#BoxwoodCuttings #BoxwoodPropagation
Now I understand why they are expensive.. they are really slow to grow. Thx
They don't need a lot of protection. I took some boxwood cuttings last summer and overwintered them in the ground with no protection except the snow pack right here in Eastern Ontario. Zero mortality rate.
Dang, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
That is great to know since I am in the Ottawa / Gatineau region.
Did you use rooting hormone?
Hello im Rich. Also poor haha
Anything for free nowadays
Is a blessing. I will keep up with you! More free stuff!!!
Hi Rich!! 😆 I completely get it 😁
I love boxwoods and have watched many videos of how to propagate boxwood and this video by far is the best I have seen. Congratulations and thank you for passing along your knowledge to the masses. I will definitely give it a try.
Thank you 😊
Inspired me to take cuttings from my work 😈
You’re amazing and must have a lucky husband.. I should’ve done this two years ago!
Great video! Last year I made the mistake of using regular potting mix for boxwood cuttings and only six out of 30 survived. I'm ready to try again using a sterile mix. Thank you for the great information.
So it looks like a one year process from cutting? I wasn’t sure if I would have the patience to try it.
bout to go to the park and get me some cuttings
Well I thought I was alone thinking such 😂
Can you tell me when, the zone, and the weather temperature to do the propagation?
Back to save. The 4 inch trick 💣
You have a strong southern draw! Then.. the north chimes in , off & on. Unique
😅🤣😅🤣 yes, it's a very unique accent.. can only find it in the south western part of NY (south of Buffalo) in the country. I grew up in a town with more cows than ppl. My graduating class was only 40 students. Public school pre-k through 12th all in the same building.... country!!! Lots of Amish around there.
@@DeesYard
Wow Southern buffalo lol
I’m only giggling thinking Jim Kelly
I was so rooting 🤥.
Sorry Denver fan 🤫.
Good evening 🧛♂️
😆😅🤣😂
Anyone who has lived in states known for Southern drawls would not say this gardener has a
"strong" Southern drawl. Trust me. A Texan by way of Oklahoma. Loved the video.
This is awesome! Boxwoods are soooo expensive. Great option!
I bought 5 gal one at a nursery for half the price at Home Depot
I have 'take boxwood cuttings' on my to do list for this week but no plan on how to go about it, so you just saved me a lot of legwork!! Thanks very much😊
Thank you Maria!! 😊
Thank you! Very detailed and I must admit a soothing voice.
Thank you
This is so cool, I love this project so much! Thanks so much for the ideas - I really like the idea of creating a large multi-plant boxwood form in my garden and this is an excellent way to do it! :)
Really inspiring 💪. I am fond of making my own plants from mother plant …..☘️
Great video Dee
Very well explained and demonstrated.
Love the clear trays to see the roots. .
Your boxwoods are doing amazing
Thank you Chris 😊
@@DeesYard
Yeah what she said
You are absolutely right - this is exactly how you propagate. Well done.
Thank you 😊
Great video.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Really appreciated 🙏🏼
Good morning Dee. Those boxwoods look lovely - especially since they're grown from cuttings.
Thank you Richard 😊
@@DeesYard You're quite welcome. Have a wonderful Sunday. 😊😊
Another great video. About to binge watch your channel 🤓
😁
Thank you for this priceless video!!
You're welcome
The property I am rehabbing has some very old shrubs not sure their name but overtook all the sidewalks and the dirt as well but someone trimmed the sides and its all hard wood that stabs you. So I had a bag of trimmings from my own boxwoods. And was like I wonder if these propagate I didn’t trim the tops like you shared but I did strip a bunch with softer stems and was able to get 30 to grow without any special setup just stuck em in a compost potting mix in egg cartons I used skewers and wrapped in saran wrap with a taped on lid so I can spray as needed. Yes I did it on an idea but have some nice boxwoods to replace these huge nasty aged bushes. Once the owner comes to visit I hope she will be impressed. I learned alot from this vid. Especially about the spacing at planting time. And I was glad I took free clippings and recycled them to solve another yard problem. But I'll be more successful applying your method. I could have had 120 versus 30.
