While in lockdown took many cuttings from my garden lavender plants a month ago. Now have so many that we are supplying our neighbours. Thanks for your wonderful video.
By far the best lavender propagation video! You really go through each step thoroughly! I have learnt so much from your video. Just did my first cuttings! Thank you so much.
The plastic bin idea is genius. I was about to lose hope when you started talking about bringing the cutting inside with a humidity dome but then I saw what you were using. A plastic bin and lid, I do have!!! I'll be doing this with my lavender this weekend, thank you!
Good luck Alysa. Let me know how it goes. If you're doing this in northern hemisphere, be patient. I find that cuttings started in the fall are much slower to root than those I began in spring.
This is so useful. I have a piece of the boulevard in front of my house that I plan to plant in lavender, so this will be a good option, since it's City land so I don't want to spent a ton on multiple plants. Great instruction. Thanks.
This is a very clear and concise video, I really like the way the content is presented. I look forward to making cuttings of my lavender plants this spring based on the information I got here.
😌 Lavender touches four of our five senses; sight, smell, touch taste, and hearing. While sitting amongst my lavender bushes and a gentle rain begins to fall it’s a party for all five senses! 😊🕊
thanks so much! i followed your advice last year to save a dying lavender plant ! just rewatched this to repeat for more lavender varieties and for a rosemary plant! can’t wait to see the results in 2 months time 😊
Found my guru....first video I've watched of yours...just very informative EVERY STEP of the process...no longer do I have to search and watch different videos...ur the only one for me...tysvm
Just found your page. Amazingly I was looking how to grow Rose's from hips and propagate lavender. I've done a lot previously but was spoiled living in coastal southern Calif. Literally no winter. Retired to high desert with extremes at both ends and at 4K feet. But there is tons of naturalized, natives, wild things here. Many neighbors with unkempt yards..lets just say they let the plants do their thing... are actually ripe for taking with their permission. I saw an overgrown rose Bush today hanging over a wall with hips all over and some on the ground. Even more interesting because we do get a winter here some people grow closer to English cottage garden in a native way. English lavendar does thrive here. A lady started a lavender ranch. Dries it. Makes oil. I only have one plant so far. Want to get more as we have 3/4 acre yard with nothing but a few trees. Glad to find your channel!
Pull off a heel from a main stem, trim off the upper leaves and shove it into a pot of multi-purpose peat-free compost outside, keeping the compost moist. Next spring you will have new plants. No hormone powder, perlite or fancy light boxes needed.
Stumbled upon your channel - Yep - fabulously clear, concise, and consumable information. I'm a fan. I'm starting lavender now per your example/instructions. We'll see how it goes! Fingers crossed!
You are so delicate in handling your sticks for propagation and so thorough. As always, Jason, it’s a pleasure to receive your instruction. We’re it possible two go back in time I definitely would dedicate my full-time to gardening. Thank you Jason.
Hi Jason. I don't have lavender but I watched your video anyway. I like all you need to know kinda vids with great demos. I also really appreciate you using "degrees celcius". So many channels don't. Thanks!
Thank you for teaching, I have just found you and I don't feel so scared to take cuttings. I am going to prepare to get cuttings from my old and neglected lavender plant before I lay it to rest next year.
Mind blow! This is amazing. I've never used a rooting hormone. I subbed so I can see the follow-up videos. What a clever trick to use the clear tote as a cloche.
Jason Thanks for the amazing videos! You have inspired me to build a propagation center and to mass produce cuttings. I currently have over 200 cuttings! Greetings from Texas!
A great video, I love lavender and roses I am creating a fragrant, garden on a tight budget so videos like yours are a godsend and worth their weight in gold! I really appreciate your help and time to share them! Thank you.
You bet - and I see you're starting some lavender production yourself! Way to go. Interesting that you've gone with the large grow bags to get started. I'd be interested to hear about your planning.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm we aren’t in a spot yet where we can permanently plant in the ground, so we decided large grow bags would work well as we’re learning - room to grow, good drainage, and potentially transportable when the time comes.
