I'm a Gardener trained in the 90's , and this guy really explained cuttings in a way anyone can understand. That's what you call a professional gardener/lecturer. A lot of nursery men and women don't give away their secrets. I'm going to keep this for reference. I'm in Ireland Thanks 👍
Yes he's Great, but willows are the most easy trees to clone,i wanna see him do it with citrustrees , i tell you thats a whole different story , it aint that easy as i know from experience
@@colonelrobertshaw9170 The major missing point for me was a KIND OF SOIL Dr. Ken used for hardwood stick propagation. It appears to be something "puffy" white. What is that remains undisclosed on the video. Why ? The entire video without such important element disclosed seems like a miracle. And I don't like miracles to believe in. The author does not use rooting hormone, does not say about the soil mix recipe.... Why ?
you probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last days xD
Hi: there are a few plants that I propagate when I perform some pruning and works very well. Nothing special, I just select the cutting and find an area with no more that 20% direct sunlight, the ground normally stay moist in these areas, and just stick the hardwood cuttings in the ground. I get near 80% success on these plants (forsythia, green giant arborvitae, butterfly bush, rose of Sharon).
I know this is old, but it is the best video I have seen on cuttings. I have tried for years and got 3-4 "AHA" moments from understanding the physiology better. Thanks.
I'm trying to root long cuttings of nine bark at this time. I was pruning a very prolific overgrown one and thought I would give it a go. Right when I pruned it, I immediately put the cuttings into a clean bucket with some rooting hormone..I left them in that bucket for two days to watch what would happen to the leaves. They all looked good so I just followed the usual steps for hardwood cuttings except I left a few leaves-cut in half, I have them in a makeshift green house. They are looking good as evidenced by the condition of the leaves. A few have not done so well, I lost about four so far. But I figure, they were just going to be wasted anyway, so why not try something different. I really enjoy your tutorials. PS I sometimes make my own rooting hormone from my dappled willow cuttings.
Thanks for your thorough class in the all important basics. I have always done this small scale, but now I have and idea of how to do it in a perlite/vermiculite deep tray. The marked board ,I love that!
Very informative. This explains why my tomato plant cuttings weren't rooting... should have placed them in a more shaded area and put them in a plastic bag to keep humidity high. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your expertise. I appreciate you showing me how to propagate plants. It's helpful to increase what you already have if you are on a budget. God Bless! Janice
very, very interesting...when I was a kid, my dad would just stick a willow switch in the dirt and it would grow....we had water not far under the ground always.....
Super informational video, thanks so much. Question: Another variable is rooting medium, which I can see is different for each type of cutting. You use perlite for your misting table and soil for your willow. Can you expand on rooting mediums? Also are you applying root heat via a heating mat? Thanks again.
Thanks for the science details. That made it a lot more understandable and clear. I tried to build a mini green house with a 5 gl bucket full of potting soil with 5 one inch drain holes in the bottom edge (July 10 2017). I sliced the top off a 5 gallon blueish plastic water bottle. I stuck my grapevine, Leafless, hormone coated cuttings in the soil, 3 -4 buds underground, watered and covered them with the bottle and wrapped -sealed it with standard kitchen cellafane . I then put the "Green House" on the shaddy side of my house (no dirrect sun) under the pic-nick table. Salt Lake City air temperatures range daily from 70-90 degrees. Do you think my vine cuttings have everything they need to grow? What else do I need to watch for? Sincerely Lloyd
I bought a green house from home depot, and have about 18 plant cuttings in there the area is moist, I mean I mist it daily, and there is green algae or something growing in my cups I use at the bottom and some on top. I used clear plastic cups, poked holes on the bottom, rooting powder, and perlite
+Kappucino Kiss - Light in the pots promotes algae growth. Next time you could try pots which won`t let the light in (perhaps brown plastic bottles) and see if works.
