for all methods.
Do you find better successful rooting by air layer in water is better than root by cutting and plant in coco coir? Or does it depends on monocot and dicot?
Parafilm is a wax based tape that the buds have no problem breaking through. Don't use plastic as an alternative as it also doesn't allow the cuttings tissues to breath. Its best not to wrap the cuttings and try to maintain a very slightly humid atmosphere so the upper part of the cutting doesn't dry out (the main purpose of using the parafilm).
@@JSacadura Thanks for your advice. You helped me a lot the bff cutting is arriving on monday and if am going to order a parafilm online it will arrive in five days. And i need to preserve the cutting from drying out. Ok i will not cover it with saran wrap just put in a slightly humid spot in my house as it roots. Thanks again 👍
I order mine from Amazon or Ebay. You can order from Womack Nursery also. Some guys use orange shellac on scions to prevent dehydration but I've always used parafilm.
Like, James, I ordered recently a box of Parafilm (6 rolls) from Amazon. Plastic is not a good option as it doesn't let the cutting "breath", like the Parafilm does.
@@JSacadura Amazon Australia does not stock seem to stock parafilm and nursery suppliers only sell green coloured parafilm used on flowers(?). Freight from Amazon America for genuine parafilm is $40 about USD. My main problem is I dont really know what I am buying. Many sellers on both Australian Amazon & Ebay are selling rolls of what look like plastic clingwrap cut to 25mm and selling it as "Parafilm" with the same expensive price as US parafilm. Is there a part number on your box of 6 rolls? What are the dimensions of your rolls? Many thanks Greg
Search Amazon America for "Parafilm Nursery Grafting Tape" and you will find the 6 rolls box or individual rolls for sale. I prefer the 1 inch size, but they also sell the 0.5 inch. Don't buy the green tape or the plastic tapes (much cheaper). Its not the same material.

Thank you for this experiment. Can you try using aloe vera instead of rooting hormone.
Use rooting hormone, powder or liquid, they work well. Skip the old wives tales , use what works !
9:20 why not just start them in those black pots inside (all conditions the same)?
What about just leaving the cuttings in their own medium and let them grow into the new soil?

Hi, Michael. It only seems like white powder in the video. Its the sand, mixed with the 2 types of soil mixes. I sometimes add lime to the pots if the mix is too acidic, to correct the pH.
@@JSacadura Thanks again. I have a question: Your accent were are you from ?My brother's best friend of many years was born in Spain 20 miles from the french border and he speaks English Spanish Bask and French. He left home in Spain when he was 18 and went to live in Australia for 3 years then moved to America and worked on a ranch in Wyoming for 8 years. Since then he's lived in Maryland as a Carpenter and is in his 70's ( I'm 67 and retired). We see Big Joe 2-3 days a week in the summer and he picks and eats cherry tomatoes and drinks a few beers for about 5 months in the summer. anyway Nobody could tell where he's from based on his accent.I'm just curious about yours because I enjoy your videos so much. As Always thanks.

Did you put any of the cuttings directly planted in pots on a heat mat or did just the ones in coco coir receive bottom heat?
Made my first cuttings this year. Awaiting spring now.
Good luck with your cuttings. Thanks for the comment.
Sir why the cover cutting in parafilm tape what is the benefits ?
What kind of soil u have used.. And for how long we have to keep their in soil?
Can I do this technique for other plants
Yes, you can. Many plants can be propagated by cuttings directly in the soil, in a potting mix or pre-rooted in coco coir.
Ola bom dia. Muito boa explicaçao. Un grand merci. Muito intéressante. Estou a fazer em casa. Continua e boas festas.
In which country is this being done. Would like to know which season this should be done.
Portugal - zone 9a. I usually root inside, in the winter, so young plants can start growing in the spring outside. But, provided you give the cuttings the right conditions (right temperature and humidity) and you have stored or fresh scions, you can root during other periods, also.
Nice video thnks
Danke
Boa noite. Antes de mais obrigado pelo vídeo explicativo. Qual hormona de enraizamento está a usar?
Sir Please make video on seedling and clonal Rootstocks of apple and also their propagation...detail explanation!
Una pregunta. ¿Cómo combates la aparición de hongos en los esquejes? ¿Añades algún fungicida al agua de riego o de pulverización?
No es necesario. El parafilm hace un excelente trabajo protegiendo la estaquilla contra los hongos. Incluso si algunos hongos crecen en el coco (solamente cuando está demasiado húmedo), las hifas no pueden penetrar el parafilm y el hongo se puede eliminar fácilmente.

