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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
Thank you for this video. Your explanation really helped me understand why and not just how to take a cutting. Will really help with my gardening journey!
Thanks, I'm glad you found my video helpful, I like to explain why as I personally find it easier to remember something if I understand it instead of just memorising it. Good luck with your garden journey :)
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.
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.
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
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
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 !
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!!!
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.
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.
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 🎖🎖🎖
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.
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?❤️❤️
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.
Thanks for posting this excellent video 👏🏻 very informative. I'm wondering with Hairy Hydrangea and Sneezeweed would you propagate cuttings in water or compost to encourage rooting? Thanks, Don
Thanks, if its still in leaf then water for the hairy hydrangea, if its over winter and its lost its leaves then in compost. Sneezeweed I would do in compost, although water should also work, you can also propagate through division in winter.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Hi, thanks for posting this! I'm not sure what plant I have, but hopefully you can help me. 3 leaves on one stem broke off, I placed the stem in a vase & it grew some roots. That was a year ago, It didn't die, but it hasn't grown either. Is there something else I can do to help it grow?
You will need to plant it in soil, unless you have a hydroponic system, plant roots in plain water won't absorb enough water or oxygen and the plant will grow extremely slowly or die. I would transfer it to soil, being very careful not to break the roots and as it adapts to the soil keep it away from direct sunshine for a few weeks. You could try adding a weak solution of plant feed to the water, but without a proper hydroponic system this will probably become green with algae, run out of oxygen and kill the roots.
Thank you so much! Great explanation..can’t wait to try and have a beautiful Basil plant like yours! Does it require any sun? What about the h2o? Should be changed during the 2-3weeks while in the glass? Thank you!!!
It needs bright light, but no direct sunlight until its root have formed. So a north facing window is perfect. Once it has formed roots it can handle direct sunshine, but only in the morning and evening, midday sun is too bright unless its the middle of winter. I would change the water about once a week, or whenever it starts to go cloudy or green.
Yes, there is a fantastic book called, 'Royal horticultural society propagating plants' It goes into great detail about lots of different plant propagation techniques and it also tells you which technique is best for each type of plant.
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.
Yes probably, although you might find that you will also get roots growing higher up on the plant, when in water the roots only grow in the submerged sections of stem.
If the cutting has leaves then as soon as possible as they will dry out very fast, ideally within 5 minutes. Always have water ready nearby, if this isn't possible then you can store them in a plastic bag or container which has a little water in it to keep the humidity high, but they will still need water within 24hours. If you are taking winter cuttings without leaves then if the temperatures are below 10C (50F) Ideally around 5C (41F) they can last for a few days without water.
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.
I live in a subtropical climate, should I put my water cuttings on the window sill so they get sunlight right of the bat or do they prefer to chill in a dark room until the roots come out?
Being somewhere subtropical I would recommend putting them somewhere with bright light but no direct sunshine as the sun where you live will be too intense for the cuttings.
Dill is a pretty thirsty plant, make sure that the compost never dries out, but be careful not to let the compost become too wet as this can also be a problem. Also don't expect it to do well over winter as there isn't enough light for it to grow well unless you live somewhere with sunny winters.
Hi, thank you very much for your video. It is most helpful. DO you know if the plant periscaria is water or soil rooting regarding taking cuttings? Also can I do this at this time of the year? Thank you.
Thanks, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Its normally easy enough just to divide the plant up as it slowly spreads along the surface. Just have a look the the edge of a clump and dig out some shoots which have roots attached. You could also try the soil method as this is probably best compared with the water method. Although its now becoming a little late in the year for cuttings, but a good time of year to divide a plant.
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.

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?

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!

Trees are huge and it includes:

Will a fogger work faster and also be more forgiving if mistakes are made?
Yes probably, although you might find that you will also get roots growing higher up on the plant, when in water the roots only grow in the submerged sections of stem.
Hello great video, can i follow the same process with geraniums and plant straight into soil?
Would a “ root stimulator powder “ help increase the development of more roots ?
What potting soil so you use when starting off the root this way?
How soon after cutting was taken does it need to be popped into water? Sometimes there might not be water available
If the cutting has leaves then as soon as possible as they will dry out very fast, ideally within 5 minutes. Always have water ready nearby, if this isn't possible then you can store them in a plastic bag or container which has a little water in it to keep the humidity high, but they will still need water within 24hours.

Sage and lavender are plants that can rot easily if too wet and so they root better in soil than water.

Auick question, if you grow herbs,
Whats a good way to keep dill to droop less?
Dill is a pretty thirsty plant, make sure that the compost never dries out, but be careful not to let the compost become too wet as this can also be a problem. Also don't expect it to do well over winter as there isn't enough light for it to grow well unless you live somewhere with sunny winters.
This is dope as hell
Will they also develop roots if you put the cutting in soil?
It's possible in very humid conditions, but they will usually dry out and die before the roots form.

Does the water technique work for rose plant cuttings?
Yes, I have even done this before with cut flowers bought from a florist.
