A Faster Way to Propagate Cuttings
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- In this video I test the ancient wisdom which says to cut your plant stems on 45 degree angles when trying to propagate and clone plants. Apparently this increased surface area of exposed stem will help the plant absorb more water and maximize rooting success rates. I want to see if this is really the best way to do it, or if we can find other techniques to grow roots faster while propagating plants.
You can find my Propagation Races playlist below, where I have been testing a variety of propagation methods, rooting hormones, and more to find the quickest and easiest way to grow new roots and clone our plants.

Keep doing comparison vids they Are the hero we Gardner's need
Thanks Ricco! Glad you’re enjoying the content! 🙏
Id advice having more plants in such a test 😊
Thank you for your service! 😊
Good to know👍 I think I know where the 45' cut myth comes from: my grandfather was a farmer and he used the 45 ' cut on vertical branches to prevent water stagnation that would rot the branch.
I always cutted everything at 45😂
I learned something new thanks 🌱
I believe the 45 deg angle is best for trees as some of the stumps continue to flow out their sap for several days before drying up. So, to avoid stump rot, it's best to cut at an angle.
Very cool! Thanks for the info guys!
It could be for grafting instead of cutting but since so much of the farming knowledge was lost after ww1&2 we kind of just copied the easiest to remember. Like how many of us actually know how to change carrots from purple to Orange.
One of the best gardening videos that I have seen recently! Truly a valid pursuit of what is best and helpful to everyone. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words Matt! Glad you’re enjoying the content and getting value out of it!
It is the best gardening videos I've watched
' 0popo0p
👏👏👏Thank you Jimmy , I've been saying it all along don't believe half of what you hear on Social Media especially about your hair, skin or plants.
this is an important video. often a way of thought becomes truth and is never questioned. this may be a game changer.
Thanks Steve! We shall see! The more people that see this and try it, the better we’ll know how reliable the results are
When branches break, they split naturally. It makes sense the plant knows how to regrow from that form
Smart! Good point
The best gardening channel ever i have seen
Thank you you're too kind 😂🙏🤙
Thanks for the hard work
I appreciate these videos, thank you
This video and channel is so underrated. Needs more views 🎉
Thank you!! This is great! I’m going to try the split!
Thanks for valuable info. Helps a lot. 😊
This was very useful bro. Many thanks
Very kooL test man, nice job 👍 Thanks for sharing this. ✌ Happy Growin ✌
Great job!
great information thank you
thanks for the research
Inspires me to investigate different techniques with fruiting shrubs and vines.
Dying to see the light video. These are amazing videos. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the kind words Michael! More propagation races are on the way- keep it locked on the channel! 🙏🙏
So crazy!! Thanks for the video
🙏🙏
Very unique & important information you've given us. It must be quite helpful for getting maximum propagation results.
Well done
So glad I found your videos, love them thanks.
Thanks for the kind words Joe-Anne! Thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the content 😁🙏
love this thank you for testing it out!
My pleasure! More to come with other species of plants!
Fantastic experiment
🙏🙏🤙
This is the MOST USEFUL video on the subject.
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🙏
Thank you for the scientific approach, I've been doing 45 with rooting hormone cuz that's how I was taught but I always wondered if there was a better way. Now I know there is! 90° +split. Now I wanna try those with honey, cinnamon and a blend of both!
Happy to hear it, best of luck!
I was thinking the same thing. Did your experiment validate whether cinnamon +90 or cinnamon+split is better?
I still can’t believe how good you are at this
Thanks for the kind words!
Very practical and scientific. Thanks
🙏🤙
Thank you for doing this test, very informative and interesting at the same time. Any grower can take something from this video, cheers.
Keep up the great work !
Thanks brotha! Glad you’re enjoying the content! 🤙
Super interesting to compare not only the angle but various splits and scores!! I just found your channel looking for cannabonsai technique. I love the way you present videos and compile information! New sub :3
Greatly appreciate it Meta!
Great fcuking work, bin looking for this.
