Nice. I like the short, to the point, single subject versions as well as the usual ones. I would think a lot of folks with limited time to watch, issues with patience, etc would also love this.
How do you multiply basil ? Here in India get basil for less than a dollar but it's just a single plant without baby plants, so do you propagate using the stem cutting or though seeds?
@@lifeisagarden3612 most U.S. plant companies that produce herbs like basil will over seed a pot, so when you buy a pot, it's likely to have 10 or more plants in it. Basil is pretty forgiving and you can gently tease the roots apart and plant them separately in the garden once temperatures are consistently above 50° Fahrenheit. (10° Celsius). If you already have a mature plant, you can clip side shoots and root in water. Make sure the parts you cut off aren't woody yet, as it won't root if the stem is too old. You should see little roots appear within a few days of taking the cuttings, and can put them in the ground once the roots are about an inch long. You can also propagate from seed. Basil is probably one of the easiest culinary herbs to grow. I hope that helps.
I always count the number of plants in a pot and purchase the pot with the most. Just bought a strawberry basket. Some only had 5 crowns, mine had 8. It Made it well worth purchasing that over the other pots😊😊😊. Pays to look!
In my nursery we do that for most plants, we put two seeds or cuttings in each pot for higher success rate, but when we plant small seeds we put 8 to 15 seeds per pot, most of the pots have two plants where large seeds and cuttings are planted, and at least 10 plants per pot when we plant small seeds.
I used to do city park landscaping and I ended up keeping SO MANY plants. We had to tear out tons of bulb flowers, and whenever I got one by the bulb I took it home. I also took some other plants. Definitely worth looking into city park landscaping if you need a job.
Aren't they cutting down on those jobs? Why had you to tear out bulb flowers? Do flowers, that won't be allowed to stay in long enough to grow another season just end up as a trash pile? Some of those flowers could for sure be saved.
Been doing that recently. Got a young mother plant which had 2 runners coming from it..... and after a few weeks i ended up having 5 free plants from the one mother plant. Shame many strawberries sold here seem to have no runners
I did this with my coffee "plant" ended up with nearly a dozen 4 inch tall coffee plants. I kept the largest for myself and gave the rest away to friend and family, mine is now about 2 feet tall.
I tried separating a pack of beets and none of them survived. I didn’t think root veggies could handle the disturbance anyway. How were you successful??
That's the type grandpa Simpson had tied to his belt. Because it was a fashion at the time. I think my grandfather grew those commercially in the 60s. He was a big grower of onions and peas.
I always make a thorough search when I decide to buy transplants. Last year I scored 5 extra peppers from a six pack, 3 extra cukes in a 4 pack and rescued some tomatoes that were dried out and ready to be disposed of. 😊
I did this with tomatoes, peppers, and basil. I considered dividing the Bee Balm too but I was running out of room in my beds so I left it in a clump.😂
Good idea! I do this with grocery store herbs too. Walmart and Meijer both sell live potted herbs. There are too many in those pots and can be separated.
I bought a sunflower seeds just to eat and as an experiment I trowed a few in a pot. I'm shocked and impressed because every single one sprouts, so this year I will have a tons sunflowers everywhere!
Also, instead buying a tomatoes seeds, I eat the tomatoes, but saving a few seeds and throwing them directly in the soil. I have about 20 growing already, soon to be transplanted outside.
So as someone who runs a nursery, we do the same thing. We will find heavily overgrown plants at other nurseries and divide them. Though we aren't as delicate as this. We usually just beat the dirt off on the ground caveman style, then rip them apart like a savage, but everyone has their methods. Plants are tougher than you think.
I'm loving the 2litre bottle planter hack for my green onions that are just like this. I feel like these would work great in something like that too! I'd love to see your take on it!
It's not more than you pay for...leeks and onions are cluster planted like this on purpose and the intention is that customers can split them up to plant. If you get double tomato seedlings or double peppers that's a mistake, but leeks aren't. Just 2 cents from a nursery worker 👍 Just be careful separating things like tomatoes if you get multiple because if they're already pretty mature in their 4" nursery pot separating without being super careful them could stunt their growth. Also something to consider with heavier feeders like tomatoes is that multiples have less nutrients available than the single tomatoes. All that being said I always buy the pots with multiples.
One hack that I've got for separating seedlings like this is to put the punnet in a bucket of water and let it soak for roughly ten minutes. Usually much easier to separate them 😁
When separating leeks u can trim the roots with sharp scissors, leave about an inch of root U can also trim the leafs but don't cut the growing tip. Don't cover leeks with soil, just make a hole with a dibber and drop them in the hole and water in the hole.
