Perfect timing with this video, thanks. I'm in California (USDA zone 9b) & just started getting serious about propagating cuttings a couple weeks ago. I've done simple water propagation in the past but that won't work for most of the things I want to propagate now. Seeing how you cut the pieces for propagating was much more helpful than anything I have read. I started with a large cutting from a rose of sharon that I made several smaller cuttings from. Most are showing new growth which is exciting. Next up, propagating some cuttings off an old climbing rose because I want to have it in a different location but I can't transplant the existing one. Now my mind is churning with ideas of how to build a very small scale humidity crib for propagations & where I could place it on our small suburban lot.
🌷Hello from southeast Michigan USA. I enjoy watching you and getting a glimpse of your beautiful country. This propagating technique was fascinating and I hope to try it, if only I could be as successful as you! Thank you so much - look forward to seeing you next time 🌸🌼🌱🪴
Hello from Louisiana, USA. Thank you for all the wonderful information! I’ve propagated a few things before but now I feel empowered to do more! Thanks!
Love this -- thanks! What would happen if you grew your cuttings in a clear plastic container? Do they need dark around the roots? In clear plastic I'd be able to see roots growing. Or not.
You can buy special pots with wholes vertically all the way around so roots can travel through them, excellent for rooting cuttings/plants and orchids which you can place in water and in an easterly position so just morning sun. I have had so much success I don’t know what to do with all the plants ready to plant. I am having so much success with elderberry cuttings even a 4 plus foot piece leaves growing all along the stems from under water to the tip? I grow new dahlia tree using the 1 foot long bales cut from the plant horizontally in a very low furrow and replace some soil then I placed eucalyptus mulch on top of them that has sat for over 12 months in a mound and I removed from the mound’s base and it was lovely and wet and full of worms 🪱 very thick ones. Just today I found three out of four bales have greenery growing beautifully in two or three spots. Awesome result. Just thought I would give it a go. I will have to cut them apart as it will be too crowded. More sharing.
I am home gardener - def not professional and am drooling over your mister setup Steven! I've had some cuttings inside over winter and I didnt want them in zip bags for aesthetic reasons ;) So I got some very large cookie type glass jars from Kmart, removed the rubber seal and they seem to be working well, and aren't too ugly :)
My method is crude indeed. I use what some propagators call "granny greenhouses" ...Small plastic containers that my salad mixture comes in...I drill holes in the bottom and they seal to create the moisture...I said crude and I meant it...I wish I was more methodical and thorough but I'm lazy and unorganized...my percentages are good for some things and minimal for others,,,,,but it is fun indeed.
I am a new subscriber and loving your channel. I'd like to know if I can propagate Juniperus conferta? I have some cuttings and would like to know which section of the stems to use. Any guidance is much appreciated.
Best way to strike Wisteria in the home garden is to layer it into the ground or a pot. Score the stem and cover it with soil or potting mix and keep it moist through summer. It should be a new plant ready to sever from the parent the following winter. Regards Stephen
If you are in Australia I stock the stainless steel dibbers at my nursery and you could ring and order from me on 0354263075 between 10 and 5 closed Wednesday and Thursday.
If the cuttings are in a zip lock bag and moist to start with then they probably won’t need water. Cuttings with no cover water well twice a day and syringe leaves with water as often as you can
That was fantastic! I look forward to trying this method and getting more success 😊
Good luck! Thanks for watching!

Many thanks for watching - I know! SO much brilliant insider experience from Stephen!

Many thanks for finding us!
So glad you told us the name of your pencil, I often find completely blank labels on the allotment! 🙂
Thanks for watching Shirley - no more blank labels!!

best of luck with it, and l’m glad we have inspired you. Regards Stephen
Just subscribed! Been watching your videos and love how informative you guys are. 😊

clear plastic containers could work but I would slide them into another opaque one to keep light away. Regards Stephen

Well done! Whatever works for you. Regards Stephen
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching Diane!
this is very useful for me, as i grow a lot of plants seeds and cutting, thanks you for the master class
You are very welcome. Regards Stephen
Love your content. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! That was your best episode 👏
Perhaps that's just my opinion because I'm a snipper. I use perlite or Vermiculite. Excellent job 👍
Thanks for watching our epic!
@@thehorti-culturalists My pleasure 👍
Awesome video! 🤟🤟
Many thanks for watching!
Thanks. But do you water the perlite? Before or after your insert cuttings?
And how often after that?
I don't think Stephen saw this comment but he answered a similar question further down by @Marion B
[I had the same question :) ]

Well thanks for watching!
Again very interesting thank you
Many thanks for watching!
Always have a ziplock bag - this is my life 😂
Very important!

Use the tips of the stems and make cuttings about 6' long . I would also dip the base in a hardwood cutting liquid hormone treatment. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists thank you for your prompt response. I just have the powder, would that work? And how long do you anticipate it to grow roots?
Where can we order the dinner from?
Thank you ! Struggling to strike wisteria, has anyone have any tips

@@thehorti-culturalists thank you !
Where can we order the dibber from?

The 1st thing you need for propagating is a lovely pint of guinness in the middle of the table 😂 at least that's what it looks like 😂
Thanks for watching!
what about watering
If the cuttings are in a zip lock bag and moist to start with then they probably won’t need water. Cuttings with no cover water well twice a day and syringe leaves with water as often as you can
Eventually you give up😂😂😂
Our viewers don’t give up! Regards Stephen
