Update: We didn't do an update on this video and need to let you know that none of our cuttings actually grew roots or survived after taking the cuttings this way. 😭😭 So, if you do try this method (which there was no literature to back up taking cuttings this way), make sure to harvest even more tissue or "woody" tissue when carving these off the mother plant. We think this is why we didn't get any to root. Also, we weren't able to keep them consistently watered. The soil around the plant tissue dried out too many times and it would have probably helped to keep these in a more humid-protected location with no direct sunlight until they started rooting. Hope that helps and good luck with making new plants! 👍🏼👍🏼😮😉
Thank you so much for this. I live in the UK and the snow killed off my cordylines this year. Now that we are in the summer, I have noticed that I have these fantastic new sprouts (or suckers as I believe they are called). They look like perfectly formed mini cordylines themselves. I wasn't sure what to do with them. This is perfect, thank you.
Hi Tanyabradley5414!! 👋🏼👋🏼 Thank you for watching and for saying that. Sorry to hear your Cordylines didn't make it through the winter.

Hi LalaJ109!! 👋🏼👋🏼 It was a fun experiment, and thank you for reminding us to post about it. Unfortunately, none of our "cuttings" made it. They didn't root. So, no new plants to show. 😮But, it was fun to try and see if we could do it, because there was no mention of making cuttings in this manner, but we wanted to try and see if we could make new plants in this way. Gotta keep experimenting, because even if the literature doesn't back it up doesn't mean it can't be done. 😀😉
I live in the northwest as well and my in-ground cordyline is doing the same thing. I have been wondering if it would be possible to divide off the profusion of new buds. I think I will try a few and see how it goes!
is it normal to be able to see small white roots around a cordyline plant potted plant. Its a kiwi in a pot thats doing really well under my grow light's. All around a decent size pot i can see whispy roots. Is that normal. Apart from that its thriving with lots of off shoots that im going to leave until it warms up. Id really like to send you a picture
@@seansmith445 can you elaborate please? I have a cordyline (U.K.) also with all these shoots coming off. Have you put the shoots directly into water and did you use the rooting compound?

@@SpokenGarden Thanks for the update. it's a pity but I guess its a % game with large numbers needed to get one or two new clones.
You guys are great. How did this cordy experiment turn out? I am looking to do exactly this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
As I sent this I saw your update. Thank you so much for showing me your experiment. It is very helpful in my deciding how to proceed.
This was an experiment...did it work? Is there a follow-up video?

Thank you for explaining in such detail. I needed to know this.
Good tips, thanks again for the advice 😊

I have most success generally taking water cuttings.
Interesting. Do others find this as well?

For @5:20 you could just use your pinky finger which you have been waiting all your life to make use of.lol
I have been doing this all wrong 😑
