How To Take Plant Cuttings

- This video explains how to take cuttings from plants in order to propagate and create more plants. This type of stem cutting works on most plants and is probably one of the easiest. I also explain the science behind cuttings and where on the stem it needs to be cut. The example used is the water method. This type of cutting is called a softwood cutting, its suitable for many plants but always double check online or in book to see which type of cutting will work best for your particular plant.

Little anxious to try this. My parents had a lovely cherry tree in the garden. Sadly they're selling the house, so I'll be trying to get some cuttings from it before they sell it, to try and preserve some of my childhood memories.
I'm doing the same with my Grandma's roses 🌹
If it's not too late, you should look into air-layering it.
@Oscar Zamora ??? What's your problem???
There's nothing wrong with wanting to preserve some part of something that has a lot of meaning to you.
Did you manage to grow the cuttings?
Toby Walker what’s that?
So like hypothetically I could go to a garden centre with a bag and some scissors and never have to buy one again 👀
You're a genius
Yup!

Ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣 Right!!!
I do it with pond plants 😎😂
I did this by accident. I love picking flowers on my walks. 3 weeks ago picked a thick sterm plant. 3 weeks later its rooting in my cup. Its my little miracle plant baby.
As a biologist, I really like how scientific you got, down to apical meristems! Very cool vid, well done!
I took two cuttings from my mint plant, just to check if this really worked the way you said. It worked splendidly! The two new mint plants are growing new roots and they're even starting to grow little stems from the bottom node. They're so beautiful.
Would love to see a timelapse of the rooting process
This
Thought you said rotting for a second lol
I love how you sectioned the plant in half to show the transportation system and explain how the nodes work. Fantastic! I've tried this method with Tradescantia and it worked beautifully. I'm currently trying this with my poor Dahlia who has been destroyed by aphids and slugs. Fingers crossed, hopefully it works too!
I'm glad you've enjoyed my video, this method works on most plants that have stems although some are easier than others. Your Dahlia should root with this method, just watch out for rot as Dahlia cuttings often rot easily if the water is not changed enough.
@@Gardeningat58N Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure I change the water regularly!🙏☺️🌸
best explanation i've ever heard on this topic - thanks very much for the clarity !
THANK YOU. Sometimes I'll be walking around and I see a plant and I think. " man I want that"and now I can 👌👌
Helpful
Now I’m never going to buy a new plant again mwahaha
Anthony PC how’s propagation going? I have a bunch of obvious plants propagating like pathos and cactus... wondering what else I can do
@@okaymom4165 lmao same
THANKS! For your uncompromising clarity. Clear explanations, in simple terms, are a guarantee on this channel.
Sir, I thank you for providing this well-detailed yet concise explanation of plants and root cuttings. Many people don’t appreciate plants but after watching your video, I hope they do!
finally a video that is well explained!!!! I have been trying to propagate plants for like ever with no luck. Ive put them in water, cut it at a slant, put them straight into medium after covering it with root stimulating powder, all dried out. Now that i know where to cut it, i am excited to try again!!! Thanks!
Thank you for fully explaining how plants actually root this way! I now know why I haven't been able to root in water! Thank you!!
did this for the first time ever myself and can't believe it actually worked lol, thanks
So useful to watch this. Thanks for explaining about plant stems and the nodes. We’ve got a few on the go, and I think this will help us improve the growth of our cuttings.
Thank you so much for explaining the process so clearly. I find it much easier to remember how to do something when I know why it's done a certain way.
This helped so much. I wondered why the first piece I cut rotted below a certain part
Play at 1.5 to alleviate anxiety
Thank you so much. This was really helpful for a gardening novice like me. Can't wait to try it ⚘
I did this experiment when I was only 10 years old in Haiti. I used a lamp bulb with water and cut out a branch of the flowers. It worked out like magic. I never saw anyone did it before.
Interesting, I’m trying to grow a plant from a leaf I found in Florida. Apparently, it’s a popular lougouwa Haitian plant.
@@essys1991 Make sure it's outside exposing to the sun.
Learned a couple of things, really informative.
1) The mother plant looks really really vigorous and healthy. What is the secret? :)
2) Do you keep the mother plant in full sun/half sun?
3) What do you feed it and how often?
4) And lastly, info about watering schedule please.
I keep the Mother plant on a bright south east facing windowsill which get a little direct sunlight first thing in the morning and then just indirect bright light for the rest of the day. I feed it regularly, about once a week, with a feed high in nitrogen which encourages it to grow large healthy leaves. Because its in such a small pot I actually water it about twice a day, but I only water it once the pot feels very light as if its kept damp all the time the roots will start to rot.

Many thanks. This is clear and easy.
Great, easy to follow explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. My pothos is thriving and I’m going to give this a try! Thank you!
