@@oceandizzle7 yep. Any vining plant, Ivy, pothos, heart leaf philos, string of things, even tradescantia if you are careful and don’t break the stems. I’ve done it with them all and they get fuller and stronger because they have more roots.

In some parts of southern Africa namely Zimbabwe and Zambia, we eat the pumpkin leaves as vegetables much like your collard greens in the US. However in Zambia we add groundnut powder and in Zimbabwe we add peanut butter. We obviously strip the prickley bit but just thought I would share a little of my heritage
In India, at some parts as well, we eat the leaves, flowers, steams and fruit. Maybe, Ayurveda may even incorporate roots, but imma not sure about that.
You don’t even need to bury the stem, as long as the root senses the soil it will burrow straight down deep and spread out, and you definitely don’t need the rooting hormone to make this happen, it happens naturally with pumpkin and varieties of winter squash like Butternut Squash. However, if you’re trying to grow 200+ lb watermelons, I suggest slightly burying the vines and adding a decently thick layer of mulch to promote and encourage anchor roots at leaf nodes! I grow Giant Pumpkins and Giant watermelons and have been for 8 years now! The varieties I use are Atlantic Giant for pumpkin and Carolina Cross for watermelon…
Strawberries do this too so if you see a LONG leaf it’s not it’s called a runner and make sure it’s touching the dirt so it can root when ready and grow a new plant!
On wild strawberries especially it's like a daisychain of connected plants, spreading everywhere. They just keep pushing outwards until eventually one plant in the chain hits a surface again. They can grow through weed fleece.
That's not the same thing. Pumpkins are vines that develop roots along the stem. Strawberries don't do this. They make new plants. Strawberry runners are not vines.
i threw out some leftover seed from my parrots. there was also shredded cardboard, they like to chew it up while i watch tv. some of the seed was still viable and started growing in the cardboard compost after a few heavy rains and now i have lots of gourds and funny looking pumpkins. a few of the pumpkins are getting huge! i think it's because most of their growing stems were covered with just leaves and small stems coming out of the compost.
Don’t even need rooting hormone 👌the nodes have sensory tissue that knows when it’s underground or near dirt. Doing this helps all vining vegetables; zucchini, cucumber, squash, and surprisingly even tomatoes (but they still need additional support to keep the fruit off the ground). Plants like this are also easy to grow vertical in small spaces if burying like this isn’t plausible
I just rooted some bamboo and some of them fell in the prop box and they where on a angle the tops where inches from the perlite they grew roots a few inches down into the perlite
You can soak the year's willow branches for a couple of days to get a solution with some salicylic acid, and use it to water instead of buying the auxins ;) aspirins also work.
Hey buddy, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all that you do and all that you share.

It doesn't hurt tho and for a lot of gardeners, especially those relying on a garden for most their food, its important to do everything possible and like he said it just makes it happen _faster_
Pumpkins root very quickly and they will self root as long as the vine is touching dirt it anchors it’s self with them as it grows along no need to bury them or root hormone, I mean it may help grow even bigger pumpkins but Atlantic giants already get big as long as you trimming them down to 1-2 pumpkins per vine I actually live 10 mins away from the farm that first grew the Atlantic giants the Howard dill farm in Windsor NS I have some growing in my yard right now lol

