Propagating Petunia Cuttings in August and Overwintering Them (Part 2) Under the Grow Lights
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- So we got those petunia cuttings rooting and now it's time to bring them indoors under grow lights. The warmth of the house and the indoor lighting should make these little rooted cuttings explode with growth. I'm pretty happy with how it's working out so far and I think the potential is there to save a lot of money at the nurseries next spring.

Looks like you can leave those petunias as a houseplant and overwinter it that way. Even better than a leggy, dried out, dormant plant. Hope it stays flowering indoors
Still flowering!
OK. I'm amazed, Not gonna' lie. I never would have expected those Petunias to take off blooming like that. You are the man when it comes to plants.
"Mike,I really speechless.l have no words, for your innovation.
I watched this already and had to go without leaving comment. So back to do that. :-) Again, this is amazing. Hope my orange ones will do this. They are gorgeous. Yellow Begonia is so gorgeous too! Oh my - I am bad. I'll have flowers everywhere.
It’s addicting!
I just paid 7.98 for a 6 pack of wave petunias! Thank goodness I found your video. I won't be doing that again! I've always had a green thumb but I'd never heard of rooting petunias. Thank you for your videos!!!
Oh yeah, you can have hundreds of them in a short time!
You can even put it inside a bucket of water or jars in the kitchen and it will produce roots and flowers.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❣
Mike much much much loving gratitude for all the beautiful compliment and acknowledgement and accomplishment you continually bring !!!!!!!!9
Am Rosario Petuco. So amazing petunias. Very attractive. I need petunias seeds.
I gasped out loud when I saw that new growth!!! Awesome!!
Really amazing . Great way to cheat the box store prices in spring
That’s awesome! I need to try it next time I get some petunias!
I Love Petunia’s!!!
Thank you for this!!!
You're welcome!

Stumbled upon your channel because I was looking for a way to propagate my fig tree. LOVE IT! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Glad you found it and thanks for hanging out here with us on the channel!
Thank you for making this vid! Loved watching this! I am growing cuttings from my petunias (from summer) at the moment indoors on a seed mat near window. Thank you for being my guide! Please give an update on your other grow lights 😊
Thanks so much for the nice comment, Aimee! Good luck with your cuttings.
Can you make a video about growing ornamental Camellia or tea plant from cuttings? I found it very a tricky to propagate them from cuttings as the success rate is less than 50%. Thanks in advance! 🙏
I'll work on it.
Mike I am so glad you pinky is fine an a way lol,tell me can I grow petunia cuttings inside in the winter.
Yes, I grew these indoors all winter and then took them back out in the spring.
Awesome video crazy how fast they took off like that. Very cool
Love the channel name, Mark!
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks
This was great loved it! I have harvested seeds from my many petunias are there any secrets for planting the seeds in the spring? Love your informative vlogs. You are a wealth of information! Thank you for sharing!!
Seeds are tiny. Weeds can easily over take them, so make starts. Sprinkle them on some soil in a tray, wet them, and cover much the same way Mike covers cuttings. Enough to keep air humid, but also allow some airflow to prevent mold and over-heating. Keep in mind that your seeds probably won't come true, especially if you previously had mixed petunias. The flowers will still be beautiful. :)
Great video follow-up. Maybe next year you could choose something more challenging like geraniums.🐛
Lol, I've got a video about geraniums.
Hello Mike. I would love to see your setup in your overwintering grow tent.
Great Videos , Greetings From Turkey 😊
Thank so much, love your videos keep the coming I have learn so much,take care.
Thanks, will do! And you take care as well.
Hi Mike, may I ask what your fertilizer is for your petunia cuttings? My petunia cuttings indoors are not flowering. Thanks.
I recently made a video about it: ruclips.net/video/e5Nx93MBGUw/видео.html
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you! I need to catch up on your vids! 😀 ❤️
I love plants flowers
I'm still out at the garden shop and found Supertunia Honey and Limoncello for $1. Usually they are $4.98 a pop. I'm wanting to over winter them in our new shed but not sure if it'll work
It'll work if it doesn't freeze in there, but like your name says............LOL
@@MikeKincaid79 😂😂😂😂 you just gave me a new video idea HAHAAA ⚰
Great information, thanks never thought about taking cuttings 👍❤️😊
nice job love those flowers
Great pair of videos Mike. I took some inspiration from you and took cuttings of some petunias and begonias that were still thriving in planters near my work. That was November 1st. November second dawned with a temp of 23 deg F, so they are dead now except for the cuttings I took. Stuck them per your directions except I used 2 ltr coke bottles for covers (no yogurt containers at my house) Have them in with my lemon tree and other tenders I over winter. Don't know if it will be warm enough for them as it gets down to 45 in there at night. Do I need to put them on a heat mat? Do they need more light than my lemon tree? Thanks for all your videos and inspiration.
There's a range of light and temps they'll take. As long as they're indoors and have some form of lighting they should do fine. No bottom heat required indoors.
