Thank you so much! I could only afford 10 tubers, so this should help me get many many more ... if only I could figure out where to put the cuttings! I'm sure our summer temp's in spring will scorch them.

Thank you for this video and the second one! So great to see sequence of how a technique works. Would it be possible to do another short video of planting out these leaf cuttings into the garden letting us know roughly how long until the cuttings were ready to go outdoors? Would also LOVE to see a later season follow up possibly seeing the cuttings flowering and then see if these cuttings developed tubers within the first year? Can leaf cuttings develop fully like that in just one season??? Thanks so much - you are a great teacher and so easy to listen too! Subscribing!

Gently watered So checked today to see if any progress and I have a healthy root growing 😊 so repotted held breath and smiled. Fingers crossed it continues. I have a question though do I keep it in greenhouse to get stronger then plant out?

Thank you for a most amazing 'new' propagation method. I noticed that the cutting that you divided into four was the main stem growing out of a tuber. Would your leaf cutting method work on a side shoot? I have a dahlia that I really want to propagate in this current season. It is currently about 19 inches high. One of its side shoots has five leaves and I wondered whether I can use this side shoot to propagate using your method?

@sausagefingersgardeningtip2326 2 жыл бұрын

Yes difinatly as long as the side stem is wide enough to be cut in half shouldn't be a problem. Any stem with a leaf will work, good luck 👍👍
