Propagating (Rooting) Common Lilac From Softwood Cuttings

- In this video, I propagate softwood cuttings as opposed to hardwood cuttings that must be taken during the plant's dormancy period. In an earlier video, I tried some hardwood cuttings too late in the season (already budding) and they failed, so now I'm going the softwood route which I'm pretty confident will be successful. I'll update this better than the last one -- and can tell you right off the bat that after two days the cuttings look better than when they were started!

So grateful for your video!!! Thank you for taking the time and explain everything 💜
Your cat was cracking me up.
She will do anything to get on camera!
Thanks for saying what month you're in because hardly anyone on these gardening video's ever does. From what I've gathered so far is that the suckers are easier to establish. I've yet to try myself.
You're welcome Natasha! 😊
Beautiful video, this is such a big help, you must have a forest of lilacs by now, would love to see it, the cuttings rooted? Right ?
LOVE your video! So real, and very helpful. Trying to help my mom save her 20-year old lilac that was damaged by severe weather a couple months ago. At least I can root some cuttings for her, with your help!
Make sure to use fresh rooting medium and keep an eye out for mold! My last attempt failed due to mold. I'll be taking cuttings from both trees and bushes again this year so stay tuned for that -- but lilacs sucker extensively so maybe you will have some suckers to dig up as well. Good luck!
Cool! I’ll have to look for those when we work on it after it’s done blooming.
You could air-layer.
This is just awesome. I have been searching for something like this for a long time and I'm really happy to find your video. My mom LOVED her lilacs and I bought her a very expensive petite lilac bush that stays about 4' high. It blooms heavily and I would like to have a few more of the trees. My mom passed away a couple years ago and it reminds me of her to smell those beautiful lilac blooms. Thank you again for such a great teaching video! I'm a new subscriber and I'm going to be recommending this to my friends as well.
You are welcome and glad to have you ChevyDude65!
That’s amazing
I appreciate the thorough-ness!
Thank you!
saw horse greenhouse. great idea!
Thanks! I moved up to a ShelterLogic greenhouse this year, but the sawhorse greenhouse worked just fine, then I reused all of the wood when I took it down.
! People go on internet to learn tips.
Really enjoyed this thank you. !!!!
You are quite welcome 😊
@@PlanetMojo I am so new at gardening and on limited budget with major plans for my yard and your videos are providing me with priceless information to get to my dreams without going broke
Again, thank you
@@voetarene4879 Thanks again Voeta! If you plan to propagate lilacs, it is much easier to dig up the suckers (small plants growing around the base of the big plant). They almost always make it. Good luck! 😊
@@PlanetMojo got my root grow powder
And dipped and got in some good dirt in pot
I’m already excited
@@voetarene4879 Good luck!
I am curious if your cutting actually rooted.
Typical Syringa vulgaris propagation is done by way of mounding or root cuttings.
I have not read or heard of softwood cuttings being a viable means of rooting Lilac. The usual outcome is that they may root, but the roots are not viable or substantial enough to produce a successful plant.
Also, if you cut those leaves in half, the planting will transpire less and the need for water will be significantly less through your propagation attempts.
Again please update us on your success or failure with softwood cuttings.
Thanks
I too would like to see if it was successful even if it failed I would like to know. Thank you for sharing. Even an unsuccessful attempt is helpful in learning.
IN the next two days, I'm going to try burning bushes and lilacs, we have dozens of them growing , but all in the wrong places, we had one burning bush twenty yrs ago and now have them growing all thru the woods.
Both should work fine. I have never done burning bush, but know for a fact that softwood cuttings from them work just fine. The real key is to not let them dry out or drown. Also, keep your cuttings in full shade until they start rooting, then you can slowly acclimate them.
There will be a brief progress report later today (tomorrow at the latest) -- but these cuttings are doing great so-far. Good luck!
if the cutting do grow, what will you do with the plants this fall to protect them this winter? thanks
Unfortunately the cuttings got blasted by the 100 degree heat we had a week ago and they are dying. I wanted to use them for a long hedge, but will try dormant cuttings this winter instead. Next time I will need to pay better attention and protect them better!
Ahhhhhh that forest must smell so amazing , don't burn it
"Smidge" being of course a technical term
Exactly. Just a tad more than a double skosh. 😉
Thanks, I hope mine grow.. By the way your cute!
Thanks -- It's a hearty plant, they should do fine!
Did it work??
I would lay newspaper or paper towels on the bottom so sand doesn't leak out. So april would be too late to do this. But this video is june and you are doing now? ours has buds on it now.
so when do you get the softwood cuttings...... before the lilac buds??? ....... also what strength of rooting hormone are you using?
Hi Anna Bell -- I take the cuttings right after flowering. The rooting hormone was Indole-3-butric acid at .1%
@@PlanetMojo thank you ... I am looking forward to trying that...
What happened next?......did you post an update
May I ask why sand?Only because I don’t have any but could you use regular potting soil
Hi Vicky, that's just how I learned it. Easy to remove and re-pot. Anything would work really -- like potting soil.
Sand is easier on roots...
For future reference: 6 < shitload. 😂😂😂
Cat :)
What growing zone are you located in?
Zone 4
What state are you in?
Im in Alaska which is zone 3 and zone 4.
North Star Realty altered!
Is your process for propagating hardwood cuttings during their dormant period exactly the same? How often should you check the moisture in the sand?
No, it's not. Dormant cuttings are not covered - and I don't check the sand at all. The sand shouldn't dry out in the time it takes to root.
Ha are you in Minnesota or wisconsin? Karuba cup
Good eye Michael! The cup was actually from Iowa but we are in Wisconsin. 😊