So can I do the same with my potted petunias? Can I just trim them up and put them under my grow light in the basement for the winter?
Absolutely!
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks Mike
What kind of grow light specifically for bringing full grown petunias in ?
@@JHartman2487 Honestly, I just buy the grow lights from the big box stores or my local hardware store. I cannot tell you the name though. I have several in my basement
@@JHartman2487 I clip all of them down, especially the blooms.
love this! and love your enthusiasm/expertise. do you have a video on your grow lights?? why did you say you cant get this on amazon? i would love to keep my plants thriving this winter- especially my petunias so would love to get your guidance on these custom grow lights you have. thanks!!
The grow lights can be found at most big box stores but not as an 8 bulb setup. You have to find a light supplier online for that.
Gonna start propogating my supertunias and tride and true soon. they will last october-april in a bright sunny room in a humidity dome for that long, will I have to transplant them during that period or can I let them get root bound til spring 🤔
Depends on how warm and bright the growing area is. If it's very warm and bright then they will want to grow like crazy and you'll definitely need to up-pot them at some point. You can let them get fairly rootbound without any problems though.
That is one beautiful bunch of petunias you have growing! Mike, I've started petunias (from trimming mine when the plants have gotten too leggy) just by sticking them right into the damp potting mix without using rooting hormone. They are super easy to start and grow like gangbusters! Where did you get the yellow fly traps? They really seem to attract the little soil gnats.
I picked them up at a local Walmart.
@@MikeKincaid79 Were they in the garden section?
I think they were in the hardware and paint section. I bought them last winter during the off season.
hey MIKE thats a smart way ta do it under the table, who woulda thought about that,, hows JOHNNY the rooster doing,? thank ya fer the video
It's a great spot for cuttings
hey bro i love your videos tnx alot keep up the good work! about the t8 bulb set up whats the w on the bulbs and does it have to be 8 bulbs?
They are 32 watts each and you can just use 2 or 4 bulbs if you want
Just to verify: If you just intend to indoor overwinter Petunias (Supertunia) for the sole purpose to keep them alive between October - April (zone 7B) , do you avoid using a grow light? If I just wanted to keep them alive, but without much blooming, skip the grow light?
You'll need some form of lighting to keep them going.
Do you keep your lights on all winter long or do you go by daylight cycles?
I cycle them on and off each day on a timer to match summer light hours.
Hey, an you give more info on the light you used inside?
Yes, it's a 4 foot long fluorescent bulb fixture. They are t8 bulbs and there are 4 of them running.
Hey Mike, that's super! Hugs🤗🤗
Hugs!

3 or 4 dollars a plant? With shipping I'm paying 7 dollars a plant. So I want to take cuttings immediately. Splash Dance Calypso Cherry! And other WOW varieties. Magenta Storm!
This was a few years ago. So yes, probably more expensive now.
Eres un gran loco mike muy bien lo que haces
Quem resiste a petúnias!? São maravilhosas e a suas estão belíssimas! 😘🇧🇷
Love you videos!! You opened my eyes to a whole new world of growing plants. Approximately how long until you can leave them uncovered?
Once they've rooted you can slowly acclimate them to less humidity over a couple day period. So glad you're having fun watching the videos!
I will try this summer
have fun
Thank you Mike! 🤗
Awesome! Thanks!
Didn't do so well with my petunia cuttings. They turned brown 😭I guess my lid wasn't sealed well enough. I left it ajar. Will have try again next year
You can enjoy mine in the meanwhile!
@@MikeKincaid79 lesson learned. Seal the lid haha!
How many hours a day do you have the lights on?
I thought you needed to have the lights about 2 inches above the plants throughout their growth so they don't get tall and lanky.
Petunias don't need much light and this setup works for multiple different plants for me.
I FLIPPIN KNEW IT!
Man I wish I could show you a picture of the petunias I propagated following your steps! They are beautiful! I am so in love with this flower that I went out and got a pot at the nursery that had 2 colors in the same pot. I had no idea I bought supertunia bubblegum and its buddy has a lilac center and white petals. They grow differently! I have an issue though. Since they have been together in the same pot for a while I am scared to separate them (plus they look nice) the lilac blooms are really taking off, but the bubblegum side is only giving me about 4 blooms😢.. there are beautiful green leaves but if feels frozen in time! I gave it some miracle grow 4 days ago. But I can humbly say I dont know what the hell Im doing! I even dead headed about 10 buds because I thought they were seed pods. This was a week and a half ago and still it doesnt take off! HELP!
Water, water, water. Pentunias drink a ton of water. I'd use a slow release fertilizer so you don't have to worry about fertilizer. Then just water often. You could always take some cuttings and move the new plants to a new container.
@@MikeKincaid79 will go get some fertilizer today and try it out! Thank you Mike!
I love this one bro👍🏽
Is it cheaper to do this with LED grow lights? Do you have recommendations on a type of LED grow light?
