I got a firefly petunia, amazing plant. It got beat up real bad in shipping and looks like trash in light (still good looking in the dark) Thanks for the video, about to have 4 or 5 of em now.
Lol bro here for the same reason
@@BatteDR0ID5 Best of luck to ya, mine seem to be handling the process so far.
Here for the same reason lol I got mine mid April and holy cow are they growing well. It's getting huge and now I'm gonna have MORE!!!
Me as well!
The company doesnt want us to propagate them but who cares. Just dont get caught selling them
Ya got me all excited watching this, then like a reality show, you say you'll make an updated video on progress, lol! LOVE it. I'm headed to Home Depot after watching the rest of your videos. Yippee, something to look forward to. I needed this:) Subscriber from Florida.
I am definitely going to do this because I love petunias! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much , you explain everything very clearly. Best video I’ve come across and I will continue to follow you. I’m watching from Melbourne Australia !
Cheers
Would love to see an update on these! So cool
This is wonderful. Thank you. Much love for sharing.
Where is the follow up video?
I'm a new subscriber here. Looking forward to learning from you more. I just bought some last Saturday and I'm gonna propagate them and start a business out of them.
Amazing video!!!
First time growing Petunias They're beautiful flowers and hopefully it will make thru next summer. Since I live in a desert summer here is brutal with temperature up to 120 degrees. For now it's looking beautiful. I'm surfing through Channels to care for my babies. Although this is not the right video I'm looking it's okay I'm learning something here as well.
I luv petunia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for clearly explaining why you need to cut off the flowers, peel off the bottom leaves to expose the cambium layer, etc.
I've never tried propagating petunias, but I'm willing go give it a try. 👍
Have fun!!
Hi! Thank you! Great info
I have always grown petunias for seed but I am now going to try this method. Thank you for this video. Happy gardening.
This will be so much faster :) as part of the experiment I have already found that cuttings under 2” have a hard time retaining moisture and the leaves has dried up, everything else that is larger than that has been doing great!
Is that ok to propagate even the weather getting hot. I would like to try your method plus my first time thank you
Thanks! I'm going to do this!
Very good vid! Clear, no nonsense, no extraneous noise, chatter. First rate!
Thank you so much for this video you explain really well ! I've watch several videos before coming across yours and it was a waste of time. Learned a lot from you. I'm in a country where it's difficult to find petunias and if I do, I can't have 2 of the same colours or I have to buy blindly without knowing which colour it'll be, so your video is really useful.
Thanks
Very easy idea.
Cheers mate!
Started out my first ever about 5m ago, hope it grows :)
HOW DID IT GROW? :)
As so many times before I was a complete failure, but seriously, thanks for asking@@ExpeditionHomestead, good looking out!
Sometimes it feels like Mr. Simpson was right, when he stated;
"Trying is the first step towards failure"
That said, I have since moved balcony and have a fairly new cutting growing right now, this one seems to be doing a lot better than my previous attempt.
Then of course, I didn't really try with this one, you know?
Go figure, right..? :)
Thank u
Very very nice 👍
What zone? What time of year? How long for the cutting to grow to a full flowering size?
Hello friend!😊can you make a video on how to plant petunia seeds and to take care it so that it will grow healthy and faster thank you very much..!🌱☀️😊😊
Can't wait to try this!! Thanks for the video, really informative :)
Nice vid! I’m excited to do this. But I don’t have rooting hormone, is there any home remedies or alternative that I wud find home, heard cinnamon powder or turmeric helps, what do u think?
Thank you this is very helpful. I bought 4 baskets of flowers for Mother’s Day and they included this beautiful plant. I had to check out if I could propagate more. Thank to you sharing and teaching me something new I’m gonna give it a try. I make garden videos too. I hope we can learn more from each other!
Wonderful! Im glad this video was helpful to you :) oh awesome! I will definitely check out your channel
What’s the latest time in the year to propagate petunias, and how long, on average, does it take before you can pot them on (like into hanging baskets)?
