Here's Part 1 of this series: @ We'll collect the seeds and get them germinated!
every year I collect those tiny petunia seeds at the end of the season and get good results the next season but now that you have taught me how to propogate,I'm feeling so excited about having tons of petunias in my back yard this year! 😃
And taking cuttings will create an identical clone so you can be assured of getting the same colors. Have fun!
I literally screamed, "EEEEEEEEEEK!!!" when you cut the flowers off. 🤣
Hahaha, I hear ya. It's gut wrenching. Are you OK now? All calmed down? LOL They came back even better!
@@MikeKincaid79 🤣 Yes, I'm calmer now. Thank you for asking. 😆
Wooooo me too girl!😩🤣🤣🤣
I grabbed my head hoping that he was joking. Then BINGO he cut them OFF! I made a comment to him saying that he knows that his girlfriend/wife knocked him in the head when she saw him cutting those petunia off the way he did. lol. I am going to have a BALL growing petunias.
Mike, I wanted to say thank you!! I used your video on rooting rose cuttings. I was able to root some roses from my Dads funeral for my Moms flower garden. I had no idea how to do it, but I did what you said and it worked! It may seem small to some, but it meant a great deal to my family. Thank You!!
That's so awesome to hear! Really glad that it worked out for you, especially in a tough time.
I just started getting into all this flowering and gardening. I have lots of knowledge from my Nana when I was younger we gardened together lots of summers. She died, and I found myself fighting drug addiction for the last 8 yrs. But I survived it, and I'm back. Hopefully, for good. And my gardens are looking amazing. Thanks to my Nana and people like you making these videos. ❤
Glad you’re back. Not hopefully for good, DEFINITELY for good. I know it’s tough but keep making that decision every day. Life’s too short to give into that monster. You’ve got this.
I am Granny George. Please stick to what Nana taught you. She taught you how life goes on after death by growing flowers. That's one of the reasons people give flower for a grieving family during the funeral preparations. My name is Georgette but my grandchildren call me Granny George. Let me share this with you too. I am 69 years old and just lost my mother a year ago at age 102 and she was home with the family, no nursing home. I had all kinds of flowers growing around her while caring for her. She said thank you for my flowers while I can enjoy them. Don't let something that will take you away too soon overshadow how Nana taught you how to keep love and life around you with flowers. Bless You and PLEASE love yourself like Nana loved you. Kick Dope in the AZZ!
This is totally off subject but I commented last year on your hydrangea video that mine always has just one large bloom. Well I added bone meal and epson salt and my hydrangea has over 75 blooms (I got bored and quit counting). It's glorious!! If not for your video I'd be once again admiring my "one" bloom lol. So thank you!! 😊
I totally remember you and even made a video about your question. So glad to hear that you fixed the problem and can enjoy all those blooms!
When is the perfect time to take cuttings from petunias? I live in zone 6b.
Your videos are very good and full of great and beneficial information.

I'm gonna try this!
Will definitely try out once. Thanks for the wonderful video Mike...
Nice! My 9yr old daughter loves this video.Petunias are her favourite flower.Shes inspired!
That's great! Get her started young and she'll be a gardener for life.
It is so cool watching them go from seeds to full beautiful bloom!
I know! Love this plant. I need to do more petunia videos.
I've done this for the first time this year! And now have tons of blooms! Tried to share but I guess people would rather buy their own. 🤦♀️ I learned how to collect the seeds last year and I'm proud to say I'm never have to buy another petunia! I stayed mine in 3 hanging baskets. I was told they love fertilizer. 💘
They sure do. They eat up fertilizer like there's no tomorrow. I use a slow release fertilizer that breaks down over 4 months so all I need to do is water.
Fun video - I"m trying petunias from the seed for the first time. Thanks for all the helpful hints!
Yeah, no problem, Beth. Good luck with your project!
Thank you for this! All your time documenting this is really appreciated
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Mike, that’s the only trouble with taking seeds they nearly always go back to their original colours. Always best to take cuttings. I was very lucky to get two cuttings to survive over the very cold winter. They flowered and I’ve just taken cuttings from them so all is good.
