I came for the instruction. I stayed for the warmth. Blessings on your family.
Awesome! Thank you! Blessings to you, too!
@@homesteadingatkookergehoft8131 That baby is adorable...I love rose of sharon trying to find double flowering in pink..my friend had 2 she said they didn't seed...I thought all plants had seeds.
Please don't pay attention to negative comments. Those people had a choice to move on to a different video. Thanks for sharing knowledge and taking time to upload the video
Enjoy those one year old conversations, too soon they grow up and move out! I miss those conversations! Thank you for your tips, I learned a lot, thanks hugs and love from Texas.
That little one just stole my heart.
I never tried it this way. But I have propogated rose of sharon successfully by soaking the stems in willow tea and then sticking the cuttings right into the ground. I got a success rate of about 98 out of 100 cuttings and a beautiful hedge. We built a new homestead on a new property and im starting this all over again. Thanks for sharing your method. I might try both ways.
I am wanting to do willow tea now that I've discovered some willow on our property. Maybe it will work on our vitex/chaste trees, as this water method doesn't seem to work on them.
@@homesteadingatkookergehoft8131 I hope it will work out!
can you tell us how do you make a willow tea?
Thank you. I tried your method and had success. The difference was in changing water daily. And when cutting, put them in water immediately. Thanks!
Thanks for the easy instructions a friend has a "rose of Sharon" plant that i really love. ive been wanting to buy one for over a year now. But haven't been able to find a place that carried them So thanks for showing me how i can easily get a few ROS plants completely free 😊
Thank you for this video, I didn't know they rooted easily and it was particularly helpful to learn that the oxygen in the water dissipates, now you have said it, it seems obvious. I have some cuttings in water and am going over to change the water now - and apologise to them : ) I also didn't know about the darker glass being preferable so, thanks again.
You are very welcome! Thanks for visiting and for the kind feedback!
OMG you kid is so cute!! He reminds me so much of my son when he was that age (he's 2 now). He would say "up down" all the time and loved to close the dishwasher... usually while we were trying to fill it!
Great memories!
Bye doll. I like this way. Easy Im going to try it.
Love the info about rooting and keeping water fresh so for oxygen Rose of Sharon cuttings need. Thanks.
Thank you for posting this. I’m going to propagate my rose of Sharon hedges today to fill out my property line, eventually. I’ve had great success this year propagating my weeping willow tree for me and my brother to plant new trees.
How do you propagate the weeping willow?
Thanks for the video. The process was clearly explained and very helpful.
I enjoyed watching, very entertaining especially your baby boy, thanks for sharing❤️
I put my cuttings in water 3 of them and its been 3 weeks and no roots yet but its growing little leaf's on top and planted 5 on soil and peat moss with rotting hormone and all 5 are growing leafs thanks for the tip
So you use rooting hormone I have some Andy window with rooting hormone I have some without rooting hormone
Ive been doing mine like this and have had on and off luck. I’m gonna try doing an amber glass or darker cup, I’ve typically done mine in mason jars. I knew I was supposed to change the water and typically did twice a week or we’ll tried to but now I know why and will try to be more on top of it!! Also your son is adorable!!
That little guy is sooo cute. Thanks for the video.
Aww, thanks.
Thank you for the information very helpful. I will pick from the main stem of the rose of my choosing. You are very informative and clearly spoken was very easy to understand you. Love your Son, he is so precious.
Thank you! Good luck!
thank you so much for this. I've been trying to find the easiest way possible. thank you
Cute little helper!
Thanks! It's hard to believe he's almost 4 now...
enjoyed your video, and your little one is adorable! Thank you for your information about the rose of Sharon!! so excited to get some starters off mime for christmas presents for my kids.xo
I have so many rose of Sharon's.. They're everywhere on one side of my yard. They just propagate themselves. They're even in my neighbor's yard. They're all over my neighborhood. When i first moved into my house there was 10 Bushes side by side and they were about 14ft tall and super bushy. At one point i guess they were popular for everyone to have that they have taken over.
He's so darn cute. Subscribed
Great video! Subbed! Thank you!
Wonderful ♡♡
All mine but Helene have babies next to mom . :) I love the lil one, up down, and telling us more info lol. Doll baby.
I really got the information
I needed thanks for taking to explain to the rest of us
THANKS AGAIN
You bet!
