Nice content, but you forgot to include negative control, which here would be plain water. Plants produce auxin naturally and it would have been interesting to see, how well your cuttings would root naturally. Now we can't really make any conclusion about how effective the Clonex or cinnamon really are, since we don't know how those would have rooted naturally.
Thank you for doing the experiment so we won't have to. I've tried my share of honey and cinnamon and I didn't see that it helped rooting at all. I've never tried Clonex because it was always cost prohibitive for me and I opted for a more economical rooting hormone. However, this makes me want to reconsider spending the money seeing as how nice those roots looked.
Hello Markus 👋 I realized that issue during the filming of the results. I’m sure we’ll have other rooting demos in the future- I’ll be sure to keep a control for comparison next time. Happy Gardening, Charles 🌱👍
Please do@IVOrganic That was fun to watch and see the results with your explanations. Another opportunity tp do honey but diluted like it should have been?
I prune a good size branch off of my pomegranate tree around the time of the first video you posted and I only used honey I didn’t dilute it but so far more than 50% of them have pushed out leaves what I used was a regular pot with potting mix and a ziploc bag on top of them and placed the pot next to parent plant
I'm willing to bet that you used better 🍯... I would think the type of honey would make a difference as raw honey and Manuka honey are more super medicinal in benefits ❤
Good Morning, Charles, Thank you for this presentation using the 3 commonly used rooting hormones for rooting cuttings. I use the same method for rooting cuttings, either the doubled cups or in a bin/shallow container (with a drain hole) as yours. I have used both the rooting hormone and cinnamon (in a pinch) and with the same results as you've shown. I've not used honey. My results were the same with more roots with a rooting hormone vs longer roots with cinnamon. I am going to the garden shortly with some cuttings to root and will experiment with a mix of both rooting hormone & cinnamon combined to see if I can get more roots AND longer roots. I have a lot to up-pot that I know have rooted that are in the double cup rooting system. I have never used honey due to the attraction of ants/fire ants that are very prevalent here in the deep south. They can do massive damage to established plants so definitely didn't want any rootings covered with fire ants or worse. Crazy weather here with torrential rains and now a massive heat wave so all plants/trees are struggling with UV radiation burning them up. Had to bring out the shade cloth to keep most alive. Great video. I'll let you know how I fair with the new rootings using both the cinnamon & rooting hormone. Still trying to replace all the fruit trees I lost with the crazy freeze we had in Dec 2022. AND the one night severe freeze in March 2023 where I lost alot more trees. 40 degree drop in temps in a few hours with strong winds. Fig trees, even the older established ones took a big hit and are still struggling to survive! Blessings always! Bonnie in Alabama.
@@luckyson7594 I have not even looked at the results of my trial runs I stated above. We are in a massive heat wave and have been since June. Even using shade cloth, the heat (125+F) feels like temps with actual temps 105(F)-110(F) EVERYTHING is struggling to survive, even with proper care. I have shrubs/trees with green leaves that you can literally crunch to a powder. I have a rose bush that normally thrives in full morning sun that has the leaves all burned off but is still producing roses. Strangest things going on that I've NEVER experienced. The 3 cuttings/scions have taken and are full of green growth but I've not dare mess with them fearing any change in their location/growing environment may kill them. I've never haad my scuppernong grapes drop from the vines still green, even with proper watering. I've lost all of those this year, and it being a bumper crop! I've piddled with grafting & propagating for YEARS with 98% success but can't say I will be that lucky this year. I'll check them soon when the temps cool down some HOPEFULLY next week if the tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico doesn't blow them into the next county. If it isn't one thing this year, it is something else!!
You should def do a control bin like all the others say to compare it to a normal natural growth with plain old dirt and water but I would like to see a video on you trying aloe Vera …??!
Great instructive video. Thanks. It looks like some plants respond better to the cinnamon than to the Clonex eg The mint and figs. Most of the other plants responded better to the Clonex. I am in the San Fernando Valley just north of Los Angeles. I dont know where you are located. I think location is also important because we very often have many days of very low humidity. I have some very beautiful Roses and want to clone them. I am going to try Roses, Oleander and mint with Cinnamon. They all seem to thrive in the climate where I live. Clonex is just price gouging at more than $4 an oz.

What works well on citrus cuttings? I had a very young(1" or less) key lime seedling that got cut off by an earwig or something and rooted it in plan rain water so I figured new growth citrus would work the same but they just rotted away, older green cuttings that had gotten harder would not root either however lead farmer here on RUclips air layered a very large citrus limb and that worked for him, I'm trying one on a flying dragon now with about a 1/4" limb, that was started a week or so ago..Thanks, and also thanks for the info in the video.