Take care buddy, be safe. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Glad to hear you were able to keep some going through the winter. I've got several plants like that in which I've 'white knuckled' it and worried that they wouldn't make it.
Dude I freaking love this video. And definitely can’t wait to put to work what I’ve learned.
Awesome, Danny! Have fun and enjoy summer.
Thank for responding so quickly 😊
Beautiful I will never have put all in one pot but learned something from this video thanks Mike
That's what it's all about.
I have my purple and my red petunias and I'm going to make more and more and save them over the winter inside, I love these plants. Thanks again for the info on how to do this. 😊😊🤗🤗
That's the way to do it, Glenda!
my seeds are uniform but I collected the seeds from mainly wave petunias. I just one different red petunia with curly leaves but ALL of my Wave petunias that I bought and collected seeds from are EXACTLY like the parent plants of red, white, and "blue" which is really a purple color. I do have a few pink ones as well. I will agree, they did take FOREVER to get to a decent seedling status where I could thin them out and put in different baskets, I mentioned before I started mine in hanging baskets also because the seeds are so small. Mine are taking off and now I'll have more seeds! I'm very excited! I'll never have to buy another, unless I see a different color that I want! I did buy a few light purple ones and pink ones this year. 💜💕😍💗💓💖💜
You are henceforth dubbed "The Petunia Queen" LOL
Cool! I saved some seeds from an unusual color so I'm planing to try this.
It'll work!
Great info Mike, thank you for making this video!
No problem Diane! Don't forget to check out part 1 to see how we germinated them.
@@MikeKincaid79 I did, that's awesome! Almost tried it with my Supertunias this year but was too late harvesting seeds.
LOVED this series! My daughter and I have been overjoyed emptying these tiniest of seeds! Thanks be to God for these amazing small/big things. Thanks so much for sharing this series!
You're very welcome! Glad to hear that plants are connecting you and your daughter.
Planted 1 pack of petunia seeds this year. Then saw your video and took lots of cuttings! They have roots and will be planted soon. Maybe next year I will buy a plant so I have more seedling room 😆
Haha, you can never have enough plants!
Looking good Mikey! I went dumpster diving at Aldi last week and got 25 hanging baskets! Lol, Half were perfect the others not so much. I think I’ll try your Petunia cuttings idea.
Nice find! Good luck with your cuttings. The petunias should root fast.
I like the variety of colors in that pot.
They sure are pretty. Kind of interesting to see what nature does with the colors all on it's own from seeds.
@@MikeKincaid79 I agree.
I just planted up some dollar tree seeds, only 25 cents per pack, so I figured it would be an inexpensive experiment. I have a small house and have them under fluorescent lights in the basement. Your video encouraged me. I hope I have success like you did.
Crossing my fingers for ya!
Nice on camera personality and great video to back that up
I appreciate that!
It's a different story here in the Tropical Areas BUT I WILL TRY THIS IDEA!!!! I love the result! :) Thank you
Good luck and have fun, Dave!
hi there! thank you so much for sharing very educational & informative videos. you are full of zest & great energy that people love to watch you & your videos. we see that you love what you do & that is very encouraging to us especially beginners. keep it up & stay awesome. 👩🏻❤️🌻🐾🐿🌸🐢🌺🐝🌼🦋🌹🦜
Thanks so much for the nice comment and have fun in the garden!
Hi Mike! They are still pretty! It's a good thing if you don't have any to get cuttings from. Hugs! 🤗💜🤗
Haha, yeah, I've got enough cuttings already.
For sure!🤗
I had been growing and collecting seeds since 2018 or so. In 20/21 I had about 8 different colours, in 22 half the seeds didnt come back as the original colours but produced 2 times more colours and different styles that I never had before. This year I separated the seeds into their own trays to see what colours do I get. But its interesting that combining seeds produces so many unique colours that I never seen online or in any stores. Yep it takes SO LONG, but for me personally I only do petunias so I kinda have to learn to love the process ;)
Sounds like you've found your passion. Pretty cool man. Keep following it and you may come up with some exotic new varieties.