Excellent. Exactly what I needed to know. I accidently snapped a sunflower stem today on a very healthy plant and was really bummed about it. There are plenty of other similar sized stems on this plant but it waa still disappointing. I'm going to try to follow your advice and see if I can't get some roots to grow in water at the node of the broken stem and hopefully transplant it.
Thank you so much, this is the best explanation and demonstration on how to succeed at cuttings, cheers
Thanks for the tips!
the basil is immense, really simple helpful video, going to do this for mint
Good luck with your mint, mint cuttings are even easier than basil cuttings.
You’re a great instructor. Taught me everything I wanted to know. And I’m the type to ask 100 questions. Awesome stuff, thank you for this!
Thanks, I'm glad you found my video educational.
Wow you're Wonderful...Mother Earth is truly Magical 🌱🌿
Amazing explanation, I'm brand new to gardening and I got an allotment this year and its my first time ever, this is so helpful because I had no idea.
It also makes growing and gardening 100x cheaper LOL
You earned a new sub
I do this with the Geraniums I love. Don’t see them often in nurseries so I still can have it. I root them with potting soil under grow lights. This year I plant to take more cuttings.
Hello, I've been looking how to take and grow cuttings from my neighbours honeysuckle plant which has grown over my wall, and there seems to be a lot of different advice. I live in the uk, in sussex which generally has pretty good sunny summers. Some videos say you can take green wood cuttings in early spring, some say wait til mid summer. Another one I read said to wait until the wood hardens and take in mid to late summer. Then, most videos say to cut the cuttings and strip the bottom two nodes like in your vid, some say to dip in rooting hormone, others to soak in water then pot in soil. One video said you can dip the cutting in a cup of previously boiled water which was mixed with honey then cooled before dipping to give the cutting nutrients, then to plant in damp soil in a pot. Some would then say leave the cuttings in a partially sunny spot, others would say put the potted cutting inside a plastic bag and leave in a fairly sunny spot, and check it regularly and keep the soil damp to wet
Then others say to put the cutting in water like you have with the basil. What do you think is the best method?
I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts, as you seem to very knowledgable. Many thanks :) (I've subscribed also)
I took a cutting from my dad’s honeysuckle and put in a jar with water and it grew roots then planted in my garden .. it is now growing so large it covers the wall result !
This was so helpful and concise and well-explained! Thank you so much ❤️
I'm glad it was helpful.
thx i needed this for my project
I hope it helps :)
That was exactly what I needed, thank you!
So so helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video! So informative. Thank you so much. I feel much more confident in taking clippings and caring for my propagations.
Thanks, good luck with your cuttings.
Thank you. Love that you explained the science behind the method
Glad you enjoyed it
This is very interesting! I didn’t realize that the nodes are the structure that is capable of producing roots! I collect orchids, and orchids do the same (flowers and keikis come from nodes). I heard of this method to speed up rooting on a cutting. First plant several beans on cotton and water. When the beans sprout, place then (without the cotton balls) in a blender with some water. Turn it on. Let the liquid be very homogenous. (I’m not sure you are supposed to filter it or not), then you can use this growth hormone directly into the soil or spread it on the stem cutting and them placing it in the water. It is supposed to speed growth and encourage new roots.
I've never tried that before, but it may work because of the high hormones levels. Usually hormones are not required as the plant will produce its own after a few days, but they can speed things up, especially commercial rooting hormones.
very informative and precise! thank you. Great looking Basil plant there too.
Thanks
Your Basil plant looks so good and healthy! I think I will try and plant one! Thanks for this video because I have a plant that is really growing and part of it is hanging down from my table. Now I know how to cut it at the right places before putting it in water to grow roots and to eventually replant them in soil. Thanks again!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you found my video useful, did you also watch my basil video which goes into more detail about using this technique on Basil plants?
No but I will check out the more detailed video with the basil.
thank you , so helpful !
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful.
That is very helpful, thank you. Hoping that you will expand on this a little more soon.
This is an excellent video, thank you Mister 58 North!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant video once again buddy! 👌👌 Great information and very helpful for a novice such as myself. I’ve contracted the gardening bug. This weekend I’ve bought a fan plan, 2 hardy fuschia, honeysuckle and 2 lupins! Now I’m the process of hunting all over Glasgow for a fairly nice plant pot as they’re all sold in those unsightly brown plastic delights.... oh the wonder of being a woman who likes fancy stuff 😂😂😂 Have a good one and thanks for all the brill info 🎖🎖🎖
Nice. Thank you.
Excellent video, articulately explained. Thank you.🙂
That's interesting seeing it in terms of nodes and conduits. It's like the roads that lead to towns and cities - start a new "business" (new roots, branches, leaves) at the crossroads where all the traffic meets and mingles (the node), whereas if you open a stall on the side of a busy road then your business will have a much harder time getting started and may just rot away.