This guy really goes above & beyond, thankyou 🙏🏽 very grateful
🙏🙏
That was awesome, so useful!
Thanks Raglan! 🙏
Thanks bro learnt something new today..🙏
I loooove these kinds of videos.
Super appreciate it!
This video made me subscribe!
Awesome video mate thank you 👍🏽
Thank YOU! 🙏😁
Cool information
😊🙏🙏
I love your comparisons. I don't know why anyone else makes videos on these subjects: yours are amazingly helpful and clear. I'd like to see the same test but with cannabis which may be slower and/or more difficult to get to root than tomatoes. Thanks for the time and effort to make and post thse videos.
Thanks for the kind words!! Greatly appreciated. Ive tested split v 45 on a few other plants to try and broaden the learnings. Would love to explore this further with cannabis, hopefully will at some point!
ruclips.net/video/CivPYxUX7MA/видео.html
hola from COSTA RICA....... I TRULY ENJOY HOW YOU DO YOUR VIDEOS. STRAIGHT TO LEARNING
pura vida my friend!
@@JimmyBHarvests that means that yu been here.. lol pura vida MAE
Will definitely try the spitting method. Wish me luck
Gotta love the scientific method 💚
We do our best! 🙏🙏
Good Sir, I like your scientific method approach. Of course, I've been cutting at a 45° angle. Now, I know better.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
I do the 45° cut but now I'm gotta try the 90° split. Thanks Jimmy
That’s awesome! Hope it works well for you!
Thanks pal
Thank YOU! 😁🙏
nice experiment bro ❤️
Thanks bro! Appreciate it!
Good video idea…would like to see this on a plant that doesn’t have the ability to root on all the surface of the stalk like to a tomato plants does. Maybe something like a coleus or hydrangea where they root from a node.
Watching this while working on cuttings to clone. Thank you for this video! I wanted to do the same comparisons & you saved me the time of doing so. Definitely worth the like and subscribe.
I had been doing the super angle with occasional scoring or splitting. Now I will mainly use 90 degrees & split.
Have you done a race with and without trimmed leaves? I nip the tips of the leaves left on the cuttings. My logic is this aids in focusing the plant resources into roots by causing a bit of foliage stress.
I’ve done some cannabis races with different amounts of leaves. Didn’t try cutting into the leaves though. I’ve also raced a handful of DIY rooting agents. Some of them had good results - honey and cinnamon. Propagation races playlist should be the first thing listed on my channel if you want to check it out. Best of luck with your clones!!
Thank you Jimmy B :) I am so going to try this technique with some of my plants here. But I am also mindful that I live in an equatorial climate with plenty of humidity; so, have to be picky with what kind of plants I choose to propagate like this. I love the Rose Begonia & wonder if they would work as well?
Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with your own plants! Let me know how things turn out
ever done this test on herb? great video
This video shows other plants I've attempted it with. Think there's an herb or two in there:
ruclips.net/video/CivPYxUX7MA/видео.html
The only issue with the split technique is not damaging the stem when inserting into the cube or rooter plugs. What i found that worked is having 2 trays stacked but with a 1inch gap between the 2. Add 2-3 cups of water to the floor, place the first tray, then the 2nd with the cuttings. Do not try and harden until you have full roots which then you put into a separate dome to allow harding to occur.
Do a split cut with honey in whatever lighting you find is beneficial next!
There was one technique you missed that I wish you could have covered. And that's scraping the outer cell wall - rather than just scoring it. I've been doing this for the better part of 4 years now and have found it to be the most successful. Paired with either a 45 degree cut or 90 degree, I've found it works with about 85-90% efficacy.
I hear good things about that method. Thanks for sharing
@@JimmyBHarvests Glad to, and great video btw! Forgot to mention that.
can you make a video for black pepper please ?
I’d like to see this done with houseplant cuttings.