We eat the stems, flowers and leaves in Greece. They're even tastier than the actual pumpkins or zucchinis. I like to cook them in a stew kind of way with tomato sauce. We call it kolokythokorfades or korfades. Absolutely looking forward every summer just for having them ❤️
Thank you I've been growing pumpkins for a couple years now and have failed every time I was starting to think I would never grow a pumpkin I found out you cannot grow them off the ground so the next year I made sure they stayed on the ground but never understood why they would die watching this makes so much sense the two plants I have left I am going to do this and it makes so much sense I appreciate this thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤
I did a patio garden last summer my first summer in the new apartment and every single plant/soil went moldy. Tons of plants but had to toss every single one after trying to solve the problem all summer. Everyone of my houseplants get mold in them as well since moving here and it’s a year long battle keeping them alive let alone growing because of this… therefore starting seed indoors which is what I wish to do, has been impossible thus far… moldy within days. Please! I would love tips on how to solve this folks because I can’t live without plants!
One year when i was like 17 i decided to grow pumpkins, My grandma whom is from mexico helped me, as it grew and extended and flowers began popping up i got excited and thought im going to have pumpkins for Halloween, the next day i went out to the yard aafter school and all the flowers were gone, i go to the kitchen my grandma made fresh handmade tortillas and was making quesadillas i had some then i opened one up to put avocadoto to my surprise it had the pumpkin flowers in it 😂
I live in a small apartment but for some reason this info feels really useful 🤔 I'll store it in my long term memory while forgetting i don't even have space for a big plant pot
Good to know I wondered if this was okay that my butternut was trying to root to the ground. I will let it be in that case. Great tips and info as always, sir! 👍😃
The indole-3-butyric acid in the rooting powder causes plants to create callus tissue at the cut site that is undifferentiated, and that undifferentiated tissue can become root tissue. Just sprinkling that near where you want roots is not the proper use of this product. You want to apply it to a cut site so that the tissue you just exposed can take the product up and grow undifferentiated tissue that can become roots. So for your fig marcotting, put it on the cut-through tissue at the top (growth point side) of the collar, or for cuttings put it at the bottom cut site. For pumpkins, best to not use this.
Pumpkin tips are so tasty! You just need to know how to clean them and remove the excess "fur," but if you ever try it, it's an unforgettable and unique, almost buttery taste.
@@Margatatials my growing season is so short I usually end up keeping only one pumpkin on each plant, because if I don’t they don’t get big before they start dying off in the fall.
This reminds me of a game I play called “Kasi” on steam which is all about being a plant and growing like a plant. This is one of the things you can do in it. Although I usually do it to handle uneven terrain.
Can you add in your video is the time of year and temperature you’re planting and how much sun I would so appreciate it. Your garden is very inspirational. It’s the next movement
I've never seen that many perfect leaves .... Powdery mildew has always effected every kind of squash fam type... And I've lived literally all over the world
The logic is sound. Instead of many stems making mant pumpkins. All those stems are absorbing nutrients to provide even more neutrian to the lone pumpkin. Givinf it more nutrictian then all the small pumpkins could get.
Haha I already commented on this, was about to say something similar but let me just add to this. If you bury your pumpkins like this you might have to uncover them once they root. Depends on your soil if it holds onto to much water vines can root. If you have Sandy soil should be good.
It happens. Its definitely a part of gardening. Soap and water in a sprary bottle does take care of most pests though. I didn't pay attention this year and they got all mine and i had multiple kinds of pumpkin as well. It does suck but its really just part of gardening.
I am a 3rd gen Pumpkin farmer and the Atlantic giant is my family’s best seller. We get them to vine out on their own by applying granular 19-19-19 fertilizer (percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, and pot ash. For best results use seeds treated with Farmore. It makes the seedling resistant to various diseases for the seedling stage.
My next door neighbor waters his lush lawn everyday x3.. it sogged up the side we share, where I HAD 20yro Dusty Miller bushes (California native) he wont do anything to keep the water off my side and they rotted away. Dont worry i took cittings ;) im thinking of putting a huge pumpkin vine in that area now 🤣
I had to do (kinda) this with one of my tomato plants that I accidentally broke the stem. It never missed a beat! I do have a quick question for you about pumpkins though. If no fruit start to grow where the flowers are does that mean my plant has not been pollinated? My flowers just keep dying off and I get nothing.
You may just be getting male flowers, which is totally normal at the beginning! Only if you see a tiny fruit at the base of the flower is it female, and if it falls off then that could be lack of pollination. But you can pollinate them yourself with a male flower too!
This propagation technique is called layering. Layering is a method of plant propagation that involves growing roots on a stem while the stem is still attached to the parent plant. The technique was invented in the 1850s.
That’s cool and all man, but I’m pretty sure those are the variety that we all know and use around Thanksgiving/Halloween. They’re plenty good to eat, and bake well with a little nutmeg. The variety you should be looking for so far as pumpkins go are a hard skinned variety that is actually native to North America often called the pilgrims pumpkin. It’s still a squash, but it grows better and produces a better fruit for the people interested in really growing squash.
I did this for years with weed! It’s called super cropping! In just 30days of vegetation the canopy of only one plant in a hydroponic bucket would be 6feet by 6feet wide! due to the low stress training it also causes the plant to have huge branches and extremely raise THC and resin levels naturally! The only downside is your “flowers” wont be as huge as they would be normally! Instead of them being the size of a 2L bottle they become more around the size of a 1L! But still due to the increased amount of “flowers” you will end up with alot more doing this! (Im in Canada and had a licence to grow)

Root hormone not necessarily needed for pumpkin vines. When I do this it only takes a day or two for them to send out roots on their own
This propagation technique is called layering. Layering is a method of plant propagation that involves growing roots on a stem while the stem is still attached to the parent plant.
The technique was invented in the 1850s.
Charlie Brown bout to get a run for his money
I did the same thing with tomatoes once. Instead of getting just a typical Better Boy Tomato plant, I got a Better Boy Tomato Shrub!
Excellent sharing
Wow I can’t believe I never even thought of this. Thnk u. Now I can grow them bigger than my head yayyyy
That’s cool and all man, but I’m pretty sure those are the variety that we all know and use around Thanksgiving/Halloween. They’re plenty good to eat, and bake well with a little nutmeg. The variety you should be looking for so far as pumpkins go are a hard skinned variety that is actually native to North America often called the pilgrims pumpkin. It’s still a squash, but it grows better and produces a better fruit for the people interested in really growing squash.
Makes sense actually. More roots = more nutrients for the plant. More nutrients means possibility for larger fruit.
I hope it works well for you!!!
Spreading rooting hormone like it’s not the price of crack cocaine for a little bottle
I asked for some of that rooting powder at my local Walmart. The manager of the garden center had never heard of it. 😅
I didn’t know you could do that! That’s cool!
Side note:Almost dropped my phone in the toilet while watching this! Glad I didn’t.
Can't wait to see the HUMONGUS result of this! I hear some people have to make soft beds for their pumpkins so they don't crack.
Did you let the cuts callous over before you buried the stems?
I keep thinking I should try using snowball molds for this!
Would I be able to do this with regular pumpkins?
Looking forward to the result video!!
I did this for years with weed!
It’s called super cropping!
In just 30days of vegetation the canopy of only one plant in a hydroponic bucket would be 6feet by 6feet wide!
due to the low stress training it also causes the plant to have huge branches and extremely raise THC and resin levels naturally!
The only downside is your “flowers” wont be as huge as they would be normally! Instead of them being the size of a 2L bottle they become more around the size of a 1L!
But still due to the increased amount of “flowers” you will end up with alot more doing this!
(Im in Canada and had a licence to grow)
Does the same go for melons?
I would think so. But why not experiment and find out for yourself?
Pick one or two plants and give it a try…
Oke oke, i haven't thought about this....but now i thino about it, it makes a lot of sense. Thnx for the knowledge!!
Just like tomatoes! You gotta bury them suckers 😂
