Thanks so much for this Jason. I’ve just got into propagating over the last year (finally, at the age of 67, having always shaken my head at my gardening friends 😂). Due mainly to the help I’ve received from your videos (plus your good friend Mike Kincaid’s), I now have the immense joy to be beginning to plant out roses and fuchsias that I started from cuttings, along with Jalapeño peppers, started from seed (some of which I’ve been able to enjoy on my salads etc). In the beginning I simply used natural light and no bottom heat. I also kept them far to wet. Thanks to studying your videos I gradually refined my technique and was rewarded with faster and far more successful results. Thanks so much for all the time and effort, not to mention knowledge, that you lovingly put into all your output Jason. 🌹 🌶 💐 ❤️
hi mike you say you take fuchsia cuttings i have a problem with my fuchsias that the leaves are dropping of i cant see any mites or any thing like that hope you can help me thanks
@@briannewley1989, I'm a total beginner so I can't offer advice. As winter approached, last year, half of my fuchsia cuttings simply dropped all their leaves and then failed to survive overwintering in my shed. The other half did fine in spite of sharing the same parent plant and getting identical treatment. Hopefully Jason or someone else can help; I'm guessing a lot of questions need to be asked first but unfortunately I've no idea where to start. Sorry, hope you get it sorted.
I love, love, love coffee at all times ☕! With Coffee in the utility room, I can work on my plant 🌱🌱🌱 propagation all day long 😃... I've learned so much viewing you channel! Thank you Fraser Valley Rose Farm ☕
Really great video!! Thank you for the great info and thorough details. Please do keep us updated on the rooting/long soak method you described! I’m curious 😊
Me too! I probably should hold back from "teasing" details about new methods until I have some idea of the results, but my enthusiasm gets the better of me.
I have been buying second hand heating trays (used for food if serving buffet style). I put them on the lowest setting but add a cookie cooling rack on the tray to add about 1/2" of space to keep the trays at a lower temperature. They cost about $3 each.
Another good option for people who are trying to save their indoors space are terrarium heat mats, that’s what I went for this year, it works great, it was cheap and doesn’t use much energy. The best part is that the one I found is only 10 inches wide while being 35 inches long so fits perfect on my windowsill 😊
I have an idea I am trying. In one of the tray slots I have cut a 2litre water bottle. The idea is it will humidify the plastic dome . Not sure if it will work as it gets cooler. Great info as these are the level I am at one or two domes. 👍🤞
I'm still learning how to do cuttings, so thanks for the video! I must however admit to a bad habit of pulling my cuttings out to check if they're rooting or not, being a little impatient.. Does pulling them out make them less likely to root as my partner says, or is it ok to check?
I'm impatient like you - let those patient growers do it their way. I like to see what's happening. I know that I've occasionally broken off young roots by pulling, but 'm generally pretty careful. If it's "pulling back" I leave it alone (at least until I can tip the pot and see the roots to the side or bottom)
Terrific video! The tidiness of your workroom is impressive. Two questions: I suppose ideally you would take Rose cuttings as you had time but when would you try to get your main crop started and I’m surprised you don’t water your cuttings in? Thanks for such careful and thoughtful videos.
Thanks Marilyn. In my climate, June is the time when I'm trying to get the majority of my cuttings. If they succeed now, they'll have plenty of rooting time before winter - and if they don't, I'll have time in July/August to retry the variety. I do mist the cuttings and soil (sometimes heavily) after sticking - I'm after a moist soil, but not wet. It's a fine line, but I feel that when I've "watered in" the soil is too wet, and I see more losses due to rot.
