4 Easy Plants to Grow from Cuttings

Рет қаралды 831,535

Күн бұрын

With a single method, you can propagate and grow many different plants from stem cuttings. In this video, I'll show you 4: hydrangea, currants, St. John's wort, and Russian sage (three shrubs and a perennial) all prepared with the semi-hardwood technique. 3 weeks later, all varieties have either rooted or callused. I'll also discuss a couple of different ways to maintain humidity while the plants trying to root.
For a longer (more detailed) version of the semi-hardwood propagation method, refer to my video on rooting roses: • Grow Roses from Cuttin...

I do quite a lot of propagating and have watched many You Tube videos for advice. I find this one to be one of the best. I like it because there is no waffling before getting on with the process and so much is included in such a short video. Everything is shown to be so straightforward that anyone could do it.

Thank you, I have just started out with cuttings and it seems like every one of the videos I watch say take a cutting and then they snip off a piece but don't show where to snip. Your node info was everything I was struggling to see in the other videos the close up of your cut did it ! Finally I can start with my cuttings. Thanks for no weird music too .

I always wondered why we trim the leaves. Some videos say to do it but don't explain why. Thanks for explaining that it causes the plant to lose moisture.

I have tons of Russian Sage and am going to try it today. I have been doing it wrong all this time! One of my favorite are the new sun-friendly coleas. In less than a week a branch is ready to plant. Le Freak took root in four days and its exotic look is great throughout the landscaping.

You propagated a Russian Sage. I discovered that you can divide a Russian Sage, or a Catmint plant just like you would a hosta or day lilies. I divided my Russian Sage and one of my Catmints, passed some of the divisions to others and replanted my plants and they really grew back to maturity. I plan to do this again this year as friends and relatives have asked for them.

easiest plant in the world to do cuttings with is tomato. I don't even freak out anymore when a tomato plant breaks, I just plop it in water and leave it alone and new roots grow. It doesn't even matter where the cut is, it'll just grow roots! It's actually absurd how easy they are, you don't even need to change the water

I have always had good success with tip cuttings BUT after watching your video, I think it is due to the location. I'm in wet, hot, Florida. So the moisture just happens naturally and I have to make sure they don't drown. I've got tiny tip cuttings under a grow light since they were leggy from the continually overcast sky and too wet from constant rain. Your video was informative and I'll be back to see more. Thanks!

@FraserValleyRoseFarm 5 жыл бұрын

Nice. I know that many large plant propagators do business from Florida, and I'm not saying that warm & humid is perfect for growing, it sure helps to keep cuttings from drying out before rooting.

My dad used to prop hydrangeas by just taking a newer outside branch from the plant, and pulling it down to the ground. Then mounding up dirt mid-branch, then putting a weight on it(brick) so it wouldn’t spring back off the ground. After a couple weeks he’d check to see if it rooted, then cut it from the main bush, and relocate.

@tonibauer2405 3 жыл бұрын

Years back towards the end of November I spotted one lone beautiful raspberry colored hydrangea flower on a bush in an out of the way spot in a parking lot. I knew no one else was even likely to notice it, and since I found it so beautiful, I broke it off 10-12 inches down, took it home and stuck it in a glass bud vase on my mantle. It remained there until spring, and had grown a bounty of healthy roots. I took it out to my yard, dug a hole and planted it. I kept it well watered that summer, and as I live in Seattle, nature took care of that fall, winter, and spring. It grew into a big blue hydrangea bush within 2-3 years. That was 10-12 years ago and I no longer live in the house where I planted it. The woman living there now neglects the yard, but the hydrangea is huge and thriving.

@hectorsanchez8561 2 жыл бұрын

I really enjoyed your explanation on the procedure of the different plant cuttings, my wife will enjoy trying to clone some of the plants that you show and demonstrate, isn’t it true that the hydrangea flower will change colors according how much acidity the fertilizer you use? This process will work for orchids, if not, could you show how to clone them? Thank you, Hector Sanchez