Your videos are so relaxing, so filled with information, and essentially timeless. This particular one I've watched about a million times, and while I know your subscribers tell you all the time how perfectly concise and well thought out your videos are, I just have to say it again! You really are the BEST at conveying what we need to know in ways that make gardening so much less of a mystery! I could listen to you speak on just about any subject, but I'm so grateful that gardening and growing plants are your passion! Thank you again and again! Oh shoot, one quick question... did you get all the cuttings you stuck from just that one plant (in the middle) that you showed us at the beginning? That was A LOT of cuttings!
I have watched 2 of your videos and my mind is blown! Great tip about using the storage bins for humidity 👌I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos, :)
The rooting happens SO MUCH FASTER in Spring than in the fall! I've had some lavender cuttings stuck for about 3 weeks, and while I can see some rooting, it's no where near as much as you have at 2 weeks. I did assume this would be the case, but I only learned about rooting plants in August. I hope these will do okay, but I look forward to using what I've learned next spring. Thanks for all your help!
You advised me that Fall lavendar cuttings would work, just take longer to root. I'm happy to say that I had 95% success thanks to your good instruction. January now and they are ready to up pot. 😊
Thank you for your videos. I realize how wrong I was going everything for taking cuttings and rooting them. I love your step by step instructions and taking steps to correct my mistakes. Thank you thank you thank you. 🙏🏾💕🙏🏾
Great video, right on point, Jason as always. These “grow from cuttings videos” are difficult because even if you follow the procedure to a T, it’s impossible to duplicate the care after the cutting is dropped in the soil. I feel most of us fail at taking proper care of the cutting and as a result we lose the cutting either due to too much humidity (therefore fungal growth) or too little humidity (therefore drying out) or too much watering (root rot) or too little watering. It’s just hard to know what the proper care is. I guess it comes with experience, after you lose so many cuttings
Thank you for this video. I have had a lavender plant for many years now. I think it is French Lavender - it has blueish flowers rather than the reddish ones and I like it better. We have had a very wet summer with recent extreme rain and floods and it appears to be suffering, even though it is planted on top of a low retaining wall of concrete blocks. I took some cuttings the other day and now realize I have not done them well. So I have modified the ones I did and will take some more. The plant (what is left of it) is flowering and there are not that many tips without flowers. I am just about to watch your video on growing from seed and will see if I can do that as well. I do want to keep this plant and this particular one has not appeared in local nurseries for years. Thanks for sharing.😀
I just watched your video on types of laveder and I think the one I've got is Lavendula dentata - it very definitely has the toothed leaves, is grey and the flowers do not have a very strong smell. It seems to work better in my garden except obviously when we have excessive rain. tfs
I LOVE this video. I've bought lavender time after time from big box stores and they die every time! I can grow anything else but that. agrrrr....Going to try the rooting. AWESOME Jason, as usual.
Any chance that every time you refer to certain lavender that you could have a picture of it and also name the 3 different types you show at the beginning? Gratefully appreciate everything you've shown so comprehensive and professional!
Great demo and advice. I now have confidence to strike some of my favourite lavender into new plants. Looking forward to seeing the use of containers for the lavender as I want to have mine in raised beds that will form a low "wall" . Thanks for your help!
Some new top growth have stopped misting and opened the rotational hole vents fully , looks like their taking , its happening lol increasing air flow through lifting lids slipping pencil underneath , lavender and rosemary are my nemesis when it comes to cutting failures haha going to post to my Instagram ainsworth.Joshua when I have the guts to see if we have roots
I have several old lave der plants that are too large for their area and very woody. I'm very excited to take cuttings and hopefully replace the parent plants with their babies this summer! Thanks for all of the useful information - I'm off to the nursery tomorrow to get rooting hormone and soil!!! 😃
I just realized I heard the accent then Fraser valley. I we t to your webpage then looked on map. My parents Scottish. Moved to England where sister and I boen. Off to Vancouver BC age 2 to 7. Then to Anaheim calif. USA. I always feel more Canadian even though I'm 65 now. Wish my parents had stayed. Wish closer I'd be getting plants. Meanwhile greatly appreciate the videos. Good luck in future.