I like the ViparSpectra LED grow lights. Here's a link: amzn.to/3t5Z8LP

How to protect rose bushes in winter in Maryland. I have them in plastic pots. I don't have a sun room.
You can put them into a shed or garage after they go dormant.
What fertilizer do you use
Thanks💖and subscribed
It's been awhile for this video but I think I was using Miracle Gro and epsom salt for this plant.
@@MikeKincaid79 🙏💫
you've got miracle grow thumbs, mike. A very interesting video. i wanted to ask you something but forgot what it was. let me think. i got it. it's the eggs in the incubator. how did the beluit go with your Filipino friend? did you get to try one? i could never. i'd be too squeamish. stick with plants. ha ha. later man, carmine.
I actually tried to make it 2 different times and got it down pretty close to the amount of days she like them incubated and then I hurt my finger and it all went away. The young ducks I hatched are big now but a racoon broke into their pen one night and ate 3 of the 5. I have a male and female left and not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. And no, I still haven't tried the balut myself.
What kind of soil did you use to propagate the petunias and begonias? Thank you
fine fir bark for the begonias and promix for the petunias
W
How many hours a day do you leave the lights on?
16 hours
What's the temperature you recommended? I wonder my garage is too cold in winter for them
They may survive in a garage, just depends on how cold it gets. under 55 degrees and you won't see much, if any, growth but it will survive.
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you!
So if I keep it in the house, I may have flower all winter?
That's really nice! :)
Can I do this in the house? Then at what point do I get cuttings to put in trays to root... and at what temperature do the lidded trays need to be in. I’m a newbie at gardening, but have some beautiful Petunias outside, and I’d really love to try this!!
Can you show how to propagate begonias
ruclips.net/video/htm7p56X08Q/видео.html
Mike que soil usas para las petunias que clase de potting mix compras
Utilizo todos los tipos diferentes de tierra para macetas. Solo uso lo que sea más barato en el momento en que lo necesito.
I live to se amazing videos like this one
Hello brother i have a petunia plant with good condition but today it looks dull what is the reson can u tell me.
Prune it back, fertilize well with a good nitrogen fertilizer, keep watered for a couple weeks, and it should come back more beautiful than ever.
nice video, Those flowers are awesome!!!!
Yes they are!
Wow that's cool 👍😎
Great video... I like so much plants also greetings from Mexico #Mikekincaid.
Greetings!
How is your finger?
Not functioning well but I'm currently working on breaking up scar tissue.
How long do you keep the plant lights on? Wow!🌸
14 hours a day
Mike Kincaid can led lights be used? If so anything specific? Thanks
Hi Mike.will any kind of light work
Pretty much. I use shop lights with t8 bulbs.
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you
beautiful!
Hi, i'm a huge fan! :) I hope you do a video on propagating daisies. God bless! :)
Around here they propagate themselves, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 Wow, that must be nice! Just seeing them all around. I love daisies. 😍 So as all kinds of flowers. Haha so keep doing vids, its nice to see them all grow. Your vids and tips on it are very helpful too. I'm just a beginner, im trying to grow roses and daisies, but my daisies are not looking good. @@ Haha anyways, God bless!!
Where do you live? Do they not grow easily in your area? Where I'm at they grow wild all over the place. During certain times in the summer they almost take over areas of my yard. I'll have to get pictures for you next year!
@@MikeKincaid79 I'm from the Philippines. Well, they DO grow here, i know, but mine didnt. Haha I bought a potted gerbera daisy 3weeks ago, and then when the flower bloomed, I cut it and then next thing I know the leaves are dying. Hahahaha I just dont know what happened. I tried to resuscitate it, water it, but it just got worse. Maybe I dont have a green thumb. Haha In my defense, I just started planting flowers 3weeks ago. Haha
How long do you leave the lights on each day? Thank you for these great videos.
16 hours
Why not grow them from seeds every year? xD
Yep
Which fertilizer using after repoting ?
I mix up my own concoction.
Mike how u make u potting soil mix
It's just finely ground fir tree bark that is normally used as mulch. I have some videos about it if you search the channel.
Does this work with supertunias?
Yes!
I always fail to do that
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
@@MikeKincaid79 well, I will try and try again. But I 've succed make a seed of petunia. Thank you your advice
Potting mix???
I think I used generic potting soil for this project.
That is so cool. We are definitely planning to try this. God bless!
Have fun!
have you ever cross breed petunia
Nope
What kind of soil did you use for the petunias?
Same as the begonias, Promix with miccorhizea.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you!
5:56 that transformation is so sick.
It's crazy how fast they take off and bloom.
😲
This looks like about 40 hours of work to save $40.
Did I make it look that cumbersome? lol. It's really just a few minutes of time and managing them through the winter. If you do it right, you can save much more than $40. A single hanging basket costs $40.
How many hours do you keep the light on per day?
16 hours a day
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks
