Hey mike great videos, what time of year should i do this .
Please say hello to Johnie whenever he says hello to us! 🐓
Absolutely brilliant Mike! Excellent information from a pro indeed :)
Glad it was helpful!
You're great on plants, growing up more and more, very interesting, I'll see your part 3 tomorrow !😁👋🌿
I appreciate all your support Robert.
love the frame you made what a good idea
Works great! You really should build one for this spring. It makes rooting cuttings really easy and foolproof.
Just the video I was looking for, thanks
No problem, Skip! Thanks for watching.
Thank You friend
Thanks
Thank you so much for this vid. ❤
No problem, Joy.
Cool, Mike! Thanks! Great video as always! 🐓 hugs from Atlanta! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and everyone on this chanel
Happy thanksgiving to you guys too! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
Thank you so much Mike💜
Great video
Thanks Anita!
That will be interesting to see how your blueberry propagation goes, Mike. As usual, another informative video for our viewing enjoyment.
I'll have to get around to the blueberries eventually.
Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warm water and fresh water can hold more dissolved oxygen than salt water. The maximum amount of DO(dissoled oxygen) that the water can hold is called the saturation value. It’s possible, and very often desired, especially in a greenhouse-to exceed the natural saturation point of DO in water. This is called super-saturation.
Just took my english loral cuttings!!
That's pretty early for the northern hemisphere. You rooting hardwood cuttings or are you in the Southern hemisphere.
@@MikeKincaid79 I'm in Oregon I figured it was a bit early but I've got em indoors I figured I would give em a try.
Hi Mike, Just happened upon your site when i was surfing RUclips. What an enthusiastic gardener you are Your clear instructions is a treat for hungry gardening ears. Love your cuttings to propagate videos. hey, love all your videos. You are such a well informed gardener and you are not worried about where you get your stuff and also advice on how to make your own seed mix ( that fine mulch etc. video). My hubby and I enjoy your videos. Where are you located? If we come your side from canada would love to visit you and see your farm if you dont mind ????
So glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for being a part of our family and at some point I will open the nursery to the public. I'll let everyone know.
I was just given some bay laurel cuttings. I had heard that it is best to take them mid to late summer. Here we are 5 March in zone seven. I’m going to try it.
I find that they root best in mid summer. I usually start taking them in mid July here where I'm at. If you're in the southern hemisphere, then you can probably still take them now and have good success.
Hi Mike, love your videos, looking for some advice, can you tell me how to strike photinia cuttings (
Red robin and Robusta)I just don't seem to be able to get them to root, I've tried all different times of the year soft wood hard wood, I use coarse river sand to strike them in , but nothing seems to work, any ideas on this would be grateful
Fantastic video. Could I use this system for a ginkgo and if so , what’s the best time of year to take the cuttings. Thanks so much.
never tried with a ginko but gives me something to think about
Once again a very good video. Is there a particular rooting hormone you use?. Thank you.
I used dip-n-grow for these
Mike great job on English laural now my question is do I do the same to skip Laurel plus one other question that I here is pros and cons if skip Laurel can winter over in Wisconsin we are in zone 5 ?
Skip laurel is rooted the same way. I think it will overwinter in Wisconsin but I have no personal experience with that climate over there. I'd do a little research before starting the project.
How deep do the roots get in the propagator before transplanting?
Thanks a lot Mike, I have sand in different aggregates in my area, is course sand the best to use as a rooting medium?
I use to think that but over the years I've used different types of sand and found that they all work. I don't really think it matter when it comes to sand.
Thanks for sharing this video. I really wanted to have Laurel plant. Can I have one haha?
They're plentiful throughout the world. You should be able to find some online or in a local nursery.
Hi Mike, doesn't watering wash out the rooting hormone?