Takes around 3-4 months so about 3-4 months before the first cold waves in your area
I feel it depends on the type of petunia you're dealing with. I got some awesome Night Sky petunias from Bonnie and they took off after I planted them in a hanging basket, I put them in with some Supertunias and they are overgrowing those things. I wanted more and sure enough no more at the store so decided to take some cuttings. I just stick them in red solo cups with holes poked in the bottoms, keep them inside right in front of my sliding door for the back deck, water daily using a turkey baster, and after 7 days I could tell they rooted and were growing, 14 days later I transplanted in a big 18" urn and they took off from there. It's now July 7th so plenty of time for them to grow. I didn't use a rooting hormone but I do slice the bottom of the stems at an angle with a razor blade which I feel makes them root quicker. I also cut 2/3rds of each leaf away, I think it makes the stem force new leaves quicker instead of trying to keep the old leaves full. I could be wrong but l did this when growing Marijuana plants and it worked great so copied it with petunias.
Where did you get that tray from thanks
Never saw an update. How’d it go?
Good reviews for petunia lovers.
Do they want cool environment or direct sunlight my friend?
They do best in full sun :)
Would this work without the rooting hormones?
How long does it take before the cuttings flower?
Hey, saw you video two weeks a go when you uploaded it and took inmeadilty cuttings from plants I got from nursery... the first flower is comming at one of the cuttings, should I also remove this flower and let it work on developing more rooting system?
I looked through your channel for an update but didn’t see one. How did they turn out? I got my hands on a gorgeous galaxy petunia and wanted to propagate.
They turned out great but never got the chance to make a video on them. Good luck! 🍀
I got some Night Sky petunias from Bonnie plants this year and they are awesome. They are outgrowing Supertunias I planted them with. The colors are unreal, mostly purple with white spots but some look like stars. I went to buy more but sure enough they were sold out so I took some cuttings, 2 weeks later they were ready to transplant in there final containers. I will never buy regular petunias again, they look horrible after it rains.
Hello there, your video is so helpful but I am not having any luck with propagating Petunias. I follow your video over and over but the cutting will shrivel up and fall over.
I may not be scarring the stem enough, I just carefully pull the leaves trying to strip the stem while doing so. I have tried heat mats, grow light, both covering and not covering my tray.
Please help !!!! I can really use some suggestions. I live in Los Angeles area with indoor temps averaging 75 degrees.
How often are you watering?
thanks for taking time out of your day to reply. I am using a version of the grow tray like you use in this video. I fill the individual planter with potting soil, water enough where the soil is damp, create a hole, using hormone powder I install the stem cutting. I water every 2-3 days if the soil appears to be dry on top. My cuttings sometimes are maybe too
thin and not as hefty as your video shows. I am not giving up though, I will keep on experimenting but I have to wait until mother plant grows out more.
I think the next time I buy a nursery I will immediately cut stems and start propagating this way I have stronger stems to choose from.
I'll tell you what I do and never had a dead plant. I did this with Marijuana and now petunias. I use those red solo cups to plant the cuttings in, poke alot of holes in the bottom using a thumb tack, like 18 holes so it drains well. I use Miracle grow potting soil, put it in the cup so its light and fluffy, dont pack it down at all. Use a pen or magic marker to make a gole down in the soil for the cutting. I use a new razor blade to take cuttings cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Take a cutting 4"-5" long, thicker the stem the better. Slice off all flowers and flower buds so it's just the stem and leaves. Slice off all the lower leaves 2" from the bottom. With the remaining leaves at the top take a razor and slice off 2/3rds of each leaf, this helps by forcing the plant to make new leaves instead of keeping the remaining leaves alive and full. Take the razor and slice the bottom of the stem lengthwise at an angle, basically so the bottom of the stem you stick in the soil is pointy. The new roots will grow quicker along this cut. I don't use a rooting hormone but you can if you want, i never used any and had no issues. Stick the stems in the soil about 2". So 2'-3" is left sticking up. I use a new turkey baster to water the cuttings, I just drip the water around the cutting, this way the soil doesn't get compacted if you water very lightly. Water slowly, until water is coming out the bottom drain holes. I place the cups in a cardboard box while they drain, so the cardboard soaks up all the excess water and the cups aren't sitting in a puddle. This way the soil is moist but not soaked. After an hour or so pick up the cups and feel how heavy they feel, then you can tell later on if they feel lighter and need to be watered. I don't use a dome, I just watch the plants and can tell when they need to be watered. The stems should stay up straight and not wilt.
