How to Grow Your Own Carnations from Store-Bought Flower

[@fraserdavidson2366]

Another good idea Ray. More plants for free. Always a good thing 👍

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Love free plants Cheers Ray

[@ymfg9004]

Thank you Ray. I have some lovely shop-bought Sims carnations in a delicate apricot colour that I would love to grow however they don't have any side shoots, just tiny new growth peeping out at some nodes. I'm still going to give your methods a try and keep my fingers and toes crossed ☺ Cheers, Yvette, Australia 👍

Best of luck!

Great idea. Never thought to use cuttings from a bouquet of flowers.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

[@angiebaby3942]

Trying this thank you, can you use part sand instead of pearlite?

[@GardeningforBeginners]

I guess that may work too Cheers Ray

Faleminderit ! Por dua të di mbjelljen me farat e Karafilave ( Karnations ). Thank you. ( Albanian language)🇦🇱

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Thank you. I will look into this subject cheers Ray

[@barbarasimmons3859]

Great ,but how long will it take for the flowers to bloom .

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Not very long at all

[@samtabby3373]

Can we take these bouquet cuttings during any month of the year? Or do we have to wait until the summer - or any particular month?

[@johnwilson230]

Hi ray hope you and the family are well.
Do you ever use rooting hormone powder or the gell.
I use the powder and find that you tend to get better cutting take rate.
Great vid and all the best.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Hi John. Thank you . I had brought some but fail to use it when I should be doing Cheers Ray

[@gardeninc2517]

Hi Ray how did they do?

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Had half grow ok. I will try and send some pictures Cheers Ray

[@gardeninc2517]

@@GardeningforBeginners I am going to try rooting in water this year, I took 11 cuttings and planted them all together last year and only 1 survived but its beautiful if a little lonely

[@gardeninc2517]

@@GardeningforBeginners I just applied to your facebook group so you should find it easier to post the pictures

[@Duncan1900Homestead]

Thank you for sharing this with us, I have grown them from seed, But they died the following Spring because of to much rain. They rotted in the ground.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

That's a shame. At least there cheap enough to start from seed Cheers Ray

[@robertmeakings9774]

Hi Ray
I have grown my carnations from seed.
I will try to take some cuttings from them to see how they go.
By the way how is your poinsettia doing.
The one I saved from last year is now like a small bush and still growing.
Keep your videos coming
Stay safe mate

[@GardeningforBeginners]

The poinsettia has just died off this week so put it outside to see what happens. Maybe have to do an update video Cheers Ray

[@sandradackombe8106]

I planted some cutting for the 1st time ever,i put a little slit at the end of every cutting and then dipped in some pitting powder then straight into the compost, left 2-3 weeks then went to repot but there were no roots .
Quite disappointed as not sure what i done wrong🤷‍♀️

[@GardeningforBeginners]

They have to be mosit most of the time. 50 percent of mine did not work but a few did Cheers Ray

useless 1minute video that he prolonged for 5 minutes.
