Rooting cuttings is such a clever way to propagate plants. No problems with germination or buying seeds. Seed germination can be a pain, but it is glorious to see a tiny seed turn into a plant.
Your lavender cuttings looked amazing. I've had zero success with lavender but I have never added perlite in the way you did. I think I shall be giving it a try though. Thanks for your video. 🤗
Oh fun! Great minds think alike. I was out in the garden today doing the same; propagating lambs ear from cuttings. Your lavender did so well! Much success to the plectantrus as well. Thanks, Erin.
I got really bold this year & rooted several stems of the Angel Earrings Fuschia ( patent expired). The parent plant is now almost a shrub & while the Raleigh botanical garden has kept one in the ground, I'm too chicken to try it in N. Georgia. Now that I have several, I might give it a try. I use quart size empty juice bottle tops to make mini-greenhouses for cuttings. I also had good luck with a Cuphea. I over wintered one & will make some cuttings soon. The Hummingbirds love them!
Have been trying to figure out a way to purchase and set up a grow light system without Mr. Just Say No finding out…growing on from propagated cuttings is such a good idea!
Love your channel so much Erin! I have learned so much from you, and even though I consider myself an experienced gardener, you explain everything so easily that for some reason it “sticks” in my brain!!😂. And thanks to you, I’m in love with dahlias and can’t wait for my order to come!!!
I propagate professionally for my small nursery and just love the process. Its very addicting. Thanks for the inspiration to go out in this terrible weather and get some hardwoods propagated for this year!
Thank you for uploading this video. It seems as if I miss my opportunity every year. But, this year I'm going for it and will try propogating. Also, I got a good laugh at watching your cat dive right into the shot at about 4 minutes into the video.
Had fantastic success with coleus last year. It was doing great this year, until I got carried away with the vacuum, and it was gone in a split second!
I have added Plectranthis to my plants to look for,thank you.I have a lot of success rooting perennial sallvias(not the blue) the Corals , pinks and reds in potting soil or seed starter mix.
I love propagating from cuttings. I try it with most of my plants when I trim them back. Not always successful but when I am it makes me smile. Wish we could grow lavender here in central Florida but gets too hot, humid and wet in summer. There is a variety sold here that does well iin winter ( I do not know the name). It looks like lavender but the leaves give off a heavenly lemony scent. Thanks for this video.
When mixing perlite, I would put on a mask (now that we all have them in house anyway), as those particles are not good for your lungs. Cuttings took very well. I am starting some English Lavander from seed, and it's slow! Luckily I started Jan 10.
Very helpful video, Erin. Beautiful root systems on those lavender cuttings. I usually keep some coleus cuttings, but the frost got them before I took cuttings last year. I always root everything I trim on them in spring and summer and they are amazing. Sometimes have them start to root in 3-4 days outside. It would be nice if all plants would root that easily. Itching to dig in the dirt outside here in zone 6 New England.
How exciting to be playing in the dirt, Erin! I’m excited to see that Lavender 💜 all grown up! I potted up a Lemon 🍋 Cypress tree 🌳 today. Have a Blessed Night. 😊
Very helpful. I will try that with coleus and begonias next fall. Wish I had done that with my Spanish lavender which survived our 7b winters for 4 years until too many single digit nights recently. However the dwarf butterfly bush is looking extra happy so maybe that’s the win. Have you ever worked perlite into a garden bed?
Looking forward to seeing them get planted...ready for warm weather and working in the gardens. I have only propagated live forevers. Just break them off and stick th in the ground so I'm nervous about doing it but I'm going to try lavender and rosemary if they made it through the winter. You made it look easy thanks 🌹🌷❤
I have just started watching your videos and am really learning a lot. You explain your process so thoroughly. I never gotten lavender to root -- but will definitely try the rooting hormone and putting them on the side of the pot
Hi Sandy! I’m so glad you found that helpful. With lavender (and similar plants like rosemary), also take cutting from soft stems, now cutting into the woody stems.
Great idea. I took cuttings of all my coleus in the fall and they are growing out of their pots. I think I’ll do another round of cuttings! You’re always so helpful! Oh! And I was able to find some purple bell vine seeds after admiring your plants. Wish me luck! 🤞
Can you do cuttings from your cobea you saved? I have 2 seeds that came up from 20 and they are going to be huge by summer at the rate they are going. Hopefully pinching and do cuttings will yield me more plants by then
Lol. I thought the two bags on the shelf were potato chips! I just had a tooth extraction and haven't been able to eat, so maybe i'm hallucinating. I love the video.
This was so helpful, and inspiring. Would love to know any which plants this propagation method has the most success (salvias? vinca? Heather? other?) Thanks for the great video. 👍💚
Great video!! Question…. Would it have been ok to ‘root prune’ that lavender before you replanted them to stimulate more side roots??? I know you cut a couple long ones but I was thinking cut half of it off. I know you have to leave some but the plant is so small it seems safe to cut more roots. But I may be completely wrong. I love your channel!! ❤️
More great tips from Erin in the frozen North! LOL! Not only do I learn great gardening tips from you, you have introduced me to some plants I may never have given a second glance. Purple bell vine and plectranthus to name just two. By the way, how is your PBV doing? 💜
Super helpful! Thank you for sharing! I always wondered how deep I should plant cuttings and you cleared that up for me. Have you ever successfully propagated petunias (supertunias) from cuttings?
So there is no degradation to speak of when doing this? I have several Lavenders as well as some Rosemary that I would like to get some cuttings from to not only start new plants and save money but hopefully replace the originals that are a bit long in the tooth and are currently used as foundation plantings. It seems a bit too good to be true but maybe the plants actually thrive with a fresh start and not so much plant to feed?
That is exactly it. They are like fresh new clones of what you cut from and often will end up being healthier than the mother state (and let’s hope so in the case of my plectranthus because that mother plant is pathetic).
Gee. Wish I’d seen this last August before I let my lavender succumb to the outside elements. Learned that I probably put too much Root Stimulator on my Elberta Peach Tree cuttings. Oops. Do you think I can get a tree from my cuttings?? Thanks for your videos from Texas.
I’m sure your peach tree is grafted onto a hardier root stock so you may get a peach cutting to take but it won’t grow well unless you graft it onto root stock. Also, taking cuttings from woody plants is sort of a different animal.
You mean talking about gardening ad nauseam & never lifting a finger is NOT gardening?? Huh! What a concept. 😂 I say that bc that’s what I’ve been doing. I hate perlite w a passion, I’ve been using what the brits use & like “grit” much better. Ooob, I spy an orange kitty. 😻
I so wish we could go to a garden center and ask for a bag of grit and not be looked at sideways. I buy chicken grit sometimes which I figure is close to what the Brits use.
@@TheImpatientGardener Yup, I’ve been using it for about a year. You will not believe how fast stuff roots in it mixed half with regular potting soil. Also no dust & no floating to the top. 😖
Totally need to do this, lavender never over survives my cold damp winters and I need more! Thanks as always for teaching us new techniques to grow our gardens!