You never have to apologize for rain in the background, v calming lmao
Also , helpful video
Do you have an update video?
Can you please inform in which month you propagate petunia cutting.
What if I live in a warm place such as Texas where the temp is already above 80? Leave the top off ?
We still need to keep the cutting moist during propagation, that’s the main purpose of covering
is that petunia blue?
Over the years I tried cuttings with and without rooting hormones.
It won't save cuttings kept in bad conditions ( too cold or too warm, like if they bake in the Sun with no ventilation holes, too wet, too dry, etc ).
However, it will hasten rooting by a few days, and roots will be more vigorous, earning you a few more days towards a mature plant.
So if that extra week is important to you, a tiny pot of rooting powder is about 6 dollars and lasts forever ( dip the bottom tip in it, enough will stick on the ''wounds'' of the cut and bottom leaf-pulling ).
Try not to dip the stems in the container, should scoop a little out on a clean spoon then work off that, throw away any left over powder. Don't want to contaminate the container. I always clean my scissors and razors I use for cutting with isopropyl alcohol also.
Thanks for the video. I know for a powder you're not supposed to insert the plant directly into the jar bc of fungus/bacteria/something is that the same with the liquid rooting gel? And second question with the powder again you're supposed to poke a hole and then push in the plant so that it doesn't pull off all of the rooting powder. Is that different with the gel?
Does this work on hybrid petunias?
Yes! 🪴
Cant find part 2
Sir. Beautiful .could u send seeds to me in kerela
So when you propagate, how long will they last? Is this just for one season only? How can you over winter the petunias?
You could essentially propagate a continuous stream of petunias if you would like! just need an indoor light and growing space for them.
@@ExpeditionHomestead I appreciate your response. I will give this a try. Thank you!
Is it necessary to cover the cuttings?
I don't. I grow mine in red solo cups, poke alot of holes in the bottom with a thumb tack. I use Miracle Grow potting soil, make sure it nice and loose and not packed down at all. I water them daily using a new turkey baster just for watering plants, just drip the water on so it doesn't compact the soil. I'll water then place the cups either outside on the deck in the shade to drain or if inside I put them inna cardboard box so the excess water gets sucked up and the cups aren't sitting in a puddle, this keeps the soil moist but not soaked. I water daily because it's like 70-80 degrees, if it were colder I probably would water maybe every other day. I think the domes are good if your not going to pay much attention to them, but me I'm always fiddling with my cuttings and plants so no dome needed.
Hello, can you tell me where l can find the video or update on the Petunia cuttings?
Did not make an update but they were thriving!
That’s not good to say you will do an update and then don’t. I wasted time looking for it.
Good way to introduce pathogens to your rooting hormone. You should separate the amount of it that you will need and discard any remaining used solution this way you are not introducing disease to the next cuttings.
Naahhh, I’ve never had a problem and 99% of the time it never will be so I make it simple for the end user. I’d rather encourage than to discourage through complexity
Where is part 2?
Is this illegal to do with patented Proven Winners petunias and their other plants?
“Three days of straight rain”
Me living in the wettest state in the country: three days………that’s cute
😂😂😂 ik ik I was just sooooo ready to get growing outside. You must be in Washington?
Wot, no update?
Hey, loved the video, stay connected?
Space Life & Garden thank you! Will check out your channel 🌿
Please link to update
Did not do an update for these as I gave them to a friend but they worked out great!
Petunias are looking growing?
Update?
So I followed all the steps and my cuttings all died… not sure what I did wrong 😢 should I buy a small pack and propagate this way? I used actual cuttings from an existing plant. I used the same products as here in the video.
You didn’t post any update on this video! Frustrating……
😂 Relax
