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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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 😊
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!
😌 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! 😊🕊
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
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!
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
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.
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. 🙏🏾💕🙏🏾
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
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!
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. 😊
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!
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!!! 😃
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
Thank you so much for your video! I’m a beginner and find it hard to figure out the soil differences. Could you do a video on planting your new lavender, and how many cuttings your using per pot? Or each cutting is a separate plant? Sorry if this is a stupid question 😆
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
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 .🙏🙏💗💗
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.
Oh my goodness! What a good hack with the storage tub!!!! Love your videos! Thank you!
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.
I'm so glad. Good luck with your cuttings!
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

You are No.1 plant propagation guru !
Your videos are always so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to teach us so much about plants. I appreciate your efforts.
Straight to the point👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I appreciate your teaching. That mountain in the background is beautiful
First time on this channel. Your property looks absolutely stunning with the mountains in the background 🥰
I really appreciate how lovely and clear your video tutorials are - most helpful! Thanks.
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.
i like how you wear a purple shirt for making a lavender related video :)
Tianyu SHEN coincidence? I think not 🤔🤔🤔
I didn't notice that at first lol it is awesome!

thoroughly enjoy your no waffle videos,very informative. great idea with the tub and lid and i like how you explain why in certain situations.
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.
One of my favorite plants. A must have in any garden that has dry sunny hot conditions.
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.
Thanks for sharing your method - lots of ways to succeed!

Thanks so much. No - and just from memory, I think I was only able to get around 80 or 90 cuttings from the one plant.
Very helpful videos the way you explain is very clear and easily understood for a beginner. Love your videos thank you☺️

Thanks Denise - I do the celsius pretty naturally, but I really have to remind myself to convert to F for my American friends
Thanks for the video. I love lavender and will continue to watch your videos and try to grow some. 🦋💕
Thanks Joanne. Good luck

This is the best video with a good example.
I will try to do the same in a couple of days
thank👍👍👍
I wish you luck!
Sorry I didn't run across this fantastic tutorial on starting lavender. Great job
Thank you for sharing it's always nice to propagate the right way. For those who have patients it pays off especially if your on a budget.
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, :)
Thanks for the video.Very helpful.I just tried growing some from a cutting,was not successful,now I know what I did wrong.Thanks again.
My pleasure. I wish you luck on your next batch
I share alot of your videos with our Mochigan based Flower Group. Great instruction that's easy to follow!
Thanks Lizzo
Wow, I watched about 20 lavender videos, and this is by far the best.
Thanks so much!

Loved your video I am new with lavender Just started one this year . I didn't know you could do this with lavender!
Thanks Amanda - nice to hear you're getting into lavender. I'm loving a few new varieties this year too.
Excellent intel. Thanks again Jason.
I love watching your lavender videos! I bought several varieties of lavender today!Thank you for sharing, subscribed!😁😁😁
Wow, this info is so valuable..thanks for generously sharing your knowledge and experience in such a professional manner...
One of my favourite plants
Very detailed and a lot of information I didn't get in other videos. Great class!
Thanks!
I LOVE Lavender!! Thanks for your video.
From BC Fraser valley myself. Awesome videos! Very helpful. Especially from the same area and climate.
Thank you so much for this video! I made cuttings by your instruction this summer and had great success!
Wonderful presentation. I learned from you today. Thank you.
Been watching your chanel for a few weeks. Great information, visuals and follow up. Subscribed.
Thanks and welcome. I appreciate the feedback
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm what’s the name of the variety of lavender on the far left?
aww they're adorable! i'm just starting out on my lavender which i bought a week ago.. i hope i can grow them big enough to propagate
Thank you! I'm about to go get some cuttings from my neighbors plant 😃
Clear concise instructions. Thanks!
My pleasure. Glad to help.
Your clear explanations are invaluable. Keep it up 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the encouragement
Thanks so much for sharing! I have heavy clay soil so I haven't tried it much here in the northeast.
Thanks Cheryl. Mine too (heavy soil) but I'm going to try to defy the odds.
O
I can't wait to try this!
Extremely focussed and to the point tips got 50 lavender and rosemary cuttings in their propogators , hoping at least a third come good
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
Great video...very detailed information. And the technique you use is super efficient!
Very helpful indeed!
your video about lavender cuttings is beautiful
Thanks definitely going to follow the process, 👍❤️😊

Excellent video with super clear instructions
Thank you for this video! Great resource for info!
I do like the clone method in that the the cutting produce uniform plants! Cool!
What a great video! Ive propagated lavender before but this video is fool proof! 🙏 thank you!
Thanks Billy. And all it took was a fool (me) to prove it! Now you know it works for sure.

Such a good idea for a humidity dome. Why didnt I come up with that?! 🤪
I use packages our local baker puts.cookies in to sell ...hehehe...love his cookies...works great on my seeds..i.gave up on cuttings where im at.
