  • These petunia cuttings are easy to propagate and saved us a ton of money. In this video, I'll show you how quickly petunias start rooting and it makes propagating these plants a lot of fun! If you have a particular petunia variety that you like, save yourself a ton of money and follow the steps I used out in the hoop house. You'll soon have more petunias than you know what to do with.

    I watched this video last spring. After seeing it I went the Wal garden center, back to their dead zone. I found four little sad dying petunia pots marked down to less than $1 each. I took them home and cut off every possible twig. I made about 15 to 18 pots including the four original pots. All but one or two survived and I repotted them in bunches placed them around my yard. I think I had about seven pots. Last November there was still one pretty pink petunia blooming in the basket hanging off my back porch. Thank you. 🙂💐

      I love visiting the dead zone! I've gotten many plants that way, and even better are the ones in fancier pots. I bought half-dead mum's last fall. They came in two sorta fancy hanging baskets. I saw the same containers this year for $10 each!
      Lowe's has a great dead zone. Home Depot will let them die and still not mark them down.

    Good video, Mike. Old retail/grower nursery person here. One trick I do is to pinch out the tiny growing tip of the cutting. That stops growth temporarily to let the energy go into making roots and by the time it is rooted there will be little side shoots coming. I also do that with the petunias in baskets and pots to keep them from getting too leggy. I just pinch the new very tiny tips of the growing stem, preserving any coming tiny bloom buds. I just randomly pinch the tiny tips over about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the plant. Big growers to this chemically. By doing this carefully, the baskets stay bushy and full and still have lots of bloom. Pinch a few every two to three weeks, or as the plants start to get a little leggy. Grow on!

    I learned this working in a nursery. This is how we would create our hanging baskets. We fill the basket with potting soil. Then we take 3 different colors of plants and take cuttings. We place them in baskets sporadically and let them go. In 2 months they are nice and full!

      Perfect timing, Mike. I got a beautiful petunia for Mother's Day and the branches are about 2 feet long. I was just going to prune it back and toss them. After seeing your video I decided to propagate all the cuttings. After all this petunia has the largest pink flowers for a petunia that I've ever seen, so I would like to have it in different areas. It is close to the color of the Queen Elizabeth rose. The foliage seems to be larger than normal too. Thanks for this video, preventing me from wasting this beauty!!

I had read about certain petunia varieties and how they do wonders in that respect but when I looked at the price per unit it was sobering. It is now early March and my local nursery said the petunias are coming. I am SO doing this! I had luck propagating African violets in the past so why not these? I just did not know that petunias could be propagated relatively fast this way. Many thanks!

I went to the nursery yesterday and bought some petunias and a few geraniums ( the geraniums had a little cold damage from our 11* mornings last week, so for 1.00 each I have nothing to lose) to try my hand at propagating them with you in mind.
    My pocket book thanks you!

    We used to spend a hundred or more on bedding plants. Not any more. It is amazing what you can propagate with your method. Last year we propagated geraniums. Just pull your plants up in the fall, cut off the cuttings, start them the way you demonstrated. Pot them up when they are big enough. Then take cuttings off of your cuttings and start them, and by spring for every plant you started with you will have 20 or 30 plants. I have also started perennials this way including, mock orange, lavender, hydrangeas, just about anything. Beats the $15 per pot on those guys. You can also make a little money on the side.

    • @silverfoxes65

      Just takes time and space under the lights. That means I can't grow as many vegies indoors or I have to get more lights. Last year I converted my fluorescent shop lights into led's. The power usage was cut in half. So, maybe more lights for less cost. I'll try to sell that to my wife.

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I'm considering doing the same this year and I also have to convince my wife. Led's are more expensive up front but last longer and cost less in power. See, now I'm trying to convince myself, haha!

    • @silverfoxes65
      @silverfoxes65 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mike, any old fluorescent fixture will work. Order the 110 Vac, single ended bulbs with extra tombstones and you will be in business. Basically you gut the boxes, wire 110vac to one of the tombstones and that is it. Doing Lights of America shop fixtures is a little tricky, but I managed to do 4 of them, and they all work. I buy the bulbs by the dozen, here's a link, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DJT1DU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Don't have a link for the extra tombstones as I didn't get them, but wished I had. Hope this helps. Once you do it, you will not have to worry about bulbs for years and years. They will light in the cold, another feature if you put them in your greenhouse in the spring. Hope this helps.

    You're too young to remember, but up to World War II, There was no such thing as double petunia seed. Only the very rich could have double petunias. If you wanted double petunias, you had to get them imported from growers in Japan. When your plant arrived from Japan, you didn't put it out into the garden. You planted it in a tub in your greenhouse. That was your "mother plant". Each spring, you would take cuttings from it, and these were your bedding plants. You treasured your mother plant and kept the greatest care that it was healthy and vigorous. The same thing applied to geraniums and Fuchsias. There was no true breeding seed for the better forms of these plants.
    When World War II broke out, Japan became the enemy and you could no longer import plants. That was when American seedsmen began to develop true strains of Petunia seeds. Now the majority of petunias are grown from seed.

    Thank you Mike for this tutorial, I found a black Petunia this week at a local nursery I have never seen a black one before and it is beautiful. As I had already filled the boot of the car up with plants I only bought two but after seeing your video I may see if I can expand my two into more. BTW I love Fuchsias and it made me smile you kept calling the petunias fuchsias. My husband can never remember the names of plants he asks me and I often call plants by the wrong name too so I just say they are called pretty flowers he remembers that okay!