Hi can big branch of mango tree can be used to this rooting procedure
Thnk you 🌷
My one plant stem is completely dead can I do the rooting of it in water will it survuve
Sir...what about rooting persimmon or air layering? Can you give me an idea how to propagate them?thanks
Instead of coca coir, do people have success with sphagnum moss, peat moss?
Where do you source your cuttings from? I currently live in Asia, and I have problems getting cuttings here. Is there a site online that you can recommend?
Probably best to buy from a national nursery; international shipping time will be long and usda would probably even send it back.
No
Merci.
I wish you would mention time of year, what temperatures
Check my earlier videos on rooting. They have that information. I usually root indoors in late winter/early spring with a constant temperature of around 24ºC. In this video I was more concerned with comparing the methods and failed to give that information. The rooting was done in early spring with normal spring temperatures for my area (zona 9a) - 14-18ºC max. and 0-6ºC min. in average, for all methods.
Why do you habitually uproot the seedlings by shaking the earth off to completely expose the roots like that?
verry good sir
what film are you using to wrap these?
Do you find better successful rooting by air layer in water is better than root by cutting and plant in coco coir? Or does it depends on monocot and dicot?
It is a tricky affair and may roll off your flatscreen if it is not level on bed.
When you put them to roots in the 1st method, how long it take is it 30days?
Can i use plastic cling wrap cut into one inch as an alternative to parafilm
Parafilm is a wax based tape that the buds have no problem breaking through. Don't use plastic as an alternative as it also doesn't allow the cuttings tissues to breath. Its best not to wrap the cuttings and try to maintain a very slightly humid atmosphere so the upper part of the cutting doesn't dry out (the main purpose of using the parafilm).
@@JSacadura
Thanks for your advice. You helped me a lot the bff cutting is arriving on monday and if am going to order a parafilm online it will arrive in five days. And i need to preserve the cutting from drying out.
Ok i will not cover it with saran wrap just put in a slightly humid spot in my house as it roots. Thanks again 👍
Thanks for the video.
I cannot find parafilm where I live, do you think is cling wrap plastic a workable alternative?
I order mine from Amazon or Ebay. You can order from Womack Nursery also. Some guys use orange shellac on scions to prevent dehydration but I've always used parafilm.
Like, James, I ordered recently a box of Parafilm (6 rolls) from Amazon. Plastic is not a good option as it doesn't let the cutting "breath", like the Parafilm does.
@@JSacadura Amazon Australia does not stock seem to stock parafilm and nursery suppliers only sell green coloured parafilm used on flowers(?). Freight from Amazon America for genuine parafilm is $40 about USD. My main problem is I dont really know what I am buying. Many sellers on both Australian Amazon & Ebay are selling rolls of what look like plastic clingwrap cut to 25mm and selling it as "Parafilm" with the same expensive price as US parafilm. Is there a part number on your box of 6 rolls? What are the dimensions of your rolls? Many thanks Greg
Search Amazon America for "Parafilm Nursery Grafting Tape" and you will find the 6 rolls box or individual rolls for sale. I prefer the 1 inch size, but they also sell the 0.5 inch. Don't buy the green tape or the plastic tapes (much cheaper). Its not the same material.
Obrigado!
Great
What is the name of that rooting harmon