Hi Mike, just watched this video...if you could provide any info on how to use this propagation method with Japanese maple softwood cuttings I would be very grateful.......I will build the frame subject to your info provided...it’s really about when to take the JM cutting, what time of year and when, thanks buddy.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but japanese maples don't do well from cuttings. The roots tend to be weaker and they take longer to grow. The rooting success rate is poor as well. I highly recommend growing root stock from seed and then grafting known cultivars onto the root stock. You'll get a much healthy and better growing tree in the long run.
You have a nice setting in a green house for propagation. In Alberta, we can get -40C...so could I successfully clone cuttings inside? Would I need a box-like situation with a lid? Was going to try a plastic tote with cling wrap over the top.... I want to take blueberry cuttings and also potentilla cuttings
You can use a plastic tote, I just really like the wood box setup and have had tremendous success with it. I actually rooted these cuttings in summer. You can root plenty of plants in your climate but make sure they are cold hardy to your area so they can stand up to the cold winter months.
Mike, awesome series! When you say Laurels root very readily, does this also apply to Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia)? Anything you would change to this process if you were propagating wild mountain laurel or wild rhododendron? Thanks!
I would do the same thing for those. The only things I might change is to take them a little later like in August and use bottom heat in the fall and winter.
@@MikeKincaid79 Hello Mike. If I make cuttings in the winter and heat them at the base, how many degrees Celsius do I need at the root and how many degrees Celsius do I need at the level of the leaves. Thank you in advance.
Hey Mike, can you do the same thing with gardenia and daisy gardenia bushes.
Yes, they'll root in summer.
is there a discount code for the membership?
Hi mike
If I use sand in a setup like this, can I over-winter the cuttings in there? Or would you recommend a different medium. Zone 4. Thanks!
Absolutely! I've got some cuttings overwintering in sand right now.
Greetings from Macedonia Mike. Some positive experience for hardwood cutting for japanise maple tree?? Or only softwood cutting? Its November now. THANKS
This set up works great for softwood cuttings. If you want to get into semi-hardwood and hardwoods I recommend getting the program on my website.
can i pull out cuttings placed a month ago in a makeshift bin, and restick them in this frame? maybe in sand rather than the soil mix theyre in now?
I suppose you can do what ever you want to, lol.
my next video is what the heck is english laurel :D really need to make a frame like that. have you had any luck with blueberry cuttings?
Oddly enough, I've actually never tried to propagate blueberry bushes but I plan to at some point in the future. A few years back my wife and I purchased 16 different varieties of blueberries with the intent to propagate and sell them but they're still getting established and I just haven't gotten onto that project yet.
mike: what is the estimated time for forming a root system on the english laurel cutting? i thought that the arborvitae was going to be your choice of blocking out the road? will these be planted behind the arborvitae shrubs.? it's gonna be some thick scaping for a green fence. it will block sight and sound. later, carmine p. happy thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Carmine! Yes, I want a thick hedge! I was actually going to plant these in a corner of the property that has a lot of fir trees already growing there because they do great in shade. I've been considering what you mentioned though, planting a row of them inside the green giants and yes, it will be an indestructible fortress.
Hi Mike, Big Fan! Quick Question. I have cut the cuttings and have them in long window box type container approx 50. Am I right in saying that being July in Ireland that I put them in the Greenhouse for 6 weeks to root and then transplant them into 2 Litre Pots and can I put these pots outside then for the winter to grow once rooted and put into the new pots and will they grow outside over the autumn and winter or are they best kept in a Greenhouse throughout the Autumn and Winter?
Just follow all the steps I took in this series and you'll see what I did. I like to root them and then let them sit in the same frame and medium through the winter, then I pot them up in late winter/early spring while dormant but just before breaking dormancy.
The cells in the roots absorb oxygen from the water in the soil. If the soil is well aerated the water in the soil will absorb oxygen from the air. If the soil is waterlogged the air will diffuse in much more slowly because there is less surface area.
Thanks for the science, Valerie.
You what?
Hello Mike,
Is it ok to plant Boganwelia soft wood cutting in box with cocopeat and Perlite with some amount soil added as no sand here. Thank You
Yes but don't add soil as it will contribute to rot.