Wow, awesome video ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thanks Dee - great video.
Very good job....
Great video! Thank you!
Great Job🤗
Thank you
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you!
Trying it now.
Wow, you explain that so nice and eloquently. Thanks! 🪴
I can't wait to try this come mid July! Thanks for the helpful video 😊
You're welcome!! I'll have an update video on them soon too!
How timely! I just bought a boxwood from Walmart, only $5 as they were clearing them out. I'm going to try to propagate a few cuttings first with a DIY hydroponic 5-gallon bucket that I recently made but trying a few different methods concurrently won't hurt, so this helps.
Dang, $5!! You got a great deal!! 😁
@@DeesYard I had to stop at one, as I had already loaded up on $5 holly bushes the previous week. :) Hopefully your recommendations work with Holly bushes, as I would like to create a row of them on one length of the yard.
This is so good. Really nice method!
Haha who sketched the artwork
Two year old clips. I’ve been failing for two years at something…. I’ve got the clips
Maybe if I succeed. What not to do type vid🤷♂️. 😂😂
I learned a lot here with this one
You got bigger roots than me
😂🤣.
I’m waiting on the what not to do vid
Yes! You answered all the questions i had! You are awesome+
Thank you 😊
It worked! Ty very much! 😀
Yay!!!
thank you 🙂
Nice!👍🏻
I sure hope you’re getting some of this rain because I’ve got enough for both of us
The price of propagation is perfect
I'm getting some!! 🌧 🌦 yay!!!
@@DeesYard
Perfect days for good food and climate control. 😎🤝
Enjoy your holiday 👍
You do the same Jerry!! 🍻
Good morning Dee 🌄! Thank you for the gardening advice. Supwr well done 👏 ✔. I hope all is well in Your world 🌎. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
Good Morning Mark. Thank you 😊
@@DeesYard Always my pleasure Dee 😊♥❤
Thank you for a very well detailed video on how to plant boxwood cuttings. Wanted to know how months/years it took from propagation to the size of plant shown in the garden?
Gr8 video, what is name of plastoc green house u use to over winter ???
Hello, I was wondering if and when you began pruning your rooted cuttings?
Hello, I actually haven't yet. They are growing beautiful and full and haven't needed it yet. It's really a personal preference.
Well presented. Thank you so much
Thank you!
Great video thank you for it . Can anything be done to speed up the growth ?
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Question: What cultivar Buxus are you using for cutting and around your patio wall?
Winter Gem Boxwood (Buxus ‘Winter Gem’)
Love this video! I’m going to definitely try it. I just have three concerns/questions: 1) Why did you contaminate the whole rooting hormone container and not put it on another container. 2) How come you didn’t talk about nodes? 3) Is it important to take more leaves off and leave the last two or last set on the top to make sure the plant focuses its energy more on root growth rather than creating leaves? Or no? Thanks for your time! I’ve learned from other videos, so I might be wrong. Hopefully you inform me! 😊
Thank you!! I'm just a hobbyist/backyard gardener, but here are my honest answers: 1) I live on the edge. 😆 you're 100% correct it's best to use a separate container.
2) Good question, I don't remember why? I do think that's an important talking point, but not so much with boxwood since there are a ton. More important with plants with fewer nodes.
3) I don't know the science behind it, but I've been taught to leave at least 1 leaf prior to sticking any cutting. Every plant has a different structure. For example, I know I can get away with a bunch of small leaf nodes like boxwood but when sticking a panicle hydrangea, the leaf structure is too far apart and too big, I have to reduce the foilage. (This is mainly needed for space when sticking a bunch of cuttings) Hopefully, this makes sense.
@@DeesYard Thank you! I’ve just made propagations of 5 boxwood cuttings, including all different parts! Your advice helps me very much! Thank you for your channel, energy, spirit, and talent!
Thank you!! 😊
Great video thank you x
Hey! great videos! are you also on audea?
