Last year I had to prune back a big lavender that had grown out to block a path. I didn't want to waste the prunings & had great success rooting them getting over 30 plants from that adventure. I was the Lavender Santa giving out plants to friends & family & planting more myself. Thanks for your cheerful, helpful vids.
Wow. I have 4 bushes so I'm going to try that so that I can have more to harvest. I just use the fresh lavender and some fresh mint to make tea for bed time and it puts me to sleep really good.
@@candicecorbin4690 Selecting viable cutting material for propagation is a learning experience. the flowers are trying a different method of reproduction (making seeds) than rooting cuttings & will inhibit successful rooting. With Lavender you can harvest the flowers then make cuttings from the current seasons growth. Old wood doesn't root well either, but with a heavy pruning I had lots of good material to root.
I do this with almost every type of plant. It works almost always and many times I don't even use rooting hormone. Amazing how many beautiful plants you can own this way. And watching them grow gives you so much love and satisfaction.
I just dip my cuttings in a bit of honey or cinnamon to give them food and keeps them from rotting before growing roots. Every little cutting that grows into a new plant makes my heart smile.
I take cuttings of all sorts some take others dont. Ive failed with wild Spanish broom several times and with lavender. I dont buy rooting hormone so will try the cinnamon
Mike, thank you! I dont think I have heard a youtube presenter EVER give some directions for the Southern Hemisphere... It is so good to hear. I understand the summer/winter difference, but I was confused by the North/south thing. So yes, please, give more directions in the two hemispheres - you are GLOBAL! Greetings from Queensland, Australia!
Thanks so much for the comment Loren! I was in Perth in 2001 while in the US Navy. We were there for 4 days and enjoyed the visit thoroughly. Had a fantastic time in Hobart, Tasmania as well. I'll never forget my time in your country. Very nice people and a magical place. There's definitely a following of gardeners from your neck of the woods and I do my best to make my info work for you guys and gals too. Hope you're enjoying your summer!
There's a cool Facebook group called hummingbird whisperer and someone posted a video with about 15 hummingbirds drinking from one feeder. Looked like he figured out how to propagate them, lol.
I always cut the tops off of any annuals I purchase so they can bush out , I put those cuttings into a pot and then I get extra plants within a few weeks. I never even thought that lavender would root in this way!! Thanks for this. Can’t wait to try it🤗☮️☀️
One thing you should do at this stage and that is to snip off the end tip, that will make the plant send out more side shoots, if you leave them at this stage the plant will grow up as a single long stem. Chris B.
Hi Mike, this is exactly how i do my lavender cuttings , apart from i don't use a cloche/ bottle. I live in the uk & sadly we don't have any hummingbirds. They've always fascinated me & anyone who grows plants that feed them or insects/ bees, is alright in my books & doing what we were put on this planet to do. It's lovely that you are spreading the word & showing people how to help beautiful birds & insects. In the uk we have something called the "hummingbird moth" (look it up, u'll be amazed), It's a moth which looks like it has hummingbird attributes ; it has the fast vibrating wings & the long proboscis (inplace of a beak) & it feeds on the flowers in a similar fashion. So currently i'm substituting the moth for the real bird, but i feel very priveledged to have something as lovely that visits the " nectar bar" in my garden. Anyway, keep up the good work & thanks for a great video.
I recently heard from another viewer that there are no hummingbirds in the UK. I never knew this before and that's very interesting to me since they are so common around here. I believe they originate in South America and travel up this way every summer, but there is a variety that stays all winter. It's very curious to me that so many plants and animals have traversed the waters and multiplied throughout the world but the hummingbirds haven't been introduced there yet.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanku for your reply, I'm living in hope that warmer temperatures might bring hummingbirds to our shores one day !( well, there has to be an upside, right? ), in the meantime I've provided a link for you to see the " hummingbird hawk moth" that visits us instead in the uk.