Very informative... Thanks for sharing and great information... Stay connected
Amazing!
Thanks!
Hi Mike. TY for these 2 videos. Found your channel while looking for info on Petunia's.
We almost never have grown flowers from seed, just vegetables. Always bought flowers
for 4 hanging baskets. But last year a Petunia popped up next to a small channel drain
along our paver patio, and another and so on. A free parsley spread row of flowers!
It had to be from dead flowers fell on the patio and made their way to the drain when
it rained. OK, easy peasy free! Not this year. Eye opener on the price of seeds.
Anyway, we planted 36 seeds 2-15, all but 1 germinated. 36 more on 3-12, that started
germinating yesterday. Grown indoors almost mirror images yours, time wise.
Can't wait to start pruning, propagating and wintering over. Oh yeah, and free flowers
for life.
Do you fertilize once a week all year?
Thanks Again
My cousin mixed petunias in with my spider plant last year and it was so beautiful I did it with a second one this year. At least half of the petunias from last year grew back this year.
That sounds like a cool effect, combining the two.
@@MikeKincaid79 it really is, it fills in the top of the spider plant beautifully.
I learned a lots of things from your channel. In one video you mentioned how to use Epsom salt and rooting hormones . After that, I used epsom salts on a one-year-old pomegranate plant, which began blossoming after a few months.🌱 Thank you for providing such useful information.😊👍
You are so welcome, Pratik, and I'm glad you're having success with the lessons in these videos!
Love it
I see that the pacific NW is going through some pretty hot 🥵 temperatures, hope the plants and family are doing well.
We're finally out of the woods but it was pretty bad. I've never seen this in the 30 years I've lived here. Lost a few plants and some of my rhododendrons got scorched but most things will recover. I spent the week prior just frantically watering everything on my property. Thanks for asking, Fred.
Excellent ❤🎉
Thanks
Yes, that’s the brilliant idea since you have the green house: propagate is easy for you.
You don't need a greenhouse to propagate petunias. You can do this on your back porch or in your house.
The cut back after the first bloom always makes me nervous. But man do they come back bushier and with even more blooms. Love your channel!
Yes! And these plants bloom so much, love them. I'm going to have to do some more petunias this year. You guys are really making me want to get back into them. Glad you're here and thanks for watching!
good video mike
Thanks!
Wao so beautiful 👍🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh my God, why I didn't think about this... I keep spending my time separated those leggy seedling though and feel like crying doing that...
I need to try this new method
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the update. How are your plants surviving in the PNW heatwave? Things looking pretty sad here. Went out and watered last night at 12:30. My peanuts are doing well though. Est. 108-112 degrees tomorrow. Stay safe and cool.
It's pretty horrible. I've been watering non-stop the past few days. Daily in the hoop house and moving sprinklers around all the rhody beds. I need to water all the figs today. these temps are crazy and I'm looking forward to getting rid of it, lol
I ordered some from Amazon, the Vining purple
I love all kinds of petunias. They just keep producing all summer long.
Hello Mike, thank you so much for this, it was very fun and helpful to watch your journey with Petunias.
I have a question please, if I get to buy a pack of Black Petunia seeds, does that mean that there is a chance they might end up in a different color other than Black?
As long as the parent plants were both black or have the same genetics and were bred in a controlled environment, then you'll get black. The problem arises when pollen from a different color gets involved or the parent plants aren't stable.
Mike I've been growing a lot of plants flowers ,garden plants ,herbs , fruit plants and trees I even planted wild petunias and they're really beautiful kind of hot pink also wanted to ask u if I could somehow use the pine bark peat for fruit trees instead of using coco coir in my soil mixture
I don't see why you couldn't. Sounds like you've got a lot of fun growing projects going on there.