Yass! Since learning this I always look for the BOGOs in all my seedlings! The most I've gotten is 3 peppers for the price of 1 but I've never looked for leeks or onions! I did divide a large hanging strawberry pot into 5 different plants because to buy them individually was way more expensive.
I let my green onions go wild I leave them in the ground all year take only what I need. It snows 🌨 here I'm in zone 6a I think I'll do a shorts video today on them ❤
I do the same! Buy at the store and cut them 2 inches from the root and stick them in the dirt. Keep cutting them 2 inches from the soil to harvest. I'm in FL so they grow all year round. #unlimited green onions 😂
Yes, I bought a few pineapple guava plants because of your channel. Being from America, I’ve never heard of them before, less than a year ago. I got three plants, two of them named varieties. I’m excited to try them once they fruit.
This is why I love your channel! You focus on usable garden hacks and stay away from alt right political rants and verbally abusing your followers. You’ve grown a wonderful business from focusing on adding value each day. You’re such an inspiration.
The best part is each one of those leeks will each spread into 15 more plants, and each of those will turn into 15 more and now oops you're a leek farmer
Exactly! I made my entire business and channel starting from this concept, except with mostly perennials that I split over and over while selling the extras! There's actually so much money in plants if you're willing to just put in a little bit of work!
I just bought a little cherry tomato pot for two dollars, but it had three little plants in it which I carefully separated into three separate pots. Each one is doing well! I want to go back and look for more double-plant pots like that. They did have six packs of onion starts with a dozen or more in each cell, that's a lot of onions if I could separate them...
I might start selling herbs and small veggie plants now. You don't see it much in my area. Except rosemary. My little corner of Texas loves their rosemary.
This goes for aquarium plants as well. I thought I was getting scammed paying $10 for a little underwater plant and then when I took it home it broke apart into 30 individual plants They grew so fast in my tank as well, by the next month I was selling clippings on Craigslist
Some things make sense to buy as starts and others do not... often see people buy pea plants or carrots and I just want to grab them and push them back to the racks of seeds.
I don’t do any edible gardening, but I just bought a Chinese Evergreen that had three fully healthy plants inside one pot! Always check to see if you can separate plants
*ProTip: get a 5gal bucket of water and just dunk the root ball in there repeatedly while massaging it a little.. it'll come apart nicely and quickly.*
My mom and I go green-housing every spring and hit up all the Amish greenhouses in our area, and we always look for the pots with accidental multiples! It's more bang for your buck!
Kevin....you just told my secret to plant buying in general, besides clearances. Saves time and money! It's my win-win. Now, a win-win for everyone. 🤣😂🤣
I bought a small pot of leeks that contained three times as many, but were half as large. I gently pressed the middle kind of unfolded the bunch, then planted them in a shallow ten inch pot. It was a very tedious task, but I’m looking forward to seeing what it looks like today!
Alrighty, Kevin! I have TWO questions for you, based on this. 1. Will this method you shared work for bulb onion seedlings, too? 2. Can we get the relatively same quality of seedlings (both leeks and bulb onions) from doing this ourselves (e.g. sowing a bunch of leeks to one container to save space; fertilizing it a couple times)? I am thinking this could save ALOT of space in our propagation/seedstarting stations, if so! As you know, most home gardeners have very limited, if any indoor seedstarting space. I myself am just building my setup for Spring.
I had that happen when I bought a spider plant last year. I bought what I thought was one healthier plant (the others were a bit weak-looking), and it turns out there were three! So now I have 3x the spider plants that I thought I'd have lol.
I just learned this with my snake plant. Repotted it and there were actually three in there but the biggest one had 3 roots that broke off anyway so I could’ve gotten 4-5 plants out of that one! I only did two though
I was so confused why I couldn't grow anything and discovered this when I washed out the roots! They do this with so many plants. I bought a coffee plant at a nursery that was 3' and one that was 4" Turns out it was 2x 3' ones and 7 4" ones all smashed together 😅 needless to say I gave a couple away.
My name is Mary Ann Dehlsen, first of all, I been enjoying your comments and learning so much for you and your guests. I have a question for you, I have a eggplant and I would like to save it for next year, but I don't know if I should trimmed down for it to grow better. We had a amazing fruit this year. I would like to know for you, many y tube people give all kinds of suggestions, but I personally trust yours the most. Please keep your good work going and I wish you the best. Sincerely Mary Ann.
Hi! That’s a really good idea, however I’d leave the soil around the roots. This way the plants are a ton less stressed, if you wash away all the soil the plant could die from it.

