great demonstration. love the footage, honest and not highbrow
Thank you.
THanks Stewart. I lost a half of a gorgeous gravillea to an ice storm this past winter (I'm in Seattle WA) Hoping to get some new plants started from cuttings .
Brilliant!!! I've often wondered how to make cuttings of rosemary and grevillea!
Thanks Stewart for your informative, down-to-earth video. I'm now feeling inclined to go tackle a few Grevillea cuttings & possibly a few other things. :)
Thank you Linda. I hope they go well for you.
Thanks for the great video!!
I am cheap, I buy the powder. The gel is about $11.Right now is the best time to collect the semi-hardwood. I am doing some gardenias and carnations this weekend. I will pot up some fig, gardenias and mulberry cuttings that I rooted last year during winter. I am going to try my hand at air-layering too this week.
Great demonstration Stewart.
Glad you liked it! Thanks, Una
Hi , thank you for your video . I took some cuttings yesterday and will now try and propagate them ππ½
Best of luck with then.
Thank you for sharing that's great....
Thanks for this info Stewart. Mine worked really well using your method.
Lovely to hear. Thatβs great news. So glad it worked well for you.
What did you propagate ?
@@SusanRichardsDay I don't know which one this is. I was growing in a garden without a name.
Thanks Stewart.
Very welcome
Cheers thanks!
Thank you for your comment.
Never heard of grevillea. Lovely
They are a native Australian plant, where are you?

Hi Stewart, Many thanks :) ... What's your recommendation for watering of the grevillea cuttings? (planning to do it now ... (October) Thanks ...
Hi Bruce, if the weather is warm then making sure the propagation media is kept moist is important. Usually daily and early in the morning. Also using a trigger bottle spray or the mist setting on a hose attachment a few times a day to help to keep the leaves moist is good.
Iβm curious though why you are taking your cuttings now in October though.From mid summer on when the current seasons new growth is hardening off is a better time.
Best of luck.
Thanks Stewart ... I'll follow that advice - good stuff... As to why now? I just had the idea to do it, so thought I'd give it a go anyway even though the timing is not ideal.... If it doesn't work, I'll try again in Feb/March :) No harm done! @@StewartDorman
Ok, thanks. Let me know how it works out.
I'm in the uk and from what I have just read the cuttings I was given by a neighbour should not have been taken much earlier in the year? However, I have given it a go. Just not sure what to do after preparing the cuttings. My instinct was to put them in my cold garage over winter near some light and keep them watered? Any advice welcome Great video. Thanks.
How did the grevilleas work out? How long did it take for root growth?
+AKA Nathan The grevilleas struck in about six weeks. If taken in March/April they would have struck sooner.
Cheers, I have done 36 cuttings, I used honey as I didn't have any hormone powder or liquid. They are sitting in an automated propagation tray at work. So hope they take.
+AKA Nathan. Update on the ground cover grevillea cuttings.
Almost 3 mths and only have about 4 taking roots (leaves still green, start of new growth, but no roots visible, just the scaring)
A week ago one of the school students left the automated watering off for the weekend and the pots dried out and I lost about 10.
When inspecting the base of the dead ones, they had developed scaring around the wound, but still no roots.
I'm guessing this variety is more difficult to strike then other more common varieties.
I'm planing on having another go. Next batch will use 3 different treatments, hormone powder, liquid and honey. Just hope can get better results.
+AKA Nathan . I think the variety is called Royal Mantle. Very low growing ground cove, with tooth brush like flowers.
Do you know if I could propagate Grevillea using a larger cutting? Just now trying it out and have about 4 . really hoping it works as the shrub is gorgeous .
Nasus Yad Youβve got nothing to lose by trying but 50 to 100mm has been found to give the best results.
@@StewartDorman Do you know what that is in inches LOL , sorry no clue what mm is .
@@SusanRichardsDay 2 to 4 inches. You could go to 6 inches at a stretch.
this method works for grevillea robusta?
Species grevilleas like robusta would be quicker and easier from seed.
Keep an eye on the seed pods that develop after flowering and when they dry and split you can sow the seeds. They sprout fairly easy.
β@@StewartDorman Hi thank you for you answer, I found seeds yesterday, How Can I sprout them?
Is it okay water native cuttings daily?
Probably desirable. As long as you have them in a free draining propagation or potting mix.
Thanks for your advice. :)
How did they go in the end?
Itβs been a while now but I think I got half to strike.
Very poor explanation
wtf?
Robert, have you been putting Grevillia cuttings in your bong again? That would explain your confusion