TattedSweetheart I bought a greenhouse from Big Lots, and the damned thing blew across my yard 3 times, dumping out all my seedlings and trays of seeds before I trashed it. It pays to buy a better greenhouse. Even concrete blocks wouldn't hold it down. 😝
Lots of info that I didn't know...thanks for saving me a lot of loss of cuttings. I have a white fringe tree and a double mock orange that I have been wanting to propagate and didn't know the best way to do so. With the latter, it is possible to tip layer it-the lower branches are flimsy and quite low to the ground. I desperately want to clone that fringe tree because they are so hard to find around here..might try air layering it.
I am having trouble with Blueberry plants. I have tried layering and mounding and softwood without a mist system and all three are a failure. It is so frustrating it makes me want to stick to strawberries because the self propergate so well it makes growing them very rewarding.
hi, I've tried every way I know to get dozens of Blue Spruce tree cuttings to root. I tried little 2 inch twigs to 3 ft branches in raised beds with lots of decomposed leaf mulch mixed in, in pots of potting mix, in jars of water, in a King Cloner with timer control, always watched temps carefully, and I've tried air layering. I've always used Clonex rooting gel on all cuttings, and although it just washes off in the King Cloner, its still mixed with the water. I also had an unknown variety of Spruce Christmas tree I liked which I took some cuttings from. I have had no success rooting either the Blue Spruce or the Christmas tree Spruce cuttings. But now, seven months after Christmas, about half my Christmas Tree cuttings are still alive and the needles are still green, soft and flexible - but no roots at all. And some of my Blue Spruce cuttings also remain alive for 6 or more months, but they eventually all die. I don't want the remaining Christmas Tree Spruce cuttings to die too, but what else can I do to encourage Spruce tree cutting rooting? There's very little info on Spruce Tree cloning on the internet. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
S Phillips try a germination heating mat underneath. I think it would wake it up and force it to grow roots, or try the air layering method, peel the cadmium back in a ring around the limb or twig you want to root, use rooting hormone and paper towel, or some compost and sand mixed togethwr, in a plastic. bag, wrap the wound you made in the compost in the bag, tape it or use floral tape to secure it ensure it stays moist.
I was wondering the same about fruit trees. I pal told a tale of his long dead grandma propagating roses by shoving the stem down a female bluegill's throat to provide a root starting medium. Just thought I'd share. lol
Excelent video! I learned a lot. I want to grow a fig tree from a cutting someone gave me. It is about 18" long and has about 4 leaves and 3 little figs on the end of the cutting. I have temporarlly stuck it in a glass of water and want to know how I should proceed in order to propagate a new tree. It is now September in Long Island New York . Any help would be much appreciated.
Trying to figure out what I am doing wrong in trying to start some plants from cuttings off my High Bush Blueberries. I took some cuttings stripped some leaves dipped them in root hormone. Put in Part Sand and part Perlite. Put them inside a garbage bag, white, to set up the humidity. Put them in the shade outside yesterday. Today I check and they had wilted and turned brown. What am I doing wrong? I am also trying to see if I can root some of them in a glass of water. Any ideas appreciated.
Great Video Dr. Mudge! Every time I cover a cutting with a plastic bag, 2-3 days later I have a fungus growing on the potting mix or even the stalks. Any advice to avoid this?
What is the best way, and best time, to take and root a cutting from a cherry tree? Would that be the semi-hardwood like the last case? And what kind of soil would I want to put it in?
Any advice on where to get misting systems? I assume you may have built your own out of pvc, irrigation tubing glued onto said pvc, and the misters themselves but could be mistaken. Also any info on recommended misting systems? I have looked around and they seem to be fairly expensive for the home hobbyist "usually 3-5x higher than the actual plumbing/ a PITA if you have multiple greenhouses and would like to add multiple small cutting areas".
What medium would you reccomend for rooting citrus, and how hard is it to root citrus? At the moment i'me trying to root a lemon cutting in ericaceous compost, but i'me not shure how succesfull it will be...

