I bought two Salvia plants at the nursery and what a wonderful plant for all sorts of bees and butterflies. They were similar to yours, but the foliage was darker and all parts of the plant are highly fragrant when crushed. I cut them back like you did, but I made as many cuttings as i could and simply put them in a jar with tap water. In about a month they had produced roots, and I had another 15 plants. I repeated the process, again and again and filled the garden with the plants. What I like most, is the flowering time, all year round just cut them back like you did. In a hot summer a little watering every 2-3 days will keep them going.

Hi Gary, that is so wonderful how many plants you were able to make from those cuttings 🌱 I find that s9 fascinating and such a fun thing to do. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

@maryraymond8375 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing how you put them in water! I have 2 white plants and just planted 2 pink. I wanted more white but can't seem to find them. So I will try this method! 👍

@jak30341 Жыл бұрын

You put your clippings with whatever is left of the bloom still attached at the top of the spike into water as is? And it grows roots and becomes a new plant?

@garyrock2356 Жыл бұрын

@@jak30341 No, I obey normal cutting rules using what I've cut off. That is cut below a node, then snip the top off, leaving a couple of leaves. The cutting should be long enough to stand in the jar with the node at the bottom. One piece may give you 2 to 3 cuttings, so long as you've got a node at the bottom and a couple of leaves at the top of the cutting, this plant isn't fussy.

PLUS you can cut off the flowers on the stems you cut off and place the rest of the stems in water and let them root and you will have lots more plants for your yard. Take off the bottom leaves you don't want them in the water leave the ones on top alone.🌵🌵 oops just read that everyone has the same idea suggestion.🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

@HookedandRooted Your most welcome. Glad I ran across your channel again it's been a while since I have had the opportunity learning all the things you share. I live in Arkansas so our climates are different but the smart ideas you have are universal working for everyone and I think inclusion is so very important when we all have different processes hoping for success. Gardeners are the hardest working people, we will work our gardens from can till can't. That means from when we can see till when we can't in the heat of summer and cold of winter. Hope this message makes sense. People say I speak in riddles. Lol Here is a funny answer I came up with years ago you can share . When someone says to me I must have a green thumb; I say no its a brown thumb you have to keep your hands in the soil to be successful.

I was going to add that those cuttings could also be potted for making new plants. Just a bit of rooting powder and moist soil in a clay pot and in a few weeks, new plants to add to your garden. I love propagating as many perennials as possible and usually give them to other family gardeners. Your garden is looking great! Jo from New Zealand 🇳🇿

@@maureenmckenna5220 I'm only just learning myself but yes it seems there are many perennials that work like this. You can just search youtube for titles like "how to propagate salvia from cuttings" and substitute in other plant names as well, or "how to propagate perennials." I think there's a bit of technique involved to have the highest success rate but plenty of videos to teach us out there.

@maureenmckenna5220 Жыл бұрын

@@JWHealing Thanks for the encouragement and information. I have been able to propagate Autumn Joy sedum, in spite of my own failings, because it just seeds itself close to an area where it is growing. After many years, I have seven, three of which are huge, sedum, one of which must be dug up next year to make room for air. I know I can cut these and just stick them in the ground and they will grow. I am going to try and give the established plants, rooted and all, to some gardeners nearby, as I know how expensive they can be. I also have three year old serendipity allium that look like they could be divided next year easily. But, these are all dug from the ground up, and dividing is not like propagating, which is tough in the summer sun and heat of Virginia. But, plant life has become so expensive that it just might be worth it.

@soniatriana9091 Жыл бұрын

Hello. Yes, this is exactly how I’ve always pruned all my salvias - for the simple reason that my hummingbirds love them as a source of nectar. So, I never wanted to totally eliminate their food source, therefore I also only prune 1/2-2/3 of the plant in such a way, as to reduce it in size, shape it, and leave enough stalks with flowers or soon to open flowers that the bees, hummingbirds, & other insects love it!! I’m glad you prune the same way.

@tjcihlar1 4 күн бұрын

In a Chicago Botanical Garden trial, they cut back half their salvias to see how it affected reblooming. They found that it didn't matter as far as affecting reblooming. But the did note that the new flower spikes on the ones that were cut back perhaps stood out more without the old spikes still on the plant.