Thanks for the video, I can’t wait until next year to try this, going to set some going tomorrow (uk Manchester) 😁 already got my hydrangeas & roses on the go. Thanks, love your enthusiasm. ☺️
Thanks Mike for mentioning Australia and New Zealand it's a total blessing to know that we are not forgotten because you are my go to gardener, absolutely love you, however I found it hard sometimes to relate regarding seasons and certain plants, but I remembered that you propagated lavender and it's my time now to propagate my lavender to give to friends. Thanks Mike love your work and how simple you make it to understand propagation and the different types of plants and cuttings, thanks ☺🌱😁🙏
So glad you remembered. Yes, it's definitely your time right now. You can root many different plants from softwood cuttings right now. Enjoy your spring!
Thanks for shairing !!!!!! Ill take advantage of this opportunity to share with everyone A rancher in semi desert area in Mexico planted lavander plants all around his property as a barrier to repell scorpions naturally !!!!!! Lavander repells scorpions and also bedbugs amazing plant to have in our yards !!!!! Blessings!!!!
Thank you so much for these videos! I have always had such a hard time getting lavender to germinate but I did have 2 that made actual plants, and now I feel a lot more confident about propagating them!
What a tremendous Encouragement Mike! I had a huge lavender plant (Provencal) and after several years I cut it down because it was too big and encroaching on the path, thinking I could get another. Well it's been 4 years and I finally found another one. It's going great and I didn't know I could propagate it. THANK YOU!
Worked pretty well. By end of winter I think things ran out of nutrients because things got really yellow. Dahlias didn't like the transfer and pretty much died back so hopefully they come back soon because they had 1 inch bulbs.
I love this video and your scientific knowledge put in simple way. I had so many unsuccessful attempts to grow lavender from seed. Going to try your method for sure.
Greetings from Goias, Brazil! Mike I just love lavender, the color, the smell and the beauty of the plant itself. I believe the plant is also a natural repellent against mosquitos and bugs. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your channel very much.
Hey mike Finally, you're answering every single question that comes to ny mind... As you, I love to propagate all kinf of staff... So I will do it a little comercial, to have a goal to reach witth so many plants coming... Niw a thought I have lavender in nt garden in town... And I am moving to the country side in a year, to a wild spot, with no fruit trees, flowers, fruit bushes and so on... But all the plants arr ready in bags and pots. You have been grrat help with experiments, like this and others like Japanese maple graftings (for bonsai and comercial purposes too Count on a free place to stay in Chile any time you want to come
It was kinda funny that the Rooster crowed every time you tried to talk lol. I share ur passion bud...would enjoy shadowing you for a few months and gaining from ur immense knowledge and joy in what you do 😎👍
I loved to watched from the beginning of the show how you prepare those lavander cuttings .. planting them then after many days .. you showed us how they beautifully rooted using the hormone powder .. so interesting that those "little guys" can lived and multiply many more lavander plants .. I love the scent of the Lavander oil .. Thx for sharing Mike .. Cheers
Hiya Mike from Epsom South West London 🇬🇧 I made the cobbler with my son Kieran, huge success! Found a measuring jug with 'cups' on it and used 4ozs of butter for the cube/stick. Only had pineapple rings in the cupboard but tasted great! Kieran couldn't wait to cool it and cut a piece straight away, just like when a kid! He poured double cream over it but would go well with English Custard or ice cream Certainly not a crumble 😂 but everyone enjoyed it so definitely will make again, thank you for passing on the recipe and for all your smashing videos ❤💐
Thanks Mike I tried propagating lavender and rosemary a few yrs ago with no luck. I need to try again. My hydrangea cuttings are coming along good thankful to God. Bless you guys take care
So glad to hear the hydrangeas have been successfull! You can take more lavender cuttings now but they'll take a little longer to root and may need bottom heat.