@@MikeKincaid79 Yes sure,
it's really a great feeling Mike to listen from You.
and thankful to technology that sitting in India- India and i m getting guidance by You. Dhanywad... Called Thank You in Indian languages.
Hi mike, I planted softwood English laurel on Saturday and today when I’ve checked most of the leaves and top stalks have turned brown.
The bottom stalks remain green. Is this normal or have I done something wrong
Thanks
It's too early in the season for broad leaf evergreens like laurel. Take them in mid summer, like mid July or even a little later. The new growth needs to be slightly more hardened off "semi-firm".
Thanks for all the info! I'm in Vancouver BC and just trying this. How long before I can replant? In other words, how long before a good root system will grow?
Depends on the plant. These took a couple months to get a good root system going but I left them in all winter and potted them up the following spring.
Hey Mike, how come there is no heat underneath the frame for the laurels? Is it because it’s in the hoop house
Because these will fully root in the middle of summer before the cold weather.
Hello Mike, how about the distance of fig softwood cuttings? Is it ok to put them tide in the box too?
I don't recommend taking softwood cuttings of figs so that's completely new territory that you'll have to experiment with.
@@MikeKincaid79 hello thx for your advice and concern. I would give it a try as experiment and see how it goes, and let you know, so we both can get some knowledge related. I try to do it the safe way first. You are really good and I look foreward we could share more in the future. Even about growing plants or business. Take care.
Just a quick one what you propagate them in? Compost ??
fine fir bark
have you ever propagated pluots or plums, im having trouble getting them to root with vermiculite, but i well keep trying, enless you found a way to clone them
🙃
I've never tried but I did buy a couple plum trees last spring so eventually I'll work on that one.
How many nodes did you put down into the bark 1 or 2?
1 or 2, lol. I didn't count. I just sink these in until they almost hit leaf.
Can you leave the pots outside or do they need to be in a tunnel
They can be outside as long as the sun doesn't directly hit the glass lid.
how often should it be watered, since it condenses constantly?
It really doesn't need to be watered as long as there is moisture in the frame.
What kind of sand could I use to do propagate your cutting
coarse sand
I’m thinking planting Laurels for a privacy hedge. I see you get some negative feedback about Laurels. What are some drawbacks about them that makes people not like them?
I love laurel, it's large, green, waxy leaves are absolutely beautiful and make a great hedge. The drawbacks depend on your objective. They get really big if left unpruned and are hard to get rid of once established (if you ever wanted to dig them up or plant something different. They are best suited for people who either have a lot of space or a lot of desire to prune. These are considered drawbacks by some but not to me. I have lots of space and love pruning!
Mike Kincaid thanks for the reply, I’ve got lots of space (5 acres). Probably leaning toward Portuguese laurel if I can get my hand on some.
Is this frame possible for aqatic plants
Aquatic plants should be propagated in water.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks for the info and can you make a Aquatic plant series
what type of rooting hormone have you used?
ruclips.net/video/dQPQ2myM2Dk/видео.html
@@MikeKincaid79 Many thanks!
Watched your family trip 2 the bulb farm.The MOST UNDERVALUED BULB is Dutch Iris -trouble free ,will multiply;plant in clumps of 12 or so.Also Alliums are a great garden plant &are available in a range of colours.Multi flowering tulips are a better bet &the early gregii &kaufmannia tulips are not only xtra early but do multiplyas well.Go 2 dutch bulbs .co.uk &see the range ;most shud be available in the Usa as well
My wife loves those bulbs! Wow, I'm amazed you saw that video. I made it over 2 years ago and didn't think anyone watched those old videos anymore.
@@MikeKincaid79 Somewhere there is an archeologist in me! U R obviously blessed with acid soil &thd damp NE Pacific weather -so ideal for 2 gems :Meconopsis(himalyan blue poppy)&erythroniums(dog tooth violets).To grow thru yr barrier privacy hedge Cif U can find the himalayan Rosa gigantica ;single big flowers sith dosehips the size of small apples! Will gain U many more KINKAIDETTES & will b a traffic stopper.U grow apples so how about a few crab apples -many new varieties including some weeping ones &variegated types.In winter ,when food is scarce,the birds ( feathered not KINKAIDETTES)will thank U.
