Thanks for making this video. It was very helpful since I’d like to propagate my queen lime red zinnias because I’m out of seeds and they are sold out everywhere.
I am an older gardener and I want to share a lesson I learned this year. I spent over $20 on special zinnia seed and proceeded to spread the seed on two year old pine straw and then a fine dusting of peat moss and vermiculite. No flowers. Seems that pine straw has tannin or some sort of acid that seeds don't like.
This was so helpful - Thankyou! I’m in UK & growing zinnias for the first time so this was really useful. I watched your ‘pinching zinnias’ video first & now am going to see if the pinchings will grow into more plants. 😃
Love the tutorial. Thank you! Your videos always motivate me to work on my garden. I'm planning so many new cutting flowers for next year after finding your channel!
Very nice. I take my cuttings I’m going to propagate and dip them in either a rooting hormone or Mycorrhizae and then stick them in Rapid Rooter plugs and they grow a super strong root system and much faster than just water or plain soil. When I start them from seed I put the seeds in plugs too. It’s been so hot in south Florida that they seem to grow so fast I can’t keep up with them. Thanks for these great informative videos you do.
Tysm. I never knew zinnias would grow from cuttings. I have some that are growing well, not flowering yet but look healthy. I will try this. Ty again. : )
Oh perfect! The chipmunks chewed my zinnias down at the base. I’ve had the entire plant minus the roots sitting in water for the last 4 days. It seems to be living just fine in a 2 liter bottle, but I will try to take cuttings and grow some roots!
I got some zinderella peach zinnia seeds and the pack didn’t really have a whole lot. I will start them inside and try to propagate them to get more! Thanks for the video to make this possible for me! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that when I have a garden question... I KNOW where to go FRESHCUTKY... she will know!!! Your like our mama gardener!!
I had two Zinnias that both grew multiple flowers outside my garden box that had a cemented border wall and my cemented driveway; so basically in between a crack. They grew strong, tall and very showy! Last night, a storm knocked them over and I am heartbroken it’s mid-August in South Carolina so I don’t think I can propagate them.
Ooh I'll have to try snipping the leaves for my next zinnia propagation!! Thanks for the tips!! Now I just have to figure out how to organically deal with these pesky lace bugs that have been sucking my zinnia leaves dry 😭!!
This was really helpful I never know if it is better to just start more seeds or just try cuttings. My zinnias are just getting buds cause I started them late.
These are beautiful. I grew one recently and it’s been blooming for a while, I love it. I grew it indoors with a bunch of other plants. Lots of coleus. But I have a question. What makes a zinnia grow into a big ball full of petals versus the other type where it’s all yellow in the middle and not as many petals? And two, there is a second smaller bud nearly blossoming much lower now. Is it possible to take a cutting of that second arm w the bud or take a cutting some other way?
Thank you. How long will it take for blooms to appear? I’ve had such trouble starting from seeds, most have failed. So the few that are growing (no flowers yet) I may use this method to get mor zinnias. Really appreciate this video!
Zinnias - my favorite flower! Thanks for this video....I love options when growing flowers. I think we are in the same growing area. I'm in Louisville, KY (6b).
Do you have general advice on growing zinnias? Mine have crispy leaves yet there is also new growth. They are zahara zinnia. I live in zone 8a and it's blazing hot but I water mine daily if the soil is dry. I can't find anything online about zinnia problems except root rot.
@@TONYAwiththeflowers I haven't seen any pests around these flowers but I'll keep an eye out for them. It's happening to all of my zinnias which are in containers scattered around my yard.
Will this work ok trailing zinnias? I bought a really pretty Profusion Cherry Bicolor Zinnia. please look it up on google.. OMG it is blooming non stop since spring and very disease resistant. I have them on my metal tricycles. I really would love to propagate more for next year.
Hi, I've read elsewhere that you're supposed to cut right above a leave node instead of right below. What is the difference? Also- should we pinch back a single zinnia plant more than one time before it blooms? Or just one initial time?
Cut just below node as that is where the roots will form. The more you pinch back the bushier the plant becomes, I pinch back once so the plant will still grow tall.
Like straight into the garden soil? If so, that was definitely the problem. Soilless potting mix is best for rooting cuttings. Also, zinnia cuttings in water may be best if the weather is really hot where you are. Good luck! 🌱🌱🌱

