The Secrets of Stem Cuttings Propagation
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Let's talk about how to grow plants from cuttings. Should you score your cuttings? Cut the top of hardwood cuttings on a slant? Use rooting hormone? Here I want to open up about what I've learned in plant propagation - but more importantly, I'd love to take your questions. Give me your best shot... maybe you'll stump me!

Hi from Ireland. If you take a piece of Elder stem and throw it high into the air, by the time it hits the ground it will have grown several roots. True story.

Thanks so much Sylvia - I'm so glad to hear about your endeavors.
Day 3 of loving your channel, Jason! Ppl likely have gotten the idea of slanting the top of a cutting from Arborists. When topping the height of a tree trunk, cutting it on a slant prevents the moisture from sitting/pooling on the cap, therefore preventing the top of the trunk wood from rotting.
Thank you Jason! Excellent info presented so clearly as usual! My plants and I are grateful for your channel :)

Brilliant video,wish l had known all this a long time ago, but will use your knowledge now. For some reason we do not get this sort of info here in the UK.
Funny!... the mnemonic I learned for telling up from down on cuttings using slanted and straight cuts was to slant the bottom (the part closest to the root) and cut the top straight - the idea being that the slant indicated something pointy that would be poked into the rooting mix. I am sure it makes no difference, so long as it is consistent and one remembers the protocol.
Thank you for this video that was packed full of helpful information. I hope you don’t mind that I have more questions. How long will it take for cuttings of herbs like rosemary, oregano, thyme take to grow? How about raspberry? Thank you 🙏🏼

Great video, i tried propagating roses but failed,, learned a lot from your videos.
I learned a long time ago, that if you place a cutting in a jar or vase with water and willow cuttings, the willow hormones will act as a rooting hormone. Where I grew up, there was not such thing as rooting hormones, so, serious gardeners always had a willow by their water spout for propagation purposes and it was common practice
Thats perfect!
I love are cuttings that used growth hormone safe for human consumption (eg :rosemary). wonderful lessons.

slanted cuts are for the tropics on fruit trees to limit the standing water on the end of the sheets and thus limiting the spread of bacterial diseases like phytophthora.

You rock. Free plants if you have patience and pay attention
Jason you missed this but hopefully you've mentioned it more recently- one of biggest advantages of using liquid hormone is ability to dilute it to suit your current need (plant species and time of year etc. )One concentrated liquid IBA product can be diluted tomake 1,000 or 4,000 or 10,000ppm or whatever you wish. With powders you're pretty much stuck with the strength it comes.
Thanks for the knowledge Jason. Roses continue to be my biggest challenge by far. I have propogate figs and couoke of other plants successfully but not roses yet. I became hobby Gardner just before winter. With rose I find myself too afraid that cutting may dry out in cup so I keep spraying with water over the cuttings (just a couple of sprays) almost daily and all stems have rotted so far even though soil doesn't look terribly wet. I have no clue how you get them to root
@FraserValleyRoseFarm
5 жыл бұрын
Managing humidity and air circulation was my first big lesson in propagating roses. I started out indoors, and did the cuttings under a high clear plastic dome. Low success because of the poor air circulation. A couple of sprays a day certainly doesn't sound excessive - unless the air circulation is poor, and the cuttings spend too long with standing water. Also, check how deep you're sticking - the more stem below the soil line, the more chance of rot. I only put nine down by about 3 or 4 cm, enough to keep the cutting upright in the pot. I hope that helps, and best luck. You'll get it.
@elsagrace3893

You can add about 40% vermiculite to your soil for better drainage. A high amount of peat in the soil will go soggy with daily sprays from my experience. Also my cuttings are outdoors under a plastic sheet so there is air circulation when the wind blows. When I have reported my cuttings I’ve been kind of appalled at the soil mixes I’ve grown them in. Too rich a soil is not good (compost) and normal dirt isn’t good (too compact). Check your soil before you discard your failed and also your successful cuttings.

Hi Macide. Late spring (June here) as the roses go into full bloom - that way I have plenty of semi-hardwood stem to work with, and it's not so hot as to cause difficulty with my timed mist. Which roses are easy to root? It varies a lot - I found landscape roses like Bonica are easy, Sally Holmes is a breeze, Super Dorothy, Fellowship, etc. I've had a bit more trouble with old garden roses (Gallicas in particular) and even some rugosas.

I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your presentations very much, thanks. I've started some camellia semi-hardwood cuttings in mid-Nov and have them indoors under a plastic cover. Used powder rooting hormone. Temps are probably in the high 50s/up to mid-60s. My instinct is to leave them alone until spring. Do you have any suggestions or guidance, please? Thanks again.

I've tried plenty of ways to root cuttings and I called this nursery that Martha Stewart went to check their roses. And the lady who started the business there told me she got her method from her grandmother putting cuttings in her yard and covering them with mason jars. This is how I finally got the method that works and watching your method of spraying them with a misting of water gave me another idea that also works. I've rooted with covering with a glass dome and I've actually just trimmed the bottom and dipped in rooting powder and laid them on a table so the powder attaches more firmly before putting a hole in the potting mix with a stick or thick straw. I trim off the flower but leave most of the leafs and I dont cut the rose cuttings down to size at all. I know everyone says to keep your knife or whatever you use to trim your cuttings steril but I never have. And since using these methods no mold or issues.

My best success is usually late spring/early summer and then again in September or so, when it cools a bit.

@FraserValleyRoseFarm
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Kay. Yes, soil definitely makes a difference. 1) Garden soil and compost tend to come with a lot of microbes - and some of those microbes can be plant pathogens under the right circumstances. Professional propagators found that moving over to a relatively "clean" potting mix improved success by quite a bit. What fits the bills as "clean"? Sand, perlite, vermiculite, peat moss, coir, composted bark (and other forestry products), rockwool, oasis foam, etc. 2) don't mix fertilizer in the initial propagation mix. The salts may pull moisture from the cuttings. 3) Other than that, just make sure it's freely draining so that you can manage the moisture properly. There are loads of propagation mixes available (many of them are peat and perlite) but you can succeed with a wide variety of substrates if you keep moisture levels under control.

There are different methods for plants that propagate well by division, root or leaf cuttings. For stem cuttings, you can choose softwood (fresh growth, this year), semi-hardwood (somewhat ripened growth from the same year) or hardwood (fully hardened off growth from the same year of previous years). I like semi-hardwood best, and I take most of my cuttings in late spring/early summer.