Hi thanks for awesome video I found with tomatoes plants it dose not matter how you cut them they form little bubbles on the stem 'ready for roots to come out if left growing on the ground roots will come out everywhere dis is what I know but I will keep in mine 90 degree slit thank for the experience
Thanks Michael. Agreed- tomatoes propagate well. I've tested this on other plants too and the split beat out the 45 degree across my entire sample
Wow
Tomatoes are probably the easiest plant to propagate because the stems are covered in hairs that when under water for a couple weeks will all make roots. I'd like to see the test done on a plant that relies on the cut point or the nodes. Also putting tiny cuts into the stems can help propagate clones. Of course there is rooting hormone you can buy also.
Lovin all this analysis, Ian. Yeah, I wonder if it works as well in warmer climes like mine too. But curiosity takes the cake, so will try it out with my flowering begonia & Citronella :)
By the way, did you say Cannabis? Cops haven't come around to your house yet?😁😂😅
Races with other plants are on the way! I don’t think tomatoes’ ability to propagate quickly invalidates the findings though. But I also agree larger samples are needed. More to come!
@@naleenidas8444 It's legal to grow 4 plants where I live.
@@Tastytaters Wow! That's news to me :)
Are you using rooting hormones are is that straight water?
Oh this is interesting, I have always wondered and tried a few of these myself. I just wonder tho if over time the split technique could make the plant more susceptible to infection, maybe not if your keeping it in a hydroponics setting but I’m thinking for those of us who try to root a variety of cuttings and then plant in soil 🤔
Great question, haven't tested with soil propagation yet
The 4-splits are interesting. How about a much, much shallower cut? And even drill a small hole into the bottom of the stem to increase surface area that way? Is what you just did hydroponic rooting?
For rose flower it the result will be the same or not
hello from america
🙋🏻♂️😊
Please do rain water vs tap water!!
It’s on the list to do that one! Super interested to see what works better
Hi there, have you or can you test the theory of shaving (couple shaves) the lower end (about an inch or so) of the cuttings to see if its better than the split method? I was told it's the best method for rooting. Much appreciated
I’ve seen some info about that method but haven’t tested it too much yet. Definitely need to in the future- stay tuned.
Have you got any pics of when they are very long say after 4 weeks or more.
Id like to see how the stem turns out on the split ends and how the roots look.
I don’t propagate them that long. I move into a reservoir with nutrients or soil when roots are an inch or two long. I’ve seen no impact later in the plants life as a result of the split
👏
tomatoes are a bit different bc they root just from the stems tho right. as opposed to other houseplants that don't do the same...
My guess was that a 45 through a NODE would expose the widest range of cell types to stress. Those in the best position or should I say condition to make roots would be stimulated to do so. FYI In my opinion if I can get ANY root formation I am 99% assured of success. But I have never done an experiment such as this one... did I miss it or did he give any attention to nodes?
wish we were best friend honestly lol. I love gardening
Lol thanks for the kind words bro!
Do you think different types of plants would handle the split technique as well as the tomatoes? I've got Devil's Backbone I'm trying to root...
I just recently published a video showing a split vs 45 experiment with a variety of plants. I tried peppers, basil and sage in addition to the tomatoes. Sorry I can’t link it but you can find it on my channel in the propagation races playlist! Jury is still out on what’s ultimately better but I like the results I’ve seen with the split
Did you use any growth hormone in water...Have you tried other plants: cilantro, rosemary? thanks
No hormone used for this. I tested more plants here:
ruclips.net/video/CivPYxUX7MA/видео.html
Should you do the split technique on a pathos plant?
Havent tried it on pathos specifically, would love to hear your results if you do try it! I have a follow up to this where i tested a wider variety of plants and the results were mostly positive. Good luck!
now thats a good tutorial, now i can watch na-ROOT-o
😂😂😂 love it! Thanks for the kind words as well! 🙏
I would assume that the greater the angle, the more water it could suck up, the less it would need to put out roots to drink. I always thought 45 degrees was only for cut flowers in arrangements to extend their life.
Definitely assumed that myself too!
Did the cutting go into clean water?
Also will this work on cannabis coz thats abit difficult to clone.