Didn't know you could do this with zinnias! I'll have to try this.
Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

Thanks for sharing your experience !
They like pine bark near my rose bushes the best. I live in south FL.
Hi when the flowers are dry collect them and save them for next year does are the seeds ,no need to buy new seeds, happy planting !!!!!!!
Sorry you lost your flowers. Seems silly, but it really is a big disappointment. Ty so much for sharing this .
They need good soil contact
Nice video, but I would like to see the root system. I'll look for more of your videos! Thanks!
Very informative! Thank you!
Thank you this was very helpful 🥰🥰
Great tutorial, as always!
So looking forward to seeing the results and picking up more tips...Steve...🌱
This was very informative! Thanks girl!
I had no idea you could grow zinnias from cuttings.
Me to I thought all seed plants can’t have cuttings
@@jashithadvaithdances1136 I’ve grown all my coleus from seed and made cuttings. Growing well 👍🏼

What beautiful blooms, I had to keep going back to watch the last part with butterflies 🦋, gorgeous!

I learn something new today.I will try and let you know. Thank you very much.
This was very informative! Thankyou for sharing and I am enjoying all your videos here in North Idaho zone 6a 💚🌿🌻

These big leaves look yummy.

Beautiful flower s
I just subscribed. I discovered my love for growing and anticipate learning so much more.🌺

Very nice video Medem

I'm behind too. I think growing from seed is definitely easier if it's available. 🌱🌱🌱

Whenever I've done it, it's about the same - 8ish weeks from transplant time. 🌱🌱🌱
👍

Hi neighbor! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🎉🎉🎉

Browning leaves can also be caused by damage done by Japanese beetles or leafhoppers. Have you seen either?
@@TONYAwiththeflowers I haven't seen any pests around these flowers but I'll keep an eye out for them. It's happening to all of my zinnias which are in containers scattered around my yard.

Where do I find your blog please? This was really interesting
www.freshcutky.co
What camera did you use to take those bees and butterflies footages?
I know that it's a Canon. My local library allows people to check them out. I'll get more details next time I use it. 🌱🌱🌱🌱
FRESHCUTKY Cut Flower & Vegetable Garden thanks, I m gonna try with my iphone7.
Please tell my zinnia are grown short and leaaves are curly please tell
Hi, I've read elsewhere that you're supposed to cut right above a leave node instead of right below. What is the difference?
Also- should we pinch back a single zinnia plant more than one time before it blooms? Or just one initial time?
I successfully rooted zinnia cuttings without the leaf node method. Same with my Cosmos cuttings. I see no difference.
Cut just below node as that is where the roots will form. The more you pinch back the bushier the plant becomes, I pinch back once so the plant will still grow tall.
Did you use a special variety of Zinnia? The flowers are much larger than the zinnias I grew.
I'm growing the Benary's Giants series. 🌱🌱🌱
Thank you seeds are not good here right now
Hey, have you grown any filler like eucalyptus or frosted light (I think that’s what it’s called)?
I tried growing some eucalyptus this season, and it was a complete failure. 🌱🌱🌱
What variety were those pale lilac pink small zinnias at the end of the video?
I believe they were zinderella lilac. 💕
They're 'Zinderella Lilac' 🌱🌱🌱
Hi I love this flowers but they get meldow
I guess I did these wrong. I put them straight on the ground and they died within days. 🤣😡🤣😳 Back here to watch the video again.
Like straight into the garden soil? If so, that was definitely the problem. Soilless potting mix is best for rooting cuttings. Also, zinnia cuttings in water may be best if the weather is really hot where you are. Good luck! 🌱🌱🌱
The Japanese beetles are eating all my zinnia foliage ☹️
Mine too. Fortunately, we'll only have to deal with the beetles for a few more weeks. 🌱🌱🌱