Is the English Laurel the same as the Mountain Laurel? Where can I get the rooting hormones?
2 different plants. I get my rooting hormone on Amazon.
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you, I have plenty of Mountain Laurel, I love the smell. Rhody is called Big Laurel here also.
Incidentally, mountain laurel are propagated the same way as rhododendrons. I love those plants too.
what type of rooting hormone have you used
Would this be good for roses?
Yes
Mike Kincaid one more question now that winters on its way I see garden centers have holly shrubs for sale.
The ones with the red berries and they are super expensive like 45.00 a bush , my parents have holly bushes near their front porch.
I read holly is very hard to root from cuttings do you have any suggestions?
Thanks 🙏🏻 I’m going to try it from their bushes.
Take as semi-hardwood cuttings in late summer/early fall or as hardwood cuttings in the late winter, use bottom heat, and give them a lot of time to root.
Mike Kincaid ty I just learned also that there are male and female holly plants males don’t make berries females do so thankfully my parents have one of each .
Looks like the box is made from pressure treated lumber. Doesn't that leach bad chemicals into the soil?
Been using it for over a decade and never had a problem.
do they have enough air in that box?
Plenty. Keep watching the updates and see how big they are now.
@@MikeKincaid79 ok
OMG knock me over with a feather! After a week on my fig cuttings, I got roots in mid air and none under the soil! Think I must have used too much rooting chemical and it evaporated into the air.
If the fig cuttings are in a humid environment they will do that. I don't recommend propagating them that way.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks Mike, I'll definitely take that advice!
Did i miss it, what is the soil? should I water them every so often
Fine fir bark is what I use. I explain it in the first video in this series.
With dip and grow and comparable powder root hormones, I've had 95% effective rate with laurel, just leaving 2 leaves, 12" or so, even stuck right in fence line, soil material doesn't matter to much... Skinning the lower couple inches to turn to root, dipping, setting, in small pods... Don't think about it just do it. wait 6 months for them to grow, and plant.
Right on!
Im doing this. What is the best month to start with cuttings?
I tried sand and dip it on dip n grow and never rooted. Too bad I’m just gonna buy the 🌱 plant.
Don't give up so easy, you may be one try away from success.
So yeah you will see me a lot. lol. What is the best time of the year to propagate cuttings? When should I collect cuttings?
I don't mind. Different plants root under different conditions so it would be better to pick a specific plant you want to root and then ask about that plants specific requirements.
I don't know why they call it English Laurel this plant is actually native to Iran only (lest it grows in the wild (feral) in South east Europe and Turkey but it's not native there)
Interesting. It sure did find a great home in the cooler climates, stuff grows like crazy!
I don’t know why but all my leaves fall off lol
too much moisture and heat
wont watering them so soon rinse away the rooting chemicals off
No, it's just meant to soak in the hormone for about 7 seconds. I also let them sit in the frame for 30 to 60 minutes before watering. Everything good that happens, happens in that time frame. Thanks for asking.
kill the loud music
Too late
Like the content .. but not the repetitive and super exaustive delivery
Thanks for the critique. I explain everything so thoroughly because I get so many questions about all the fine details over and over again so I try to include everything I can think of that will answer the questions so that people can be successful at this right away. The funny thing is, I usually get questions that I already answered in the video because people don't watch the whole video, lol. It's a catch 22.
May have good information, but the delivery for me is obnoxious.
Yelling and repeating the same thing over and over.
No offense, just some constructive criticism that you can take or leave.
I'm not classically trained in the fine art of video production but that's the beauty of RUclips. Thanks for the criticism.
Mike, you’re great. You are exactly what we want and need. Just ignore the nay sayers.
i see the delivery as enthusiasm for the topic. i like that!
