Chrysanthemums do root really well in water as a good alternative to taking cuttings potted on in soil. That’s great it worked really well for you. Where did you put your rooted cuttings in water to develop their roots? On a windowsill indoors? Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope it was helpful.

Thanks for watching 😊 I’m glad you found it helpful for your chrysanthemum cuttings.

Thanks so much for watching. Thats great you had the right conditions in the soil and weather to get chrysanthemum cuttings taking directly that way. Saves a lot of time!

Hi, thanks for watching and I hope you are able to successfully make more plants from the cuttings of the 10 you bought. Good luck for lots of flowers later in the summer.

Thank you very much for watching 😊

That sounds like it has worked really well for you Rebecca. Chrysanthemums really are great for propagating and once you have found a way that works for you it’s worth sticking with and hopefully getting lots of new chrysanthemum plants to enjoy.

Thanks so much for watching. I hope you get on well growing your chrysanthemums this year and get some fantastic blooms.

Gd video, tq.

Thanks so much for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. Good luck with taking some cuttings from your potted up plants. I hope the weather gets better soon in Wales. I think we are all ready for some spring weather now. Having the greenhouse has made such a difference and it is a lovely place to go and potter in when it is not quite so nice outside. Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. Happy growing 🌱

Thank you 😊

Thank you Susan, have a lovely weekend x

Hello, thanks so much for watching 😊 my greenhouse is from The Greenhouse People, I love it and it has made such a difference to have some undercover space to grow in.

Thank you and thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for watching. I am really sorry but I haven’t done any more videos on chrysanthemums so far. Definitely an idea for future years but I hope you get on well with your first year growing mum’s.

Hi, thanks for watching. The idea is that the roots divide more quickly if you plant them at the edge. The roots quickly hit the side of pot as a boundary and this forces them to branch creating more roots.

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm thanks very helpful info 😀

Thanks for watching, yes it should work the same as using the stems from the garden.

Thanks Alison, I just started growing chrysanthemums a couple of years ago and really like them. Lots to learn though! This is my first video on them but hopefully will follow them the whole way through the season doing more videos as we go along. Each year I have done it I have dug up the chrysanthemums at the end of the season, let them dry and stored over winter, then March time I pot them up, give them a water and a month later when they have new growth I take cuttings from them. It’s these new cuttings I will get flowers from this season and I don’t use the parent plant. I also buy in a few new plug plants each year too. There are some hardy varieties that are supposed to be perennial so I bought a few this year to see if they will survive a Scottish winter for me 🤞 Will def keep the videos going on chrysanthemums and show you what they are doing as the season goes on x

Hello, thanks for watching. Yes you can divide chrysanthemums in the spring when you see new growth on the plant and this will provide new plants for you.

Hi, yes that sounds fine to use a mix of potting compost and sharp sand. You are looking to use a mix that has good drainage. I would water the compost before inserting the cuttings. The poly bag I don’t make holes in but I do remove it as soon as there is signs of growth. Every couple of days I would check the compost and if getting on dry side give it a water. You want it to stay moist without being too wet your cuttings rot.

Thank you 😊 I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I think the trick is not overwatering as the little seedlings don’t like too much water and good ventilation so getting the vents and doors open in the greenhouse as much as possible. Getting seeds off any heat mat once they have germinated and grow on cooler in the greenhouse can also help.

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Thank you so much!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😁😁😁😁😁

Hello yes I just pop them in a crate with some compost and leave them in a frost free dark place over winter and then bring them out, pot them up in March and give them a water then to get them growing. I don’t water them over the winter time.

Hi Kim, you need to keep the soil moist all the time for your cuttings so check it everyday and if the compost is looking dry give the pot a water. From the top is fine with a small greenhouse watering can. You don’t want it waterlogged though so just enough water to moisten the soil. Have a lovely weekend x

Thankyou!

Hi Annie, thanks for watching, yes they do tend to do better around the edges with better root systems. Growing against the side the first roots bump into the edge break and branch into even more roots resulting in more overall than those in the middle.

Hello, thanks for watching. I usually start taking cuttings in April/May when the stored plants have started shooting for a few weeks.

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes that’s a great idea. That can work really well.

It tends to be just what I can get from the local garden centre, I have used doff rooting powder before.

Hi thanks so much for watching. If you live in a mild area you could overwinter them outside and just provide some mulch over them. I am too cold in winter for that so in the autumn after flowering I lift them, shake any excess soil from the roots and cut the top growth down to about 6-8inches. Any excess leaves etc I remove so it is just the stem and roots left. This is then stored in a crate of dry compost with other chrysanthemums. The crate goes in a cool frost free place for storage. In late winter I wake them up by putting the chrysanthemum in a pot of compost and watering it, keeping it frost free. It will then start to put on growth I can take cuttings from for new plants.

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm thanks i take cutting in june may be i could start taking earlier with your suggestions