Hi Mike! Loved your Vid just what I was looking for and couldn't believe you mentioned the Southern hemisphere not once but THREE TIMES! we never get a mention and I am jazzed. I subbed straight away and can't wait to binge watch your vids and share with my friends. Best wishes and happy gardening vibes from Sydney Australia 🏵️🌺❤️☮️🇦🇺🐨🌻🌼
Love you guys! I spent about a week between Perth and Hobart when I was in the Navy back in 2000. Beautiful place and people! Enjoy your spring and summer.
Great, you are a really good gardener...no, you're a professional gardener. Share useful information, my elegance lavender grew up pretty good, thank you so much!
I grew English Lavender & Vera Lavender from seed earlier this year, once those plants become larger, more robust & solidly established I'm going to try growing from the cuttings as you did 🌿🌿🙂.
Oh, I actually stumbled across your video and am thrilled because I, too, want to attract more hummingbirds! They come around all the time and I just want to make certain to keep them coming! Thank you for your video! Great info!
@@MikeKincaid79 , Thank you. I planted 6 today so I will wait patiently for them to do their thing naturally. I have a different variety to the one you show in this video. It flowers all year round. It is called a hooded lavender but it's the proper name that it is called I can't remember right now. White Butterflies and Bees love it too.
thanks for the video Mike. really appreciated the shout out to New Zealand - that was enough to get me going LOL. I plan to take some cuttings from this very stubborn bush on our property that just doesn't want to die. we think it's an old English variety and it fares beautifully. because of those traits, I want to propogate it badly. wish me luck!!! then I plan to spread that variety right around our property. it's going to be quite a project for me but am looking forward to the challenge. cheers:-)
That's exactly what originally got me into plant propagation. Finding a plant I loved and wanting to spread it all over my property for free! Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck to you. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
@@MikeKincaid79 Yes, and I got my sand, the cutting hormones etc. to start my own crop of lavender. Your daughter JMO looks just like you. I watched the wife's chicken video. Love the good advice! barb nevada
Fun video, Mike! Hummingbirds are so beautiful and interesting. I cant remember the name of the plants I have, but the hummingbirds LOVE them. They will have hummingbirds all over them, just like bees do plants! I have ones that have baby blue, deep blue, red, pink, white and lavender flowers. The leaves are green with white spots or splotches, some having long slender leaves and some having wider leaves. They're all beautiful, thats why I have all colors. I have always heard a nickname for them is a boy and girl plant, having blue and pink flowers on the same plant. If you are interested Mike, I will set you up!
Tx bro. Learned so much from you and love your enthusiasm. Watchin all yr videos. On pension now and have time to live out my passion. Big yard but lots pf shade and borehole water. Gonna plant them hydrangeas as well. Love from South Africa 💟
Thanks Mike. I started some cuttings Aug 4th, I used a plastic tote and haven’t been watering. It’s only been a little over 3 weeks since I started mine. I’ll give them a couple more weeks. Perhaps I should add a little water. I’m not as brave at pulling my cuttings out of the soil to check for roots. I did not use sand but a mixer of bark and seed starter mix. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks Mike for sharing such a great video. I love hummingbirds. I collect ceramic and glass hummingbirds. Didn't know they were attracted to lavender.
Haha love it! I have many Lavander too the bees likes too. So easy to germinate the seeds too. Is amazing about this.. I have a pot with 80%of sand and and 20% dirt and the lavander plant looks so awesome than others! Do you know that the smell of lavender repels mosquitoes!? Yes! . . My hummingbirds loves more Lobelia Cardinal Flowers because is so attracted to them so strong color Red . Love to see them at my window ☺

Thank you . You said ' sand' - did I miss a bit or ??? Q, is it potting sand . I am a fan of lavender so the more lavender plants the merrier I will be. Thank from the UK xxx
I, too, am interested in what you used for "sand". I have 7 struggling lavender plants recently purchased from an online nursery. I will need to take cuttings - quickly. What are you using as "sand"? - Thanks in advance.
I have dipladenia's that I came across this past spring and the hummingbirds love them. I have the red ones and they love sun and humidity. You also don't have to deadhead them.