Amazing Channel my dear new friend 👋🌹
Thanks and welcome!!
Great video...good tips...thanks!
Thank you Tim 😊 Hope all is well!
@@DeesYard All is well Dee...try to stay cool in this current heatwave...keep you and yours hydrated.
Hello Dee. What planting zone are you in? I am in 6B and really want to try your method. If I take cuttings now, and then pot them up in the fall as you did, would putting them in my unheated garage under grow lights in the winter be ok do to? They would get some natural light from skylights also - and the garage typically doesn’t get below 40 in the winter. Or do you think they need to stay outdoors? I live in the mountains of NC and we get snow, sometimes ice, and temps can dip to single digits sometimes. Thanks so much.
Hi, I'm in East TN zone 7a. I would leave them outside and then when your temperatures drop below freezing, I would move them to the garage for protection and then bring them back out once it warms back up.
@@DeesYard thank you so much. Off I go!
How much soil conditioner to how much osmocote when potting up?
it took two years? UGH! I thought about propagating my plants due to cost as well.
Yeah, it takes a little bit of time, but I'm so proud of them every time I see them.
Hi
I have just moved two of my boxwood shrubs and they are not looking too Happy. I live in East Midlands of UK. Has anyone else relocated boxwood successfully? Thanks in anticipation of any advice.
How it became very thick from one plant.?
If the box is very humid, should I open the vents?? Or it ok for the box to be very humid?
A little humidity is good, but I open the vent to allow some air movement.
i love propagating plants but these seem like a alot of work
Which state are you in? I'm in Pennsylvania. Would your technique work there?
I'm in Tennessee but yes, absolutely!!
Thanks!
Dam girl, u can grow my boxwood
Any substitute for growth hormones ? I don,t have any 🤔
You can do without and will still have success.
@@DeesYard Thanks for your reply . I just subscribed to your channel . 😊💐
Hi what is the name of the product that you are calling osmocote?
Hello, it's called Osmocote. It's a Smart-Release Flower and Vegetable Granules All-purpose Food
Dont do this in thr UK. The box moth makes keepign buxus a chore.
Im about to dig out 15k worth of box because im done with the upkeep.
Lol cost and time perspective 2 years doesn’t make sense. A boxwood bigger than the size of the two year old plant at home depot is $10 x40= 400$ /24 months = $16.66.
That’s not bad even with a day job if you saved $0.50 each day in two years you’d have enough to buy bigger plants.
Makes sense for me, I like to create and watch my plants grow. Plus, I needed a bunch of boxwood, and I want healthy plants. Box stores do not take care of their plants. To each their own though, right?
Would you marry me beautiful woman?🥰
Propagation propagation propagation 💯🏆
I’ve had some luck with drip line propagation got a wait for the video(could take…⏱)
😂😂🤣
Mid July 📝 got it.
Great video my kind of jam 💯
Thank you Jerry!!! So far, this video isn't doing as good as I thought it would 🤷♀️.. Can't wait to see your video.. never tried that before!!
@@DeesYard
Haha I know what you mean
My phlox video is my best and it only took five minutes to make one continuous clip. The ones I really Try on like suck…. Well. Par.
Through video together and it works out… go figure ….
Take it safe hell take it however you can!!! See ya 👋
@@jerryodell1192 Hahaha you are so right, that's how it goes!!! Take care Jerry!!!
@@DeesYard
Something else I have noticed
On my channel. If I drop a vid, it takes two months for it to hit my sub count or more. If I drop a Vlog(which smartly you don’t do)
Still two months to hit my sub count but then it stalls vlogs and shout outs stall. Propagation videos I call a slow burn 🔥 should hit your sub count in two months. Also never stops growing like ever. Get into the slow burn Dee. Like views from heaven 🤣🤣. You do stay niched up pretty good so you might not see the same thing I do. I’ll post anything. 😂😂.
Ok I’m done yammering away now
That's super interesting 🤔 alright let's see in 2 months 😁
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks, great video!!
Thank you 😊
Great video, thanks so much!
Thank you Laura 😊