Hey, Jason. Really enjoying your videos. If you were so inclined... would love to hear your recommendations to someone with even *less* space: no greenhouse, no spare room,.... I’m using your recommendations in this video to setup a propagation *shelf* in the garage, but: what would lend itself to the best chance of propagation success outdoors? When I try outdoors with humidity domes, temperature spikes as soon as the sun hits them. I’m going to experiment with shade cloth this weekend.
I have tried over and over to propagate many things , always mold and die when covered , i usually use plastic tents. Im gonna try the totes. Any other thoughts? Will room over 85 have a big impact?
Very informative video! I am wanting to take some cuttings from my sisters wedding flowers. Thought it would be special to grow some bushes that were from her wedding day. How long do you wait to check the cuttings to see if they have rooted? Thanks!
Hi, thank you for sharing this video. I have my concern, if I want to do it on my roof yard? How is that work? I live in Toronto, my roof yard will be around 30-40 C. If you will have a video for outdoor during this season. That’ll be really appreciate
In the case of a more exposed are alike a rooftop, you'll probably be better off trying a timed mist system than humidity domes (which will tend to capture too much heat): here's an example of a timed mist system I put together: th-cam.com/video/qXv5ftjzPtY/w-d-xo.html Also, you'll definitely benefit from installing shade over the cuttings.
God bless you sir! Is it better to use these heat mats or heat cables in diy table? I saw you use bothy so I wonder which one is better for home use? Thanks!
Just this week I've been working on setting up a propagation area..lol..I'm thinking of trying some sand to root in..have you ever tried that if so what's your thoughts..blessings
That's exciting. I didn't do well with sand (early on) but I'm sure I was using the wrong sand! It was fine and heavy, and seems to hold too much moisture. I think most experienced propagators are saying sharp/coarse sand is the way to go.
I've had decent luck with it. Powder has always seemed a bit more convenient for me, but as you can see I'm still experimenting to see if I can encourage roots a bit faster.
hello wondered if you could help me my fuchsias are dropping there leaves for some reason they have well draining soil and good moister checked for mites cant see any help please thanks
Hi Brian. I'm assuming you're talking about leaf-drop during the rooting process? In the range of plant stress responses, dropping leaves in response to stress is a pretty common - but some species seem to be more "ready" to drop leaves than others. It's responding to al the changes in its growing circumstances. I can sometimes hold it off a bit by starting with a lower level of temperature and light. Anyway, so long as the stem cutting itself remains firm, I've had decent success rooting even after the foliage drops. YMMV
Hi Jim - sorry, I unboxed outside of the view of the camera, but these were the Vivosun products featured in the video: the heating mat, the thermometer/hygrometer, and the 200W grow light.
I keep them indoors only for initial rooting (4 to 5 weeks) and then harden them off to sheltered outdoor conditions. Even after this, they'll generally take weeks or months to grow into a size that I'd feel happy planting directly into the garden. For my roses the total process is 6mo to 1yr.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you! I planted some cuttings directly in the garden with a plastic bottle on top last fall (no hormones) , and was happy to see some of them survived winter and grew roots. I do want to do this the right way this time. :)
It depends on how many I'm running, but if I'm running all three at a time it's around .65 cents (CAD) based on 14 cents per kwh. I hope my math's right, but that's roughly it.
I purchased 2 viviosun heating mats. One caught fire the very first day. As it turns out, it's happened to many people according to reviews on Amazon. Be cautious
I've talked to TH-cam Support about it - some videos take quite a bit longer to generate, but they nearly always do. I wish it were quicker / more reliable. I'll keep an eye out for the transcript and make corrections to spelling and plant names.