Sorry to hear that, our hummingbirds migrate from Mexico every year and then head back down in the winter. There is a species that stays north but we don't see it often.
Thanks Mike -Just found this shall try it this week. Spring is just starting down under so I have time to do several follow ups till mid summer, Suzann T.
Here's the follow up video: ruclips.net/video/K_eudyRYhrw/видео.html

I didn't even know there was rooting hormone. I have 5 really nice cutting that are growing really nice. I just water them and leave them in the sun.
You put that very beautifully, Kerri!

Awesome! 2 great minds right here.
What do you do over the winter? It gets cold out in the winter here in NW Ohio
@@angiebutterfield3073 I mulch them well and they do fine. I live in zone 6b.
Thanks for mentioning us downunder so we don't have to translate for our location. Love lavender too. Going to give this a go.

Love, love, love lavender! 💕 Can't wait to try this technique next year. Thank you!
You are so welcome, Teresa! I'd love to do a whole pile of these next year.
Ditto! ♡
Mike Kincaid has
@Teresa Hierholzer. Hope you got onto it by now as it has been a year.
I did this based on your other videos! I can't afford all the lavender I want, so this is awesome! Thanks!
You're so welcome! Glad it's working out for you, Gayle.
One thing you should do at this stage and that is to snip off the end tip, that will make the plant send out more side shoots, if you leave them at this stage the plant will grow up as a single long stem. Chris B.
I’ve got multiple videos about this. I like to do it after they root.
Why do you do it after they root?
@@jazzaybuncom8652 I clip the tops after they root merely because it prevents excessive evaporation during rooting. Chris B.
unless you want a single stem . - like to make a little tree.
@@theronwinsby Yes of course, if you need a single stem bush just leave the stem to grow straight up. Chris B.

Hiya Mike from Epsom South West London 🇬🇧
I made the cobbler with my son Kieran, huge success! Found a measuring jug with 'cups' on it and used 4ozs of butter for the cube/stick. Only had pineapple rings in the cupboard but tasted great! Kieran couldn't wait to cool it and cut a piece straight away, just like when a kid!
He poured double cream over it but would go well with English Custard or ice cream Certainly not a crumble 😂 but everyone enjoyed it so definitely will make again, thank you for passing on the recipe and for all your smashing videos ❤💐
So glad you guys enjoyed it, Lee. Definitely not a crumble but a great recipe all by itself. The double cream sounds excellent!
You blow me away! You can root ANYTING!!!

Thank you for sharing this information. I live in Australia and want to grow more of my beautiful Lavender.
Enjoy your spring and good luck with your cuttings!
@@MikeKincaid79 , Thank you. I planted 6 today so I will wait patiently for them to do their thing naturally. I have a different variety to the one you show in this video. It flowers all year round. It is called a hooded lavender but it's the proper name that it is called I can't remember right now. White Butterflies and Bees love it too.
I do this exactly with my rosemary I love the smell of rosemary in my greenhouse and all over the landscape
Yes, great stuff! I did a video about rosemary a few months back.
thanks for the video Mike. really appreciated the shout out to New Zealand - that was enough to get me going LOL. I plan to take some cuttings from this very stubborn bush on our property that just doesn't want to die. we think it's an old English variety and it fares beautifully. because of those traits, I want to propogate it badly.
wish me luck!!! then I plan to spread that variety right around our property. it's going to be quite a project for me but am looking forward to the challenge. cheers:-)
That's exactly what originally got me into plant propagation. Finding a plant I loved and wanting to spread it all over my property for free! Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck to you. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Great presentor you are Mike!
I appreciate that!
@@MikeKincaid79 Yes, and I got my sand, the cutting hormones etc. to start my own crop of lavender. Your daughter JMO looks just like you. I watched the wife's chicken video. Love the good advice! barb nevada
Hi Mike happy New Year to you all. Thanks for keeping us educated always.👍🥂
Happy New Year Harry!
