  • Why am I getting mold on my cuttings? Why are they rotting in my propagation frame? Why are my cuttings drooping? Why do my cuttings keep dying? I do everything you're doing in the videos. I get this question all the time and there are 3 main reasons that you are mould and rot in your plant propagation frame or plastic tote.
    In this video, I go into depth explaining the 3 problems and what you can do to solve them.

    Finally, someone answered the million dollar question about mold. This was so helpful. I watched so many videos, none were as informative as this. Not one of the other videos addressed the "how to avoid mold" question.

      Mulch is rotted wood. That is where the mold usually comes from. Container covers keeping the leaves constantly wet introduces mold. Pot bottoms soaking in water introduces mold.

    I wish I had watched this video before I began trying to propagate cuttings. Would've saved me so much stress and heartache. Thank you! I love that you covered the part about heat/sunlight too. For anyone reading this comment, check out his video on cutting propagation mediums and his video on using sand to propagate cuttings. SO helpful!

    Finally after several attempts I managed to get three out of 5 petunia cuttings to root. I added sand to my potting soil, very lightly watered. Then I put the pot with the cuttings in it inside a gallon size ziplock bag and set it on a window sill of a south facing window. It took a couple weeks but it worked. Working on some climbing rose and arborvitae cuttings now. Thanks for all your guidance!

    Now my cutting is there for one week and rest 3 weeks I'll follow ur 3 rules as I was skeptical about air circulation and how to give them and now u gave me that answer
    If my cutting is successful it's only because of ur teaching thank u once again!!!!!