Stick them in aquarium filter if you have an hob filter no water changes 😎👍
Just moved to Ohio and live the rose I'd sharon tree at my new home.thanks for the video
Your son is so precious. Just a little toddler. Time fly’s...smh; my son will turn 8 this fall...feels like I just gave birth to him. Xoxo
Thanks! It's hard to believe Malachi is almost 3 now. I hope you are getting some good pics of your son to capture the memories. :0)
Very helpful! Thank you! 🌺
Nice video
Thanks for sharing
Love you and your video
Like from India
Great video! Your son is so cute by the way!!
Thank you so much!
Very helpful and informative
Good info. Ihave 3 different kind. Great looking kid.
Awesome! Thank you!
My hen and chickens stay outside all year long in Michigan...
very good didn t know about oxygen also others say not in direct sunlight your obviously works
Loved your video! I know the video is a little old but if you see this, do you remember about how old the roots were at 3:00?
L.p.?
Thank you so much! I learned so much.
First off if you people don't like her boy then DON'T BLEEPING WATCH then !!
Now back to my comment. I have been doing your method for about a month now and I dipped the stems in rooting hormone when I did put them in water. I change the water religiously about every 2-3 days with well water. How long does it take to get the roots long enough to be able to plant ? As I said before, I have been doing about a month now and I have a lot of rootlets but none big enough to really plant. Any help ? Thank you
I think it took mine a few months to develop roots long enough for me to feel comfortable planting them. Since you used rooting hormone to start, it may shave off some waiting time for ya. Either way, if you have root bumps or rootlets, I would say keep at it, 'cause it's working and will get there eventually. :0)
Thank you Maam
And oh yes....this is a thank you from a person who appreciates you making this video. ;)
@@Sondan1988 do you think it would work with hardwood cuttings?
@@bobsmith-ud9xi I think it would be I would take the clippings from the new 'soft' part of the hardwood. When I have done stuff like you are saying, I try getting the newest part of the tree that is still pliable, not the part where the wood has actually become stiff and hardened. I hope that make sense ?? LOL
@@bobsmith-ud9xi I have had luck with the newest growth (mostly green) and put it in a glass with a sandwhich bag covering it but not air tight. Helps prevent wilting and the leaves from dying off.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I have been wanting to take clippings from my rose of Sharon but wasn't sure how.
How long did you wait to plant it out doors after potting it?
Thanks again for the information
Glad it was helpful! I think it's actually better to plant them sooner rather than later, but they can be held over the winter in pots indoors if that's how the timing turns out.
@@homesteadingatkookergehoft8131 I am in Eastern Oklahoma so we'll see how soon mine start to root! 😊 Thanks again for sharing I'll let you know how well it works out for me!
I have around 35 of them as sticks no leaf. With a little root stimulator. It's a experiment . Let's see what happens.
Hi Jonathan did this work for you?
those roots at 3:00 are spectacular! is that straight water?
Yes, just plain tap water.
I took some a while back from the newer growth and they're rooting well in water :3. Haven't had luck with the older wood. Also covered with a plastic baggy to prevent wilting and up the humidity :D.
Does it matter if I am using municipal water which has chlorine added? I always wonder how that is affecting my plants. Loved the video. Very well explained!
I use municipal water for my cuttings. The chlorine probably helps keep down the bacterial load for a little longer than filtered water. One guy commented he adds hydrogen peroxide to his cutting water with great success.
DOu think .. it would b a good idea 2 put a little sprinkle of pottin mix in water ?
Once you put potting mix in, it's much more difficult to clean the stems and change the water. I would wait until there are good roots, then you could change the water one last time and add potting soil to slowly transition it to soil only.
what time of year did you do this?
I know this is an old video but am hoping you will see this. What if I have city water? Will the chlorine hurt the plants?
Our water is city water with chlorine, too. Though I'm not a fan of chlorine in our drinking water, it probably helps keep bacteria down during this process rooting cuttings. So, I don't see it as a problem. Thanks!
I appreciate it!! Thanks!
Help! I didn’t watch this before I got my cuttings. I had some of the woody area but cut it off to a shorter branch at a node. Had them in water. They were starting to root and then started to rot. I am trying to save the cuttings I took so I put them in soil with myco plus. Any additional advice?
I live in Michigan and I was wondering if it was to late now?