I was envying the southern California climate, then I read in another of your comments that you're now in a high desert area . I bet that has some challenges! Probably fairly nice for lavender though.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm yes very challenging. But the lavender didnt even die with 2 days snow on it. Unique area. Home if Mt Whitney. Tallest USA continental mountain. Small town but usually high tourist. Hard times. This town is also where they made all the westerns with John Wayne! I'm so excited to try roses. They do well here. Even dying back to ground. One large estate has gone to ruin because grandkids are living off inventions of the grandfather. But many roses are left to climb over the walls. The rose hips are on the ground now. I'm sure no one cares if I take those and a few cuttings. Its super windy here at times between two mountain ranges so cant have tent like greenhouses but working out an area to have a nursery shelf by a window in my sewing studio. I was mainly in coastal Calif. I did the 2 liter soda bottle thing right in the ground there for geraniums etc. I was spoiled. But will learn this area. That big house had a giant glass greenhouse too but it's all busted up now. I'm watching all your videos now. Thanks for replying.
Hi...ive tried so many times to propagate lavender and save cuttings..with no success..YET..im still eager to keep trying..i guess timing is a key!thank you
Outstanding video,very informative with no annoying music or background distraction. Can you elaborate on the bark mix you use for the transplant.Thanks.
Hi Allister - it's a prepared mix (Promix) I used for propagation. The brand will vary from market to market, but the important thing is that it's not a fertilized potting mix and it drains well
Thank you for the videos. I'm a lavender farmer (Grosso to oil only) and it has been about 15 years since I propagated and planted. I wanting to help a class of 4th and 5th graders (I'm also a teacher) propagate lavender. We are in the beginning of the school year and my lavender has just been harvested/pruned. I have learned that I can taken cuttings from my Grosso plants now so kids can plant these and watch the growth I the fall. Do you see any problem with this and do you have advice? Thanks!!
Sorry to break in off topic. On another of your wonderful videos you briefly mentioned something about unique characteristics of growing Mexican mint marigold from seed. I started some along with French marigold mixed colors. The former is performing poorly while the Frenchies are stupendous. What is my problem? Thanks.
I bet that Outlander has been great for advertising. Jk, thank you for providing consistent propagation information. If I lived locally, I’d definitely use Fraser Valley Rose .🙏🙏💗💗
Wow! Finally ! I've been looking for this for a long time, because I can't successfully grow lavender cuttings. A very good explanation about growing lavender cuttings! Usually they don't show the results and that is clearly the case here. 2 important questions :1) can you name a brand of the right cutting soil? The right cutting soil seems to me to be one of the most important things. I can't find pine bark mix here. 2) when is the best time to take the cuttings? Greetings from Belgium
The best time I find is when they're in early vegetative growth before flowering (or after flowering but before the next flush). Soil is tricky because what's available in Canada might not be so easy to find in Belgium. My composted bark mix works fine, but I've also worked with a peat-perlite mix and a coir-based prop mix. So long as they're relatively free draining and hold a good amount of air they're good for the job.
I've never heard anyone explain *why* you choose certain stalks for cuttings over others, that's really helpful. Thank you for the fantastic info!
My pleasure Rose
While in lockdown took many cuttings from my garden lavender plants a month ago. Now have so many that we are supplying our neighbours. Thanks for your wonderful video.
Fantastic - making the neighbourhood a better place!
That's awesome!
DId you propogate them indoors?
I appreciate your no nonsense, get down to business instructional videos. You attention to detail and comparisons are helpful!
Your videos are so comprehensive, educational, informative and so very peaceful and pleasant to listen to. You are a very talented grower.
Thanks so much Maggie! I appreciate the encouragement.
You are No.1 plant propagation guru !
Oh my goodness! What a good hack with the storage tub!!!! Love your videos! Thank you!
My BF got me lavender cuttings because he knows I love propagating & free gifts from Mother Earth. Really hope they root for me! 🤗🤞🏽
How thoughtful of him! Good luck

So long as they're relatively free draining and hold a good amount of air they're good for the job.
Hi Jason- 😊 I think I got the timing wrong but I will try again.many thanks
