Good stuff! I was looking up 'how to propagate heuchera'. I am not disappointed. I have different heuchera's in my garden. Gonna propagate them end of the winter, to make the front yard top notch by the end of spring!
Thank you so much for the specifics, such as root nodules and flower stems. A neighbor gave me a few older, woody, divided Coral Bells without roots, and I was concerned about having to root them before planting. This helps so much!
Thank you. Heuchera would be a perfect plant if not for that annoying habit of hoisting itself out of the ground and needing division, am I right? I have a couple that will probably produce a lot of divisions. I need to get to it. Your pride of ownership in your house and garden really shows.
thank you! we purchased the home 5 years ago and it’s still a work in progress but I love what we have accomplished so far. And yes, that is certainly a downside to heucheras. But they are Soooooo easy to propagate and so low maintenance that I can’t complain overall.
I very much enjoyed your video. I followed your directions but after about 5 hours, the little plants are beginning to wilt. Is this normal? Are they simply adjusting themselves to the shock? They should straighten up and look healthy again in a few days I hope. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!
yes some wilting is normal, especially if the temperature is fluctuating or there are watering issues. within a few weeks, you might see improvement. most of mine lived but some of them died, so it’s also just nature too. You can’t always control. don’t get too down on yourself if not all make it. did you water them in?
I have never done that before, but that’s an interesting question! so i’m not sure. I have heard of people using hostas and heucheras as houseplants, but not sure how they would do with water propagation. It’s so easy to propagate with soil so water propagation never occurred to me.
yes it’s a really good technique if you are patient and can keep them watered in the heat of the summer. I don’t have an update video but I can tell you that about 60% of them survived and are doing well. The ones that did not survive were on the steepest part of the incline in my front yard, so it was hard to keep it watered because of run off. It was totally user error. And I was ok with taking a hands off approach with this project though. It was either that or throw the plant out, so it was worth the 60% survival rate.

yes most of them did root! a few bit the dust but that was user error. so didn’t water them. if I had been more diligent, more of them would have rooted!
you can do that anytime. however, keep in mind that it’s hard to keep them alive in the heat of summer if you are the “plant it and hope they survive” style gardener. So I prefer late summer, early fall so the heat is not so intense and the plant can focus on root development.

good luck! it’s an affordable way to do it. If you want more “instant impact” put more than one plug in each hole.

nope. stick them right in there and monitor them the first year, and you will be fine!
@@foreverbloomswithjennifer8859 Thanks again! Yay!

Your garden is beautiful!
thank you so much! it’s a labor of love and on a budget! ❤️❤️
Nice! ❤

Thank you for making this video!! Very informative!
you are welcome! they will grow slow but steady! it’s definitely worth it, if you have the patience
Hello Jennifer I’m Jerry from n.c. This was a great vid. Love coral bells ❤
hey jerry! I am glad you enjoyed this video. I love them too! They bring such weight and color to the garden! 😄🌿🌞
@@foreverbloomswithjennifer8859
And very forgiving 🙏
@@jerryodell1192 yes, all of these are thriving this year! no special treatment or fertilizer or compost. Just living! lol 👍🏽🌿
@@foreverbloomswithjennifer8859
So true 😀. Fert makes mine not flower. Good luck with them😎👍
It was so easy to divide them!
yes it was! just keep them well watered and toss them some fertilizer that first and second season and they are great for dividing.
do you think the cuttings will root in water?
I have never done that before, but that’s an interesting question! so i’m not sure. I have heard of people using hostas and heucheras as houseplants, but not sure how they would do with water propagation. It’s so easy to propagate with soil so water propagation never occurred to me.
What is the tall blue plant next to the huechera?
that’s veronica!
Love! Do you have an update on the space?!

What blue green hosta is that to your right?
How did they root?

Did they end up rooting in?

whoa This is what I was looking for , but the camera work seriously made me motion sick.
sorry to hear that! I know lots about gardening but I do not have fancy cameras! I have to use my phone.
What kind of tree in your bed?
hello. it’s a natchez crepe myrtle
What varity of heuchera is this?
I believe this one is “caramel”.
You really make me want to up my flower game next year!
you will never regret planting a flower! perennial is nice for filler stuff. even the heuchera blooms!