Your boy is saying feed me now momma!!
Getting started on homesteading Yeah, he says that a lot, LOL.

Should I put some Miracle Grow in water. Also, warm or cold water?
MY grandma would allow her JADE sit in back room till it got cold about 34 or 35 outside for awhile then bring it back in a water and it would BLOOM so did the christmas catus and the like .
Hi
Thank you so much for the information..
Now do I put the cuttings a sunny window ir in a dark one ?
I put mine in a sunny window. The key is to switch out the water 2-3 times a week so algae and mold don't grow too much.
What time of year should I try your technique? I have a long beautiful row between my neighbors house and mine and very much enjoy the beauty and privacy of these fragrant flowers. I want to start another row at the back of my property.
Any time works. I've taken the cuttings at various times of the year with success. I would try now. If for some reason it doesn't work, you can try again in the spring. I hope it goes well for ya!
Not sure I understand how to get a cutting from the main stem. Could you clarify where you took your cuttings from? Thanks. Very helpful.
I made a video on Monday just for your question. I hope to have it posted this week. :0)
What’s the link to that video? We have a very healthy and mature RoS that we’d like to replicate in a corner of our yard.
Do you start this process in the fall.. put them in pots in the house through the winter and plant them outside in the spring?
You certainly could. I've done it at various times of the year with success. My favorite time is cuttings in spring, pot up once rooted, then plant in early fall to give some time to get a bit established before cold weather (remember, though, I live in Texas where our coldest months are usually January - March).
Rose of sharon is a non native invasive species. Just look at all those seedlings every year
It's not invasive here, as it takes effort to get one to survive the first few years. And I've never seen seedlings pop up around any Rose of Sharon bushes in Texas. Maybe it's different in your neck of the woods, though.
Did you use any rooting hormone on the cuttings/in the water?
No rooting hormones with this method. Only fresh water. Not all plants grow roots this way, but Rose of Sharon and even roses do well with this method.
❤
What month did you take the cuttings ?
I just took some cuttings about a week ago, but I've taken Rose of Sharon cuttings anywhere from spring to fall.
I have never been able to propagate anyting I wish you would like answer the question because there is a Rose of Sharon that I pass by every day and I've been taking clippings from it I would like to have this Rose of Sharon at least three of them in my yard
Sorry, I'm confused. What question have I missed?
about how long does it take to root
Usually 4-6 weeks.
Thanks for this info this is what I needed to know
She should be making videos about her baby I mean she just as slow as drawn out and she's focused on her baby when we are actually focused on rooting Rose of Sharon
Enjoyed the information on growing the plant but unfortunately the child was a distraction. You needed to put hubby baby sitting while recording it.
Wow, Really???
This video could have been accomplished in about half the time it took, had you stayed on topic. Your son is cute, but we've all got cute kids of our own.
Thanks for the feedback.
bvalenzano1 not every body has kids nice touch to me
I know it's been a while since this original comment, or "feedback" lol, was given, but I'm just now watching the video and wanted to add that I appreciated all the info and I especially liked the adorable distractions! Its surprising to me how many people find it so easy to ignore them. Priorities!
No we do not - keep scrolling or read an article. Having that cute boy added to the charm of the video.
Too much talk and waisting your time with the baby I will not finished the video.
By then😂
Should be titled “propagating on the ANNOYING". People tuned in to watch the propagating technique not to watch your child,or listen to the constant, distraction in the background. It’s okay if the video is about child rearing. Next time cut the umbilical cord and do the video when he’s napping.
MonCher I agree it was very distracting and I don’t have tons of time to watch videos to get tips on projects I’m thinking about doing. I didn’t watch the whole video either. I don’t find it conducive to learning anything with all that noise in the background.
Maybe re- title this vid :" A 12 minute meandering stream of conscious chat about growing root buds on Rose of Sharon cuttings in water with many many family distractions "....at least people won't expect the impossible from you then (like an actual propagation video.) Watch this video for an excellent example : czcams.com/video/WyXSNzywqvw/video.html
You're time was much better spent listening to her "meandering" than it was spewing your bad energy onto others by typing out a rude comment.
@@micahdougan well said 👏🏻
Those are some hairy arms.
Soooo what??? My gosh now a days people judge to much each other’s then enjoy your self or about a good video don’t throw out poison or go somewhere else