Tomatoes are very hairy so that should propagate very easily
Cutting went into tap water. Testing in cannabis now, will post a video for cannabis specifically in the future
I want to know if this applies to hardwood like blueberry, figs, roses
I've tried other plants here
ruclips.net/video/CivPYxUX7MA/видео.html
But havent tried any hardwoods
What nutrients or chemical did you use in propagating?
This was all done with unaltered tap water. No nutrients / chemical additives.
Ive tested a bunch of different things you can add to help propagation on my channel if you're interested in that!
Cutting super angles might be my issue 😝
Hey is a clear like gel normal for rooting clones in water ?
A clear gel?
What is the rooting medium?
These were all in unaltered tap water.
Would this be for cannabis too? Please help I'm trying to root my clones
Testing on cannabis now. I’ve got a video on my channel racing different cannabis clone methods- check it out!
Interesting experiment. Only thing is tomatoes easily grow roots from the fine hair on the stem no matter the cut. Try these techniques again on harder wood plants like roses, citrus, or jasmine.
I did this again with sage, peppers and basil. Video is up on my channel!
No doubt about tomatoes being easier. I’ve tried on multiple occasions to clone pepper plants from experimenting with cloning for the past year but so far I’ve only had luck cloning a few pepper plants.
It is possible be the same response on cannabis cuts or could be different ?
He picked the wrong plant to test. Tomato stems (and other plants like cucumbers) are covered in hairs so when they naturally fall over the hairs can put out more roots. I cut my cannabis clones on a 45 then put tiny slices in the stem. Make sure your cutting has at least 2 nodes and trim any fan leaves so the energy of the plant will go into rooting.
I’ll be doing races with cannabis again in the very near future! I do have one propagation race with cannabis out now, it’s available on my channel. 😁
JimmyB Harvests yeas already see it. And test by myself and its great. I’ll stay alert for the future racings. Cheers from argentina.
bro why you dont try these methods with cannabis? i love your work
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely hope to run this experiment in the future with cannabis
Can you please tell me..why my tomato branches are bending/curling downwards? Iam growing it in coco coir
They’re overheating. Likely too hot or too close to light source. Maybe not enough air flow.
@@JimmyBHarvests okay..thanks:)
🔥👍🤙💪🌱🌳✌️
🙏🙏🙏😁
What do you mean by scored?
For the scored trials I made small cuts into the stem for the bottom inch or so. The idea being maybe these cuts would let water in and that would help. The cuts are hard to see in the set up videos but they open up a bit in the results.
@@JimmyBHarvests oh ok. I was curious since I’ve never heard that term
Where is the video with the optimal ligth for cuttings?
It’s on my channel in the future 😄😄
@@JimmyBHarvests looking forward to it. Please use a lux meter or at least a lux app for the test.
Greetings
Buddy ! I don't doubtful on your opinion & results but I just wants to know the results of the ways I m saying. So why you always research or Test on soft stem cutting or Tometo cutting. Why don't you use hard or semi hard cuttings of different indoor outdoor plants & Vein..?? & Why don't you use different soil media or growing media..??
ruclips.net/video/CivPYxUX7MA/видео.htmlsi=1qtjSNjsl7VFJDIK
I tried more plants in this one!
i dont cut 45 i just clean the stem all the way long and insert in the soil so the cleaned stem become full of roots
Very cool
@@JimmyBHarvests but you my friend are doing excellent job and i have seen most of your videos,which are realy very educative stay strong with covid take care
I think this specific comparison study is one that cannot be done accurately on tomato cuttings. Tomato plants, unlike most other plants, has the ability to grow roots directly through the epidermis of the stem rather than preferring on growing them at points where the ground tissues or inner part of the stem has least resistance by stem walls, like through a scar in the stem. Therefore, the surface area theory and some other methods here sort of become pointless. While the results in this video may hold true, this experience remains fallible due to being done on tomato cuttings. Thanks anyway.
Fair points Ahmed! Give this follow-up video a try, would love to hear what you think! ruclips.net/video/CivPYxUX7MA/видео.html