2:31 just the essentials
Good point about the soil temp vs ambient temp.

The best part is that the one I found is only 10 inches wide while being 35 inches long so fits perfect on my windowsill 😊
Nice. Great size for the windowsill
Yip, I also got one for my orchids.

I was actually just thinking about how to do this. Thank you👍
You're most welcome Steve. Have a great season!
Nice setup Jason!!!
Wire and clear plastic can replace the tote bin if your budget doesn't allow.
Great Video as always learned a lot again! Would like to get an Update on the new rooting salt!
You bet. I'm anxious to see how the new stuff works out!
Wonderful information. Thank you so much.
Thanks for your reliable advice 🙏

You're on the right track. Scale it down, and if you're using a humidity dome outdoors, best to choose (or create) a part-shaded location
How often and how much do you water the soil itself?
I only mist with a sprayer - sometimes heavily, but I don't think you'd call it a watering.
I have tried over and over to propagate many things , always mold and die when covered , i usually use plastic tents. Im gonna try the totes. Any other thoughts? Will room over 85 have a big impact?
At over 85 degrees, I might be aiming for some of the softer growth - and yes, I think the totes with a little bit of venting may be helpful for you.
Thank you. Great video as always.
Thanks Craig.
Hi Jason. Do you have a list or a video that I may have missed that shows some of the top selling roses that are not patented.
Not yet, but I'll put it on my "to do" list. Thanks.
Very informative video! I am wanting to take some cuttings from my sisters wedding flowers. Thought it would be special to grow some bushes that were from her wedding day. How long do you wait to check the cuttings to see if they have rooted? Thanks!
Usually I can see some initially callus in the first 2 weeks, small rootlets in weeks 3 or 4.
Informative video

Either one really. I've also done tables/benches with just a heat lamp below and it works fine too.

That's exciting. I didn't do well with sand (early on) but I'm sure I was using the wrong sand! It was fine and heavy, and seems to hold too much moisture. I think most experienced propagators are saying sharp/coarse sand is the way to go.
Great video! When the humidity is too low do you spray the plants or the walls of the domes? Thx!
Yes. I try to check each dome daily. I make sure the soil is moist, and if there's no condensation on the sides, I spray it to add moisture.
Great video ...1 question how long will yiu leave them in the domes ....couple days 1 week ??? And at what stage ,you dont need the domes anymore ???
I'll do some follow-up as the cuttings progress, but it's more like 3 weeks, until I see root (or at least callus) formation
I enjoy this .
Thank you
My pleasure Raymond. Thanks for watching
Can you review hydroponics vs soil for propagating cuttings . Thx
Thanks. I'll add it to my list
Does it not matter that the light will be very diminished for the cuttings in the humidity box?
Not a problem - the light is helpful, but it doesn't need to be too intense. I actually had to dim my LED sources down a bit to not curl the leaves.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm yes I am seeing that now... thanks for the reply.
Hi. Great video.
What do you think of Dip-N-Grow?
I've had decent luck with it. Powder has always seemed a bit more convenient for me, but as you can see I'm still experimenting to see if I can encourage roots a bit faster.

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks very much for your help
Have you had any success with plant rooting devices? I just found one Amazon but I am not sure if they work with hybrid tea roses.
I haven't tried any yet
jah! what do you think, 8 weeks to see some roots on the rose cuttings?
I hope less than that. I'd be happier with 4 to 5 weeks for at least initial rooting so I can move them outside.
You said you would share what is in the boxes, did I miss that?
Hi Jim - sorry, I unboxed outside of the view of the camera, but these were the Vivosun products featured in the video: the heating mat, the thermometer/hygrometer, and the 200W grow light.

Approx when can they be moved outside in the garden? :)

Have you figured out how much it costs to run those lights for 9 hours a day?
It depends on how many I'm running, but if I'm running all three at a time it's around .65 cents (CAD) based on 14 cents per kwh. I hope my math's right, but that's roughly it.
How do you treat fledgling rose plants. What are the best practices? can you make a video on that?
Thanks Brian. Will do.
HELLO,, I JUST SUBSCRIBED,, 🙂
I purchased 2 viviosun heating mats. One caught fire the very first day. As it turns out, it's happened to many people according to reviews on Amazon. Be cautious
Thanks for the warning. No problems so far on my end, but it would only have to happen once to do a lot of damage.
You can get a cheap heating mat at pet stores, used for reptiles, snakes,
I made the 60 comment! yay for me.