I f you actually take a leak ,on your leak it will grow better from the natural urea fertilizer!!!
They do that with other plants as well. My favorite is paying $2.50 for a Basil plant at the grocery store and ending up planting up to 10 basils!
I Literally just said I'm going to the grocery to start my herbs 😊

Funny that I just looked at basil at Wal Mart yesterday.
my 3 inch leek container from the nursey held nearly 100 leeks, and the damn near all made it once seperated
That's a big container wow
3" to be precise
The glory of seed casting. I am glad to hear they made it. Great growing 🙌
@@Pathfinderxr 3" is big to some people
I put my containers with 2-300 seeds in the south-facing window in February. Next year I'll start in January.
I wish I could come and see the garden in person. When I retire from the military I want to start a garden/homestead
Good for you to have goals! Kudos
You got this!!!

Often they want all new bulbs next season, so they look their best. They end up throwing away many beautiful plants. Sad.
Thank you I just noticed that the strawberry plant that I bought close to 2 months ago is actually 5 separate plants
I had that happen as well when I bought a strawberry plant once
People who garden know what to do with the plants in the pot they purchased. It is non gardeners who don't get it.
It’s because they start from multiple seeds in one pot most of the time
@@trilfiger448strawberries normally come from runners, not seeds. At least if you‘re buying already existing varieties.
Did this a few days ago buying strawberry plants. Choose the ones with the most runners. 👍🏼
Looking forward for your results on tape😊
Been doing that recently. Got a young mother plant which had 2 runners coming from it..... and after a few weeks i ended up having 5 free plants from the one mother plant. Shame many strawberries sold here seem to have no runners

Absolutely! Bought a "6-pack" of beets...after separation, 40!!! And the two cukes I bought became 4 & 5 plants respectively.
I tried separating a pack of beets and none of them survived. I didn’t think root veggies could handle the disturbance anyway. How were you successful??
@jhjln8712 Luck? None of them became very big, but the person I was growing them for preferred smaller ones anyways.
I do this with many nursery plants! And basil from the grocery store.
I bought some Spanish yellow onions in a six pack…45 minutes later I separated and planted 79 freaking onions 😂 poor things were packed
Let my onions go...
Butifill
That's the type grandpa Simpson had tied to his belt. Because it was a fashion at the time. I think my grandfather grew those commercially in the 60s. He was a big grower of onions and peas.
I did that one time. Ended up with a whole row of 80 leeks. They did great and got huge.
I don't think I've ever bought anything from a nursery that wasn't root bound, that was a nice bundle you found 😃
I always make a thorough search when I decide to buy transplants. Last year I scored 5 extra peppers from a six pack, 3 extra cukes in a 4 pack and rescued some tomatoes that were dried out and ready to be disposed of. 😊

I learnt about this on this channel. I’ve separated my Walmart basil last week. So far they are looking a bit eh!! Hopefully, they’ll perk up soon.

This is super cool, you should try uploading short informational videos like this more often
Why wouldn't this just be common sense? They can't even grow as packed as they are...
I did this with my lemon grass this year. Bought one plant; it’s now in three giant containers.
This is true for common house plants too, I always check to see if the pot is full because that usually means more plants
Yes! I also bought a pothos and immediately took cuttings and rooted them in water. I'll have multiple plants in a month!
My Nana taught me this as a kid 30 odd years ago!!
I look at the strawberry plants, often I’ll find a few that actually have two crowns you can separate
I used to do that with live basil from the grocery store. Works amazingly well
Always pick a cool overcast day todo this!
Any specific reason why?
So as someone who runs a nursery, we do the same thing. We will find heavily overgrown plants at other nurseries and divide them. Though we aren't as delicate as this.

Brutal! 🔨
I did the same for my spring onion's!! So many more than I expected 😂 the more the better.
I always look for the containers with multiple plants! 😁
Same.
I learned these about chive plants! I uprooted some once and was shocked 😂 they grow like crazy in my rocks after the flowers drop their seeds
There is nothing better than fresh chives 😋
Dried chives are a crime against your taste buds.
Yes we need to be wise with our money and more knowledgeable about how to grow vegetables and herbs for our kitchens
I always look for plants like this when I am grabbing stuff for my gardens

Exactly they are super cheap. This short should have been labeled how to separate your nursery plants
@@christinemaney2294 then they must be super dumb.
I always look for the multiples in every nursery pot. 3-4 for one every time!
This works AMAZING for basil, $3-4 for like 20 plants
Would it work for other herbs as well or only basil?
Yes! This will work for any herb/vege at the garden center@@nohely3141
Basil is also so easy to propagate from cuttings too. So once you buy one basil plant you have it forever.