A further observation that may be useful for those who have limited choice of compost from online superstores: I found many plants wouldn't make roots in the small bags of 'houseplant compost' I was getting. I thought to try sterilising some with boiling water poured through it in a litre filter funnel. Surprised to find that water poured in did not come out the bottom. Even under vacuum It only dripped through very slowly, so all but the biggest thirstiest plants like tomatoes were suffocated even when the top of the compost looked dry. I then used a flour sieve, partly emersed in a bucket of water to try and retain the more free draining fraction, and I found that half the 'compost' was just peat dust, that water will not flow through when wet, and will not wet when dry. Once this was separated, plants grew properly as the roots could breathe.
Might be difficult since oranges are evergreen so maybe leave a leaf on top. I think a much safer choice is airlayering or grafting. Your tree may be grafted on a dwarf or semi-dwarf rootstock so if you do airlayer, you will get the same variety but it may grow much larger. I think the best bet is letting the rootstock grow out, airlayering that off, and grafting the orange onto that. Or you could purchase a dwarf rootstock and graft a cutting of the orange on that. Best of luck.
Hello Adam, Just wanted to thank you for the message you wrote to me earlier. We are in the process of revising that part of today's publication. Thanks again for your feedback-- not sure how we overlooked it on our part! Have a GREAT weekend, Charles
Hello Sheryl, As Adam explained, the orange (or any other cutting) will potentially grow to the size of the original parent plant. Average standard size orange trees grow 20 to 30 feet; whereas most grafted citrus for backyard growers use a semi-dwarf to dwarf rootstock. Citrus is typically propagated by way of grafting. Other fruits, such as pomegranates, grapes and figs are typically propagated by way of cuttings. However, now that you've been warned, I'd still give it a try... to propagate your orange tree by way of cutting. Also, as Adam said, you may have better success with air-layering. Here's a helpful lesson on air-layeing: ruclips.net/video/rOjf7LliPmM/видео.html Keep us posted on your citrus rooting successes! Charles
We’re these all left outside in the garden or were they indoor under lights…it’s a little hot here in Texas for such delicate propagation. How can I get a pomegranate tree?
MUST be the raw/unprocessed honey.OUt of bee-hive I suppose. But he did not mentioned what he used. I doubt that it is possible to propagate anything in non diluted honey as nothing can develop in it. no bugs, funguls, no growth(I did not tried). I have an excess to raw honey all the time and only sometimes add a spoon to the bucket with a commertial fertilizer(as it is written on the bottle to add some sugar and I reckon the honey is better).
I have a question, which cinnamon did you use? One version is the real cinnamon and there are other cheaper versions from china that can be harmful to humans if you have too much. But yeah will try the real cinnamon :O)
Maybe it wasn't the dilution factor but the quality of honey. What I refer to is that there are alot of totally "fake" honey and also high amount of honey sold that is just containing a small portion of real honey. I think only pure honey might give any effect but probably honey ain't beneficial at all for this purpose.
My bro is beekeeper and I use it sometimes. Not much success.I just add a tbspoon of the raw/unprocessed honey into the bucket with commercial fertilize.That is it. Rooting in the raw honey? I can't believe it. honey will preserve plants.

@IVOrganics Have you ever tried using Garlic Powder for rooting? It is ANTI-EVERYTHING so was wondering if it would be suitable for propagation? I grow my own & grind my own powder so I KNOW it is organic and the real thing. Maybe with a little honey??? Honey-infused garlic is a fabulous combination for fighting illnesses & killing bad germs in humans so I would assume it would work the same for rooting scions.

No control bin. Pointless exercise.
Everything I put rooting compounds on rots.
I've not tried mixing vermiculite and perlite on their own though...

Cinnamon is pure cinnamon powder?
You should do another experiment with the cinnamon and clone X to see if it superior
I wish you had done one with no extra support
I will try this with my orange tree.

anyone tried mixing honey and cinnamon?
oldschool method is to chew on it and a little spit
I think i would just use a wetvac b4 i drilled a hole in my tote
put some small fish in there. they eat mosquito larva wile providing plants with nutrients.
Can u clone a Japanese maple?
Curious, did you take note of the cinnamon type? Asian vs. Mexican etc? The asian/ceylon is sometimes called "true cinnamon". Thanks!