Thank you
Very helpful and interesting. Thank you
wow! you got so beautiful and healthy basilic there the leaves are really big...I just bought a basilic plants and let it grow again after finishing the leaves for my pesto...now I dont need to throw those basilic pots from the grocery....thanks a lot for the knowledge.
nylah Gutzman basilick is a Mythological creature
no that's a basilisk not a basilic.
excellent video thanks for sharing all that knowledge.
Oh my god , thank you for this video ,I have looked all over the internet for a detailed video for cuttings of a polka dot plant and finally I've found one, thank you sooo much
Thanks alot, this was very Insightful and full of Scientific content. Great Job 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you found it insightful.
Thank you for such an informative video. Really appreciate you making this.
My dogs taken up gardening and almost daily uproots and brings me the same azalea 🌺 bush. I will save my mums flowers! 😅
I don’t know how I ended up on this video but it is very informativeee🤣😂💯👍
Thank you so much! Ive been taking cuttings forEVer but now I have some understanding of why to cut where. You said to change water every few days, but all i usually do is top it off. Can you say more about the why of this?❤️❤️
This was a terrific video: the explanation is so informative. Thank you very much.
This. Is. FASCINATING! Great presentation. Subbed.
Thanks and welcome
Excellent video! Really well explained and clear. Thanks for this.
Thx that’s helpful
thanks
So we don't need to use growth hormone! This is fantastic! Brilliantly explained.
Excellent explanation and demonstration!
Very interesting since I’m growing mints and basil
Very helpful 👌
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Excellent explanation of the cutting site selection
Many thanks for this super video and crystal clear explanations. Super..
Very informative thank you!
Very informative cheers
What water you use and how often you change it? I use water from my koi pond and change it once a week or so. I try to avoid tap water. Sometimes I put some tap water in a bottle and leave it open for a few days. Any comments about that?
very informative, thank you! :)
the internode is the length of stem between two nodes.
very helpful nonetheless, didnt know that about nodes and rooting or that auxin travels down. makes sense though.
This is dope as hell
Great stuff mate
Thanks
I have 2 cuttings from a Basil plant, put them in water for a week or so but no roots has started yet.
Do you have advices to give me? Thanx
What's the best approach for a ficus Ginseng?? Thanks in advance 🙂
So informative, thank you
Quick question, would plants survive (using this cuttings-strategy) in relatively big temperature shifts? (ranging from 8° celsius to 23° celsius?) These shifts happen over a normal time period, so not within an hour from 8 to 20 for instance.
Very good video! Your explanations are excellent. Thanks again.
your talking and your hands are too smooth! what a fine botanist. a gardener's hands and talk are much rougher, this makes the difference. thanks you were most explanatory i subscribed to your channel!
Thanks for subscribing, I hope you enjoy my future videos.
thanks so verrrrrry much. where would I be without this... question: I have my eye on two summer climbers here down under in NZ...they have beautiful flowers, so is it the same process. Thanks, mate.
Wow!! Thanks very much bro.. I'll give it a try and give feedback
Gardening gang gang!
Excellent video!
Really super
Brilliant, thank you 😊
Thanks so much for the info. Really appreciate it. 🙂
Would a “ root stimulator powder “ help increase the development of more roots ?
Thank you very well explained top man
Trying to save a cucumber plant that has snapped, would it be better in water or soil please?
Can you put in a bigger pot right away or do I have to start in a smaller pot than switch out to a larger pot as it grows? Total newbie here.
Any recommendations on the best plant books for learning more about this and other techniques?
Your best looking for a book dedicated to 'plant propagation' there are several out there and it doesn't really matter how old the books are as the techniques haven't really changed over the decades. The only difference would be books over 30 years old, and even then its just the rooting hormones and fungicide which has changed.
Trees in front of my house are going to be cut for developmental purpose. Can I insert its branches in soil? Will it grow?
Trees are huge and it includes:
Mango, peepal,neem, drumstick.
How much light exposure can the cutting take before rooting?
They can handle lots of bright light, but not any direct sunshine.
Really good video!! Thanks!
Are you fucking shitting me!? THAT'S A BASIL TREE! I watched the other video and started doing this with a plant I got at the supermarket and I missed this video. This project is going to be wild in a few months :D
Great video! If I am understanding correctly, the first step (which is to cut at the internode) is not necessary as long as you have another internode to clip to (which was your step 2). Am I understanding that right?
Yeah that's right, I cut it at the internode for the first cut so that there is less die back on the mother plant and also so it's re-sprouts better, it's not necessary for the cutting, but it's better for the mother plant.