Fun video, Mike! Hummingbirds are so beautiful and interesting. I cant remember the name of the plants I have, but the hummingbirds LOVE them. They will have hummingbirds all over them, just like bees do plants! I have ones that have baby blue, deep blue, red, pink, white and lavender flowers. The leaves are green with white spots or splotches, some having long slender leaves and some having wider leaves. They're all beautiful, thats why I have all colors. I have always heard a nickname for them is a boy and girl plant, having blue and pink flowers on the same plant. If you are interested Mike, I will set you up!
Beautiful, I just looked up the lungwort and it looks beautiful.
@@MikeKincaid79 If you would like some Lungwort for your landscape I will be glad to pot some up for you as soon as I am recouped from my surgery.
Tx bro. Learned so much from you and love your enthusiasm. Watchin all yr videos. On pension now and have time to live out my passion. Big yard but lots pf shade and borehole water. Gonna plant them hydrangeas as well. Love from South Africa 💟
Hey, Laura, glad you're learning a lot and having fun in the garden!
Thanks Mike. I started some cuttings Aug 4th, I used a plastic tote and haven’t been watering. It’s only been a little over 3 weeks since I started mine. I’ll give them a couple more weeks. Perhaps I should add a little water. I’m not as brave at pulling my cuttings out of the soil to check for roots. I did not use sand but a mixer of bark and seed starter mix. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm rooting for you, Margaret!
Mike Kincaid, yep....better put that on a T shirt.
I'm going to propagate so many more things next spring!!
As always, it's going to be an epic spring!
Love this! 💜 And Henry is not a bother. Let him chat away lol
Thanks Mike for sharing such a great video. I love hummingbirds. I collect ceramic and glass hummingbirds. Didn't know they were attracted to lavender.
Yes! I'd love to get more into hummingbirds. I eventually want my front and back porch covered in feeders.
Great video!!!!! I love Lavender!!!!!
Me too! And I love you, ya little sweetheart!!!
I love you too
Super! I am definitely going to do this with Munstead and Hidcote. Thank you so much.

Haha love it! I have many Lavander too the bees likes too. So easy to germinate the seeds too. Is amazing about this.. I have a pot with 80%of sand and and 20% dirt and the lavander plant looks so awesome than others! Do you know that the smell of lavender repels mosquitoes!? Yes! . . My hummingbirds loves more Lobelia Cardinal Flowers because is so attracted to them so strong color Red . Love to see them at my window ☺
Anything that attracts bees and hummingbirds is a good plant in my book!

Thank you . You said ' sand' - did I miss a bit or ??? Q, is it potting sand . I am a fan of lavender so the more lavender plants the merrier I will be. Thank from the UK xxx
I, too, am interested in what you used for "sand". I have 7 struggling lavender plants recently purchased from an online nursery. I will need to take cuttings - quickly. What are you using as "sand"? - Thanks in advance.
I have dipladenia's that I came across this past spring and the hummingbirds love them. I have the red ones and they love sun and humidity. You also don't have to deadhead them.
That's a beautiful flower. I'll have to keep on the lookout for some.
If you come across them and can figure out how to take a cutting and regrow them, I would love to see that.
Thanks, great information. I love propagating plants and I will surely try this come spring. Sheila-Chicago
Have fun!
Thank you for the tips!
Happy to help!
Here in UK lavender is a magnet for bees especially the small dark wild bees!
Yeah, I'm learning that all kinds of beneficial insects are attracted to lavender.
awwww no hummingbirds here in the UK, got a cheeky robin that follows me around ,but the bees like them lovely video as per usuall
Sorry to hear that, our hummingbirds migrate from Mexico every year and then head back down in the winter. There is a species that stays north but we don't see it often.
Good job mike!...
Thanks, Bobby!
Thanks Mike -Just found this shall try it this week. Spring is just starting down under so I have time to do several follow ups till mid summer, Suzann T.
Awesome! I'm a little jealous. Enjoy your spring, it's such a rejuvenating time of year.
