How We Take Clematis Cuttings On The Nursery...

- We were asked to make a little video about taking cuttings from Clematis. There are a few approaches that do well, in this video we show the way we do them, fairly early cuttings from tunnel grown plants that should root up nicely and get potted on into 9cm pots in a few weeks and then into their final 3 litre deep pot in the autumn, ready for sale next season.

This is what I was needing. Thank you.
Thank you. Fantastic explanation x
Love your presentation! So natural. I will try this with my two clematis.
Fabolous information I will be doing this with mine.Thank you Tim.
Great instructional video!
Lovely video. Eaven if i don't see the roots. But i know this way is magic
You got there in the end! Stop waffling!
We're in no rush, take your time, enjoy the experience
I love, love, love Clematis!!!!? Good show Tim. I will most definitely try some cuttings and give that a go.
Great explanation! Thank you 😊
I've had a clematis that my grandfather had until his death in the early 1970's. He obtained it in the early 1950's. I guess I'll be propagating it now I've seen your offerings.
Thanks 😎
Thanks for your very informative video. I’m going to try my best to take some cuttings, although I don’t have a greenhouse and will have to keep them in my utility room!
Put a plastic bag over them if you don't have a propagator :)
What do I do with my cuttings in the winter once they have rooted? Love your video. Thank you for sharing
PS I don't have a greenhouse or a heat pad, will cuttings still take? Indoors or out? Thanks, very informative and straight forward to watch
Thank you for this. How do we manage if we don't have a heat pad? When is it safe to put outside in the warmth of the daytime?
Sorry for the delayed reply Sue. Roots form more quickly when temperatures are around 20 or so degrees, but as long as your cuttings aren't freezing to death or baking in hot sun they are likely to be fine :)
Thank you very much , can you make video on the result of this rooting!!
Hi, yes, was thinking about that actually, I've been potting these rooted cuttings up this week.
Hi just watched this as I want to try Clematis cuttings.
There is a Clematis Montana where I work, I also have The President and General Sikorski here. Is it too late to take cuttings now? I'm in Sussex UK
I don’t have a heating pad so could I keep them in the garage for the winter ❄️
Hi very useful , and I have had 4 root and have started tp grow on has only one shoot can I pinch the top out to encourage more growth ? its about a meter high now
Hi, yes, if the growth is good pinch out about 1cm in front of a leaf node, it should double up on shoots :)
Will they root in water?
What an excellent video. Thank you. Such clear instructions. I have always failed at clematis cuttings but am determined to succeed this year! I would be interested to know what active ingredient/s are in your hormone powder if possible please?
Hi Julia. The active ingredent in the powder is indolybutyric acid, in various concentrations according to the type of powder. The brand we use is Rhizopon, their website is pretty good :)
@@timstopgardentips9634 thank you so much!
@@timstopgardentips9634 which one of the Rhizopons do you use for clematis like these?
@@Grrrnthumb normally grey or green :)
I live in Ontario Canada can I do this now in the fall.please reply…
I've just potted some cuttings 22/7 following your instructions, so fingers crossed. How long will they take to root please and what do I do to keep them watered and growing over winter? I only have a plastic 4 tier greenhouse. Would they need a fleece covering during winter? Thanks and regards.
Hope they go well for you Janet. Most Clematis should callous up and start to make roots after about 21-28 days. Once they root well you can pot them into 9cm pots to overwinter them, they will be quite hardy, but this is the most tricky stage, dont over water, and when they are dormant, just kep the soil ever so slightly moist. They'll be fine in the 4 tier over winter :)
@@timstopgardentips9634 Thank you Tim. I will keep an eye on them.
Just curious what type of plants do you grow in the cone shape planters you have hanging in your hoop house?
I have a couple I bought years ago and they have been stored in the shed waiting to be filled with some real plants as I did put fake plants in them one year because I hung them up in the kids tree house and remembering to water was a concern since I don’t go up often. Would like to do them up this year and put out front where I’ll remember.
Fuchsias or trailing petunias do well in them, or for a less sunny area, trailing begonias look sensational!
@@timstopgardentips9634
Love all 3 ideas! I’ll see if I can find trailing begonias. I have more shade areas😊
I know with some plants when they start new roots they will sacrifice the leafs to to feed new roots, so guess my question is with clematis will they take stored food from the leafs to make new roots?
Good question :) I don't know the answer to be honest, but some varieties seem keener to make new foliage more quickly than others, and those that do this, also appear to make better roots, but not in every case. New food will become available through photosynthesis of course, which would seem a more likely scenario than the roots forming through stored food, but that's a guess. At the moment I am trialling aquaponic and fogponic cloning units, and have been experimenting with leaving more foliage on some cuttings compared to normal, to see if it improves root formation. These units have plenty of moisture available to the cutting so lend themselves to leaving more foliage in place. Will make a new video about the units in due time, as initial results are extremely encouraging. Thanks for watching :)
@@timstopgardentips9634 With mine I am trying tap water only then planting when the roots are about 1/4 inch. found that when I try to start them with rooting hormones in dirt most die, so now I scrap them add bit of honey and put in water. if leafs last longer than 7 days they seem to do better at rooting. thinking hormones these days you buy no longer work. And when I do plant in dirt I keep them water logged. I have also seen videos with tap water with and without hormones and the hormones don't work in water which seems to suggest to me they no longer work in dirt either, because the old fashion homemade willow type would work in both.
Great video ! Is Clematis "Snowdrift" as easy to propagate as the Jackmanii ?
Hi Luke. The evergreen Armandii types are notoriously difficult to propagate, with less than half of the cuttings taking normally. This last season I have been trying an aquaponic cloning system with very good results on armandii types, so maybe that will make them more viable. I'll be doing a new video about the aquaponic system when cuttings season kicks off again in the spring
@@timstopgardentips9634 I've been propagating a ton of clematis cuttings, hope I get lucky! Amazing video thanks.
How long before roots appear?
About 21 days normally, but can take longer
What is the next step
Once they are rooted, pot them into a 9cm round pot, and wait till the roots show before putting ontona 3L deep pot for a few months, then plant out :)
Can you spell the type of clematis
Jackmanii
@@lialoppe67 thank you :) One of my favourites is also a Jackman, called Mrs George Jackman, a repeat flowering white with subtle creamy appeal :)
Too slow not bothering to view
TL:DR