Can you give me some advice? A neighbor gave me a lot of raspberry clippings, most are about 2 feet long and all are this years growth, at the beginning of September. I put them in water under the porch (2 hours of afternoon sun) but they are not rooting. This is my first time trying to propagate plants. Should I get some rooting compound? Should I cut them into smaller plants? Should I bring them into the garage where it stays warmer at night? Should I put them into a perlite/ peat moss mix? Should I make some kind of humidity chamber?

Hi Ken, Greetings, Thank you for posting very interesting and informative videos. I watch and educate my self & find them quite useful. I have an enquiry. May be you can help me. I have a Gul Mohar tree (Delonix regia) over hanging my small vegetable patch which constantly sheds tiny fern-like leaves and flowers into my patch. I suspect that these leaves are Allelopathic to other growth. Is it true & if yes what is the solution. Thanks
The best way to Propegate or (Root) Tree cuttings is to start before even cutting the plant. Use a knife and at the base of your tree cutting trim off the outer skin 2 inches all the way around. Take a couple damp paper towels and lightly sprinkle rooting hormone in the center making a line long ways. Wrap the damp paper towels around the 2 inch bare tree limb where you skinned. You may want to tape it for best result. Keep the paper towel damp and within a few weeks roots will form. When you have a rooting system you are ready to cut the limb. Make sure to take the entire limb and root by cutting under the spot you rooted... would be silly to root the nub of a limb.
+Nelson Di Salvatore - Yes, the methods Dr. Mudge shared in this video work for most types of trees. Keep in mind that some species of tree root very easily, like the willow trees mentioned in the video, while others are much more difficult to root.
ty, i already have some white mold on ground and some starts to go on leaf, i start to use some fungicide and let them opened till all mold disappear, but ill lose greenhouse effect, i thought i can use some natural fungicide but i dont know if something like that exists ...
+shakaama - This greenhouse belongs to a university. Dr. Mudge, as a college/university professor, is not a highly paid nor a rich person. Relative to the time and money required to earn a doctoral degree, college & university professors in the USA are generally quite poorley paid. No manservants are involved. Yet you are blessed with the benefit of his knowledge on rooting,cuttings - for free.
Hello Dr Ken......I am sure that you know what you are talking about. Have ever considered talking at a level that all people will understand. I could understand most of the things that you were talking about, until you became redundant in what you were saying. Maybe even consider the audience level that you are talking to on your videos!
Daniel David No offense my man but if you do not understand it then its not that hard to use google. He was fairly redundant so he didn't say a ton of stuff that was all over the place. I learned a lot and I have a misting system on my greenhouse and appreciated the advanced info. There are a ton of videos/info on taking simple cuttings, I love the idea with the stick, its very similar to a planting stick. You may have just saved me an insane amount of time with that one so thanks.

TattedSweetheart you have to block the light from reach the water, algea will compete against the plant with nutrition which is not good at all.

If you get white fungus on the soil top around the plant, sprinkle cinnamon on it so I've heard. I'm trying it now for chilli pepper plants.

I could understand most of the things that you were talking about, until you became redundant in what you were saying. Maybe even consider the audience level that you are talking to on your videos!
Hi Daniel. No not really. Usually I try to operate above a third grade education level. Wal Mart sells these things called headphones. Get you some.
Daniel David No offense my man but if you do not understand it then its not that hard to use google. He was fairly redundant so he didn't say a ton of stuff that was all over the place. I learned a lot and I have a misting system on my greenhouse and appreciated the advanced info. There are a ton of videos/info on taking simple cuttings, I love the idea with the stick, its very similar to a planting stick. You may have just saved me an insane amount of time with that one so thanks.

I lost everyone of my plants : Inside outside in the shade not a shade it's as if somebody sprayed poison on them.
What kind of plants?
You use sand for soil.
Yes works well for cuttings.