Mike ! You will not believe it! Just today morning I was watering my plants and I think you should a experiment about the blueberries . . Just pick one plant blueberry and cut all the leaves yes leave only the stems some have a very tiny leaves leave them too did not cut it, also do it in one plant of raspberry. Oh my! More fruits! Do not replace your blueberries! -BC
I may try pruning them back and see if they shoot up with more vigorous growth. Are the closed captions working?
Yes Mike all the last videos has CC . . only the video "Motivation with Mike. What Every Young Person Needs to Hear" I checked just now and now have subtitles too. I will watched. Thanks! -BC
Wow I have some seeds I think I'm gonna try this
I collected seeds from black petunias last year and they are coming in red this year from the seeds of the black petunia flowers. I also had collected seeds from lime jam petunia flowers which are now growing in white.
Yep, that's how seeds are. So much genetic variation and no one seed will look exactly like another.
There’s funny blueberrys 🫐 🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🌶🫐🫐🌶🫐🫐🫐🌶🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐Damm😅
Now you know that your girlfriend/wife knocked you in the head when she saw you cut those pretty flowers off. Lol Thank You so much for this video.
👍👍
Thank you! I like to use pertinias in pots scattered around my garden, but hooo! They've gotten so expensive.
They are soooooo expensive. And that’s why I love taking cuttings.
@@MikeKincaid79 $38 for a four 4" pots at Walmart! No or little better elsewhere.
😍❤❤❤👍
amazing how the petunias have changed. looks like more green growth than bigger and flashier flowers. so, hybridized petunias turn back to the specific family of genes in survival mode. huh. cp.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The basket I did last year was packed with flashy blooms. This one is packed with robust green growth. It is continuing to bloom more and more though.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I bought the seeds from Dollar Tree and started them on seeding trays. Put them under grow lights, did this mid February. However mine got too leggy. I do have lots of flowers, but i wish there’s a way for them to not get too leggy.
Just keep pruning them back when they get leggy and they're come back bushier and with more blooms each time.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks! I was just too scared they may not grow back. But I saw your video and i will try that!
Mike, where do you purchase the empty hanging baskets?!
I found these at a local nursery a few years back. Here are some nice ones on Amazon that are very similar but different color: amzn.to/3xZGGHs
Will these come back every year.how long will they last..
💛💛🐢💛💛
I bought petunias last year and this year I found a seedling in my yard lol should I leave it or dig it up and pot it???
Cool! If you want to see what the bloom looks like then dig it up and pot it!
Love your program,what can I do with my petunias they are prone to black fly ,
I just read that mint, spearmint, and peppermint are good deterrents to black fly. Maybe have a few mint plants around.
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you ,l learn something every day, I do have a mint plant, the cats don’t like it,
Hey mike I have a question about propagating mimosa trees can it be done with cutting or by seeds what's the best way to start them thank you sir
I have never heard of growing them from anything but seeds. Actually, they readily self seed in the South and can be invasive.
I'm not sure, I'll have to look into it.
how often do you water after planting seedlings? and how much water? My seedlings came up but have not grown at all since. And some are dark brown now.
I watered about once a week while they were small. In fact, I think I only misted them at first. Once they were large plants growing in the hoop house I was watering every other day during the summer. Petunias require a ton of water.
What are you using for mulch or what grinder are you using?
It’s finely ground fir tree bark mulch that I get at a local landscape supply business.
Mike, I've ordered some fancy petunias. Splash Dance Calypso Cherry, Crazytunia Magenta Storm, Calibrachoa Uno Pink Star. Are these going to produce seeds?
As far as I know, all petunias will produce seed, but the seed will produce variable results as far as bloom and growth habit.
Hi is there a specific varity for hangging?
Look for trailing petunias
Hi Mike! I am sure you get this question all the time: what zone are you in? I am in zone 8 and want to take that into consideration in case I need to make adjustments.
Zone 8b, near Olympia Washington.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks! We are in Renton so that is great to know.
Mike Kincaid sir I always grow ,red and purple Petunia by seeds, but why it's always bloom in white or light pink colour?
It's all due to the genetic variation of seeds. Same reason 2 sisters or brothers look different. The only way to get an identical clone of the parent plant is through asexual propagation (cuttings).
