  • Learn how to propagate plants like a pro and get your English Laurel cuttings rooting like crazy with this simple to build plant propagation frame that is perfect for softwood rooted cuttings and some semi-hardwood cuttings. This frame is a huge step up from the plastic totes and bins that we've been using and your success rate will go through the roof with this propagation frame.
    In this video we'll show the massive root growth of the cuttings of English Laurel and take a look at how well they rooted in the propagation frame. We'll be potting them all up and fertilizing.
    These English laurel are so beautiful and make the perfect hedge if you need privacy for your large garden. Just make sure you've got the space because English laurel will grow huge in the landscape.

    Part 4 of our English Laurel cuttings is out. 100% success rate! I can hardly believe it. You guys have just got to put one of these frames together for your cuttings. If you're interested in getting the same frame I use for all my cuttings around here that will propagate softwood, semi-hardwood, and hardwood cuttings, as well as germinate seeds then check out the website and get the 6 hours of video detailing everything I do hear at my little nursery! propagateplantslikeapro.com

    this mans enthusiasm is outta sight. I think it gets transmitted to the plants, seriously!!!
    I live in deep south Florida. Stick a broom handle in the ground fetilize a bit and water often, 6 months later you have 6-8 new brooms..My method is to do rooting in water a little bit of with rooting compound, AND I tried using honey and that worked also. Not on the very large scale as Mike does.I have a fiddle leaf fig year ago was 3 feet tall.Old timey neighbor has one about 40 feet tall.Anyhow he brought over some pruning cut offs to me told me to put in a bucket of water put in shadey area and keep well watered.Anyhow in a year my 3 footer is now 6 feet
    tall and my cuttings had hairy roots in the water after 6 weeks

    I think the secret to Mike's success is that bark. That stuff must have some kind of anti-fungal properties. He's shown cuttings where the bark is soaking wet. If I let my medium get a fraction of that wet, they'd rot in a couple days.

But a short time in the tub and they were all standing proud. Will just keep an eye on them now. The tub lid even has moisture on the inside of it 6 hours later. Northside of the garage, out of the sun but good exposure to the sky though. Hope the wild fires are staying away from you. Be safe.

I got 3 extra ones out of 8 in a small rectangular flower container with a clear vegetable plastic bag cover so I felt successful. I used snack bag clips & clipped the bag on the edges of container over the top & turned the bag every other day after I opened the top to air the plants a bit. The bag had excess moisture inside so I turned the bag to decrease the moisture. I did put the container on the north side of my house. Thanks, Jo

    I used to estimate that I killed more plants than I successfully grew. Then I got a job as a professional greenhouse plug grower and I grew more than a million plants a year.
    The way you do things reminds me of that job. You know how to work efficiently and spend the smallest amount of time on each plant.
    My advice to gardeners who say their cuttings failed is to do more. If you tried five cuttings and they all died, next time try fifty, or five hundred. Don't pamper each plant, just tend to the needs of the group as a whole. Keep trying until you get it to work.

    This is awesome Mike. I have been following you since the very beginning and I love your videos. I built one of your heated bench last fall and stuck a lot of semi-hardwood cuttings in it. Almost every shrub i could think of. It all went well until march, then 95 % rot. I think it is the media I am using, I can not find these wood shavings that you use. The only thing I thought was close enough was composted bark mulch. And now when i dug up the bench it was full of white fungi mycelia and even some fruiting bodies on top. I did do an experiment with course bark that i sifted to 5-10mm sizes and it worked for 85% of that bench. So problem is too find good rooting media that is not full of fungi. I think that is where most of us fail. I have started with some soft wood cuttings now and I try coco coir or coco peat instead, it looks like this is more like the one you use, because it is more inert and more sterile than mulch. Still wish I could buy the stuff you use. Keep al the good videos coming and show us some Rhodies. Best regards

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  5 лет назад +1

      Where are you located? Sorry to hear about the rotted cuttings. The problem definitely sounds like the medium you're using. You definitely want a medium that is inert and is not composted at all. The fine fir bark that I use is fresh and has no composted characteristics at all so by the time it starts rotting, my cuttings are already potted up and growing in containers in the hoop house. Another great medium to use is sand.

    • @wictorsson
      @wictorsson 5 лет назад

      @@MikeKincaid79 I live in south of Sweden, and here we can't buy this. (we are a forest processing country so it's weird) We got bark mulch which is composted. and we got ground cover bark which is nugget size 10-50mm. we also can buy wood chips in big size 20-40mm. This medium is something the industry doesn't do over here, everything gets composted and mixed up with peat in different ways. I will try sand in one bench this fall. I thought it was to alkaline for rhodies. I also will go to a saw mill and see if i can buy it there. It is bark and not wood shavings you use, right?

I am going to try your technique in growing some rose of sharon first. I think as a beginner I will go and get a bag of fine bark form Lowes.

      Sounds like you guys are on your way. You can definitely root tons of cuttings. I use a commercial fertilizer but any slow release fertilizer will work. Try to find something with higher nitrogen, for the evergreens. I have a video about the Apex brand fertilizer I use.

    Hi Mike! I also live in Washington, North of Seattle. What kind of fertilizer are you using on these up potted Laurel? And also, doesn't the fact you have a hoop house make a huge difference?
    I really enjoy your videos!

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  2 года назад

      Thanks Laura! The hoop house is a degree or 2 warmer on sunny days but other than that the temps and humidity are the same inside as outside. I leave both ends open year round and roll up the sides during the summer. The plastic blocks 50% of the sun so it provides a perfect level of shade for young plants.

    Hey Mike! Been watching your videos for a while and really love what you do. I'm in my late 20's and have really taken a liking to propagating old family plants around the property I grew up at, to preserve them for generations to come. I wanted to propagate some of my grandfather's blueberry bushes but have had a hard time with them (still very new to propagation). I wanted to try this method with the frame (it seems more low maintenance than the plastic totes and I work a lot), but am not sure what medium to use to fill it with. I think I heard in another video you made that filling it with coarse sand would work. What do you think would be best for me to fill the frame with for blueberry cuttings? Also, what time of year do you think it would be best for me to take them? I live in Northern PA...any tips would be welcome! Love the videos...keep them coming!

    What is different between soft wood cutting and hardwood cutting, thank you❤

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  5 месяцев назад

      Softwood cuttings are new, current season growth that is green and supple. Hardwood cuttings are taken in the winter from wood that has gone dormant and hardened off. Semi-hardwood cuttings are from material that has begun hardening off and firming up in the late summer/early fall but hasn't gone dormant yet. Semi-hardwood material is usually used for broad leaf evergreen plants.

But i've been taking cuttings and buying / growing plants at my parents house fo the last couple of years getting a head start. I must have 100's already! A lot of ornamental grasses for a no fuss section of garden, a bunch of laurel (200 or so), ferns, fruit trees, eucalyptus oak trees, bulbs..

      Sure but don't over water. Potting soil can hold a lot more moisture. For softwood and semi-hardwood cuttings it should be enclosed to provide humidity and prevent moisture loss from the leaves.
