For stems which are slightly more prone to snapping my cheeky trick is to knick the sides (of the pots) so that they can go more or less straight through and I don't have to bend them so much over the top of the pots.

Hi Stephen & Matt Great method of producing more plants at a minimum of Fuss!! Thanks again for sharing ur great ideas guys Happy gardening 🌸👍

Love your videos. Only discovered them 2 days ago. About the kniphofia, ;-)😂 the k isn't silent. The plant is named after Herr Johann Hieronymus Kniphof, in the C18. I had to Google it 😂. The o in hof is short as in dot. Thanks for your lovely videos. I've sent a link to a friend who loves plants and anything to do with them. From the south of the UK, all the best.

What is that cute five-lobed vine growing with the 'Rosado Fuerte' Lapageria at the beginning of the video?

Lovely video, thank you. I have a question: can this technique work with really young unripe wood? Its midsummer here, and i would really like to give serpentine layering a go with my just recently bought pink star jasmine, but the suitable shoots are very green. Would they rot if i layer them now, or should i wait for the fall? I think keeping them moist should not be a huge problem - i have daily irrigation, and they would be in a shady spot. (Im in Willamette Valley in OR)

Trachelospermum yunnanense is a synonym of Trachelospermum bodinieri

The thumbnail abbreviation in my shorts recommendations is interesting to say the least

How can I get rid of oxalis? Richmond Victoria

Snazzy, hi comrades, how hard do you think it would be to grow chiranthodendron from cuttings?

Hello and thanks for this amazing video, im originally from chile but i live and Canada, my girlfriend and i, we are looking everywhere on Internet and nothing, Do You have a place you can recommend to get seeds on internet ? please that will be very appreciated, thank you so much !

Hi Stephen - I am keen to grow an Amelanchier but I’m worried it may be susceptible to pear & cheery slug ( I get A LOT of it) can you suggest an alternative small tree? Must be frost and drought tolerant. I am in the Southern Midlands of Tasmania. Thanks

Lovely video. I visited 2 years ago and much of what you said resonated and makes me want to go back asap!

I, too, have wondered about the honey being hallucinogenic. 🤔

Thank you for the information. I hope to try this method of propagation.

Stephen, I ordered a Boston Ivy online from Denmark in the early winter of 2023 and planted it in my garden in the mountains of Crete soon after. It's planted near the trunk of a four-year-old Mulberry tree so not much direct sun. It took well but the leaves look much smaller than I was expecting. I don't know if I should expect the leaves to get bigger as it establishes or was I sent a miniature variety? My Virginia Creeper also starts with smaller leaves that get bigger over time but the Boston Ivy looks stunted.

I found this really interesting . I have 2 climbers/ vines that I just cannot propagate for friends The chocolate flower vine ( akebia) and the white boumontia . I presume I could try this method with Them? Any particular preference tome for taking those cuttings ? Sydney here

Great video. Very informative & helpful. Thanks.

I now know why I haven't had success with this method: I haven't been burying the stems deep enough. Thank you!!

Fascinating episode, thank you both. Question : when can I cut down my tree dahlia that’s looking decidedly drab but still towers 3 mt into the sky? I’m on the surf coast, 4 kms inland.

This was an amazing video thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us.

Thank you for this informative video.

My front yard is currently undergoing a zonal denial, or maybe my plants have forgotten which hemisphere they are in. My supposed to be dormant capsicum plants are growing large healthy fruit, and I found a stray potato grew a sneaky plant that I found and pulled out for it being in the wrong season which brought with it a full load of large healthy ready to harvest potatoes. It's the middle of winter and my front garden is giving me summer crop veggies. Maybe it's not zonal denial so much as seasonal denial. Is seasonal denial a thing, or is it just my front yard? Nothing in my back yard is confused about the time of year, just the front yard.

Excellent show, thanks guys

Hello - Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have a confederate jasmine in a container & I would like to try this method of propogation in a few months. I'm in U.S. zone 8, Washington state. Since it's summer here, the jasmine is still blooming and smells so wonderful.

Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱😁

Root them green in 4 days in water.

That explains what is happening to the Hebe on my driveway! Thankyou.

So how many seasons do you think we get?

Thanks!

Thank you for an extremely informative and interesting video. Love your channel.

Poor frogs.... tipping out their wriggling food.

Great video as usual. There are actually several tree ferns native to the freeze-free parts of China, such as Alsophila spinulosa, but they are little known in the west. These are found as far north and inland as Sichuan.

You guys are making very interesting videos and are charming also.

Thanks Stephen & Matt really natural island but my favourite the pink geranium glad u got to find the ruckus in fruit how exciting for u bet that made ur day Stephen I'll also look up utube the monte palace T garden to view it in more detail Thanks Guys Happy gardening 🌸

I'd LOVE to see a video about our quarantine system and how it all works, that would be fascinating. Love your videos because I'm either learning information I actually want to learn, I'm vicariously visiting parts of the world I'll never get to see myself, and often discovering delightful plants I didn't know existed. The only problem is that I have now watched every video you have released, some of them more than once, and now I just have to wait for Fridays, which has made Friday the day of the week I most look forward to.

Oh my😮 your video just popped on my screen !! As I’ve just been reminiscing about my past. I was in Madeira in 1958 with my parents on our way to Australia from Finland !! I was only 10 but I remember getting off the Ship 🚢 & some one gave my sister & I a special shaped Straw Hat, alas I no longer have it! I know this is nothing to do with ‘plants’ but this meant something special to me at this moment ❤

We grow Vaccinium padifolium here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. It's quite a prolific fruiter!

The whole earth was watered with a mist and dew prior to the first rain and flood in the known world where men and animals had the breath of life breathed into their nostrils during the time of Noah. I'm only halfway through the video and would like to thank you for showing other parts of the world, got to love the Internet, so thank you once again.

I really enjoyed that video and Stephen's insights. Thank you for the honourable mention vis-à-vis the orchid nursery. I look forward to your video on plant importation and sanitary considerations.

Always learning a lot from you. Thanks for another interesting video!Also looking forward to the one on quarantine. As a European (mainland) I have heard a bit about the Australian strict quarantine but hardly know anything about it.

There is a YT channel called Ethereal Light Photography who recently vlogged their 110km multi-day trek across the island of Madeira. It looks their route was very rugged and quite varied.

I still haven't figured out if I watch your films for the plants or the unique commentary. But I love it.

Great video! I read that there had been a huge fire that had destroyed most trees on Madeira so that when Darwin visited they smelt the island from 10 miles away because of the subsequent enormous bloom of freesias.

Thanks for the videos here from the USA.

How can I get a red trumpet?

What beautiful gardens. I want to go there!

I grew up the southern Appalachians and Piedmont region, and I have been obsessed with Erythronium umbilicatum ever since I first stumbled across a patch of them as a kid. Although I don’t think I can get that particular species here in Australia, I am very pleased that I can get at least get hold of some of the other species of this genus and grow them here. Jane will definitely be hearing from me in January! Now if I can just find a wild-type mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia)!

Hi! Friends.

hardenbergia it covers a lot of sins lol
