Hi Mike I've always had very good luck growing roses (well and plants in general) but now I can give rose plants to my neighborhood!! Question on your potting medium - what are you using and do you advise against any other medium. Thanks so much! Vanessa

Bit dramatic!!

how many weeks average do they take before showing any growth.

Could you use this method on any tree and any size cutting including the entire base of a 10-inch diameter tree trunk and all the XL branches??? My neighbor says he will be forced to cut down 2 12-15' tall Aspen trees and transplanting the enrire tree is way too risky and $$$$$ for me.

I’m trying this at this time. I have 8 cuttings in the cups…I used straight course sand for 4 of them and a mix of peat and perlite for the other 4. All growing conditions, etc., are the same for both groups. They are now into the second week and leave are still green and healthy looking….it will be interesting to see the results.

Almost every backyard grower that I see on CZcams uses some type of shade cloth for their seedlings to reduce the temperature. I noticed you never do and I’m wondering if it’s because you live in a zone that doesn’t get that hot or if you found a way around it or maybe because of the plants youpropagate the heat in the bright sunshine doesn’t bother them as much just curious. The sun kills everything I try to propagate unless I shade it so I’m just wondering.

Mike, if you see this... I'm on a really low budget and just have some miracle gro and Epsom salt. What would you use as a ratio per gallon for outside potted plants? I'm using 10 gallon pots for a large fast growing sub tropical Andean mountain species of cactus that I keep outside mid April to October.

How do you start off cuttings

Could be shorter vid and less redundamt

Hi Mike, that place is amazing, where is located? Greetings from Portland Oregon!

What do I do if I don't have rooting powder? Maryann from Calif

Welcome back Mike! Ypu were missed. Your garden tour made me so envious since I can grow Rhodes in Southern Cal zone 10A. Thanks to you I have growing roses from cuttings. Will be trying petunias next. Looking forward to an update on your house when you are ready. Wishing all of the best to you and your family!

Mike would this 3 cup system work the same way with azaleas,

Epsom Salt uses are nothing but old wives tales and myths

What type of soil are you using? I hear bark. New at gardening.

What are the materials used? The tapes?

Love it 🙏

Did you water these every day?

Hi Mike, I hope you're having a productive Spring so far! I'm not sure where the transcript went, but there is no text showing when I click on it. I'm a subscriber and my laptop speakers have gone all crazy with static, so I like to read the transcript while I'm watching with the sound turned off. If that's something you are able to reinstate, I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you.

I have question. After starting them. How do you care for them in winter when we don't have a greenhouse?

Wow 👍that is so cool thanks for the video friends 😻👍

I’d recommend black cloth tree mulch rings. That straw can reflect sun and heat whereas black cloth will heat that soil up like they want

You can also pull the tube off the intake and stick a propane torch in there and it will fire right up. Or if your neer the house you can use your old ladys electric hair dryer if you dont mind her bitching about you using it 😂

Take a elctric heating pad for your back and put it up against the oil pan and hold it in place with a couple old speaker magnets . Put the pad on high and plug it in over night and she should fire up

What to do with Mealybugs in plant that has no reaction to soap water

If you want to keep your figs in planters forever, what should someone do to the root system so they can keep it from becoming root bound? Thank you!

What type potting medium inert bark ? for fig cutting rooting ?

what environment can I leave them in? I don't have the greenhouse that you're in. How can I best simulate that on a smaller basis?

Thanks so so much for the long teaching video! Two questions here, how long do I need to transplant them from the propagation to the land of my yard? And how long time do I need to cover those cuts for moisture? I started my propagations probably at the early of April here and they already sprout a lot 😅😅 I’m thinking if I could open the cover before the hot summer coming and let them get fresh air. Ofc I will do just like what you did, open the lid bit by bit. 🎉🎉

Could I use a regular 12 oz water bottle? For just a single stem

What do you dip them in?

Coco coir does not always work, some has too much sodium and the quality varies quite a lot. It can root cuttings but once the root comes out they may struggle to absorb nutrients as the coco coir can’t hold any of much nutrients because of the salts. My favourite is pine bark fines - it’s quite similar to a 50/50 mix of peat and perlite - holds moisture but allow air to flow through. It is also slightly acidic (ph ~5), and many journals that you can google suggest lower medium ph helps in rooting of cuttings.

You know what?? Adiós, l like!!!.

I followed your rose video and had great results! I do have a question though. One of my cuttings has a bud on the top, not big, but do I leave it or snip it off. Thank you for all of your videos and now to start some hydrangeas

I grew up in the 1950s and walked to school along a sidewalk lined with gorgeous American dogwoods, pink and white. Sadly, many American dogwoods succumbed to a blight during the past 30+ years, and garden centers only carried Kousa dogwoods -- not a very pretty species, imo. Anyway, there are still some traditional American dogwoods extant, and I spied two of them, a white and a spectacular pink (like old pink brick in color, not the gaudy pink of today), outside a store that has been closed since 2019. I took a small branch from each tree, and will follow the excellent directions in this video so I can propagate the two magnificent dogwoods. Wish me luck!

Thanks, Mike. Useful information.

Can the shoots that have the berries be used?

Time for planting suckers!

Hi Mike I love my rhodies but need some advise. I have a row of "Roseum Elegans" growing under my livingroom window and would like to have them grow up to the bottom of the window. Problem is that they appear to be spreading sideways instead of up. Would love to send you a picture so you can see what I'm talking about and advise.

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.

You can water the medium before you put it in the cup and you won’t need to water after and won’t need to make holes and you won’t need the third cup, you will save a cup and the hormone won’t wash off ;)

Thanks you for your helpful advices on planting roses tails, are so helpful for lovers roses!

Mike, can you propagate gardenias in your 3 cup system? I’ve been using that system for my hydrangeas and I would like to propagate my gardenias with a 3 cup system worked.?

I cut them in the spring and put them straight into the ground and they grow right away with no issues. It's very rainy here in Vancouver, BC so this may be why.

I lost a lot of cuttings in my Nearing frame because they dried out over the winter. I have purchased 2 separate moisture meters but they quit working after a short time even though I follow the directions about caring for the tip after each use. Any suggestions about watering rhodi cuttings in the Nearing frame, since it is not really a closed unit? Thanks for all your good teaching.

How much epsom salt to put?

A lil too fast

mulberries propagate so easily theyre awesome. i literally just stick the branches that i trim off the tree into the ground and keep the soil moist for a few weeks and they start growing