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you sir,,.
My petunias always end up so leggy how do I make them produce more flowers than stems?
Cut them all the way back like I did in this video. They will bush out even more with more blooms.
There were actually hundreds of seedlings in the beginning. Had you split the pot in the early stages you would have had enough to fill 10+ large baskets. 👍
More than likely.
Even for experimental purposes could you have cut it into 4 sections and still had 4 pots? My petunias reseeded themselves for the first time ever. And I planted purple and white plants last year. They are many shades of pink to red, and several shades of purple. No white.
Yes, that would work too.
how are you doing after that crazy heat wave?
Thanks for asking. It was pretty bad around here. I spend days prior trying to get everything watered but there is no real prep for what hit us. In 30 years of living here, I've never seen heat like that in this area. I had a bunch of established rhododendrons in my landscape get burnt pretty bad on their new growth, and that was after hand watering them. I lost a few plants in the hoop house too. Overall, I feel pretty good about it and most everything did OK and made it through but that was pretty brutal.
Do petunia get stemmy easy or the stock have natural girth?
They get stemmy in too much shade. These would be thicker and fuller in full sun.
As always!,,,,,…..
Sir we want to take your help
I want a petunia seedling tray
how much plants are there? Do petunia grow if its a lot of planta of petunia in?
Tons of individual plants in this basket.
Where DO you get petunia seeds?
I collected my own. Go check out part 1 and see exactly how I got them: ruclips.net/video/7eEOgKVySGg/видео.html
I don’t think I have ever seen petunia seeds! 🤔
I hadn't either until that last video. Go check out part 1: ruclips.net/video/7eEOgKVySGg/видео.html they are so tiny, lol.
After the flowers die and fall off, that's where the seed pod is. The pods will get bigger and eventually pop open, so warch your petunias for this, save that seed pod...I do it every year:) pansies, all violas actually, do the same.
@@MikeKincaid79 thx Mike!
What can I use to control weeds and slow fertilize my petunia bed
Slow release fertilizer can be found in any big box store. Any brand will work well for petunias, just choose something that will be formulated for blooms. As far as weeds go, I use a pre-emergent to prevent weed seeds from germinating. If they've already germinated then you'll have to pull them. Hope that helps and enjoy your spring Virdena!
How can I send you pictures. Some people rescue dogs and cats even children I rescue plants I would like to show you what I've done because of you and your knowledge and videos
Thanks.
Could you please open this video with Turkish subtitles? I don't know English :( I couldn't understand what you said. Last year I collected thousands of petunia seeds, I planted some of them, but I never got any yield and my seeds were wasted.

You remind me of John Schneider 😎
The Dukes of Hazard or the Seahawks manager? LOL
@@MikeKincaid79 The Dukes ☺
Sir we want to learn something from you
Keep watching and practicing.
If I take cuttings year after year, can I keep my (see below) purchases going forever? From seeds, will they come true to the parent? P.S. Tell your wife I said you're a cutie.
Haha, thanks. And yes, you can keep them going forever. Seeds won’t come true to the parent but cuttings will.
@@MikeKincaid79 BTW, I may be old enough to be your grandmother. I'm almost seventy-seven. So I can say that, I think.
At 77, you've definitely got the right to say any dang thing you want, haha. I'm older than I look though. At 44, you'd have to be pretty young when you got pregnant with my Dad. He's 71. Glad you're here for our family's journey and have a blessed day, Mimi!
Fungus gnats????
Yep, they're a thing
I messed up :/ i covered my seeds with small layer of peat moss :/
Just watch and see what happens. They'll probably push through if it's not too thick a layer.
Oh you are crazy but not for the petunia seeds. The fig tree is what makes you insane 😂
LOL, I think you're right. I better get out there and water them in this +100 degree weather.
@@MikeKincaid79 yes I believe you are right

Mike, Seriously it is time to retire that T shirt.
LOL, I just can't part with it. Shellie would like to burn it though.
