I love the tutorial, very cool technique! After flaming your knife, you may find, dipping it in thickened alcohol or hand sanitizer is a better way to keep it sterile.
Strong alcohol is a good sanitizer, and we use it in the field for sanitizing gloves and hands. In the propagation greenhouse we process hundreds of plants a day and the alcohol jar gets dirty very quickly. Burning the blades after each batch is the easiest and most cost efficient way we found to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
Absolutely great video. First time I have seen someone explain how to force growth like that on these.
Another great garden video always love seeing what you have to share and thanks so much for so many great gardening tips today

Good stuff, I have a serious propagation fetish and this is great 😜