what is plactantrus plant?
Thanks for showing this. I am trying to do this to boxwood. Will try more plants also.
As always, so fun and inspiring. We put up a small temporary greenhouse today. Feels like another step toward spring.
Never heard of the 1st plant, but I'm definitely going to look it up now. Thanks!
Hello 👋 dear ,how are you doing?
Those lavender babies are thriving! Propagation is so satisfying. Like seed starting, you get that slightly buzzy feeling of being a minor god. 😂
(Thumps chest) I. Have. Made. Plants!!!!

Just tell him how much money you’ll be saving by doing all that propagating. 😀

THANK YOU! It's always so great to get the helpful information you provide. I'm SO looking forward to seeing how these babies do out in the garden. :)
I love propagations just knowing when to stop is my issue
Ooooh those beautifully rooted lavenders were a joy to behold... lol the things we gardeners get excited about!!! Great video as always!!!
That cat is huge!.. and I love silver plants and easy to propagate plants.. I will try and hunt this one down.. Thanks Erin
I LOVE PROPAGATION! 💚
I do cuttings of begonias, every year. It's so fun!

So cool! I will definitely propagate lavander to make a hedge of it. Thanks Erin!🤗
This is awesome, thanks Erin. I am going to try some lavender cuttings this year!
Great idea on trying to root some lavender. Need to do that this year! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, love hearing about propagation.
I'm getting ready to do this with my rosemary. Thanks for the reminder Erin 🙂 as always I enjoyed your content. 👌

I never have luck with Coleus or Lavender. But busy giving TLC to my containers with moving they have been neglceted ans abuse by my helpers
I am wondering how your purple bell vine is wintering over? Would love an update! Best wishes, Dorothy
I lost one but the other is doing great. Currently trying to root cuttings from that one but it’s too soon to report on that.

Super helpful! Thank you for sharing! I always wondered how deep I should plant cuttings and you cleared that up for me. Have you ever successfully propagated petunias (supertunias) from cuttings?
I have not tried petunias from cuttings, but most of the time I like to do a couple inches so at least one leaf node is under the soil.
How far from grow lights do you put these now in soil? Great idea.
Nice👍👏😊
Is wine and weeds coming back?
Heck ya! Right now the weeds portion would require a chisel but as soon as the ground is thawed a bit there will be weeds to pull.
