- Alright, so I'm not perfect either! I made a big mistake while propagating these little rooted cuttings and hopefully you guys can learn something from this. My first attempt at propagating softwood cuttings of dogwood trees. Also propagating softwood cuttings of rose of sharon, weigela, climbing hydrangea, and spirea. Enjoy!

The best part about your videos is that you don't make us wait to see the results. Thanks for doing that for us newbies at propagating.
My pleasure!
I love how unpretentious you are about propagation.. you make it really easy.. and not so frightening to have a go. Thank you
Thanks Giselle! That's what I'm here for.
agreed.
Really love your common sense approach to planting medium and sterilisation, Mike. I've been successfully propagating plants in my own garden for over half a century, and have never bothered about such things. Great videos - keep up the good work!
Thanks Andrew!
I’d love to see a video of you breaking down when the best time to do various cuttings, for success, which species are better to grow from seed, which ones are better to air layer, graft, hardwood, soft wood or semi hardwood, when/which to cover, which and when to use a heat mat etc.
I could put something like that together. Might be a long video. I'll put some thought into it.
I liked this video because he was totally honest. Shared what the mistake was and what he was doing to save some of them. That is what life is like. God Bless him.
Thanks, Charlie, I try to give it to you straight.
I dug up a wild rose by a railroad track and have given hundreds of cuttings to others. This rose will survive anything. Thanks for a good presentation. I use heating pads for cheap heat mats.
Thanks for watching, Kathy!
montauk rose perchance ;0?
I am a propagating freak. I love your channel.
Awesome! Thanks for hanging out here!
Ive watched all your videos and I'm going to start taking cuttings next week and have a go! So excited! 😍 Love how you explain everything so well!
Glad to inspire and help you out. Thanks for watching the videos, Dionne!
I recently found your information CZcams......ahhhh yeah it’s going to be a problem here, I need more space😂😂😂! Last year I was successful in probating two red currant bushes, now I want to try other things !!!! Yupper hoping to buy the field, and area surrounding my 1/4 acre, I love how passionate you are😉♥️! Thank you thank you!
Sounds like fun, Annie! More space is always better. Never enough though, LOL. I'd love to have 100 acres!
I'm glad I found your CZcams channel! I love gardening! 😀
I'm glad too!
That intro had me fired up. YEAHHH Mike!😁🍁
Mike you are great at presenting this material - well done !
I appreciate the uplifting comment, Matthew!
You really are. I agree.
At last a person who speaks straight GT GT information and update thanks for your time 🐞🐦👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Graham!
Hello from Ireland. Great work your doing .I'm going to start doing some of that. I've got the bug now .my wife will not be to pleased . I will blame you. Ha ha.
She'll appreciate the flowers.
thanks for all of your videos, I have started propagating because of you and it is so exciting!!!! Great channel.
Now that's just awesome, Shannon! Glad to have an impact on you. Thanks for watching.
Too funny opening comment. I love it. Gardening sometimes feels like a disease with its own natural cure.
Exactly!
The reason I guess it's end up not really cooked because the surrounding temperature was very hot in summer, so that the temp difference was actually not very high. Remember,you mentioned 10 degrees' different is best for rooting.
I like your videos, it's inspirational.❤
If fun is propagating I'd be right there helping you guys, that's my kind of fun too.
You're welcome to join in, Shelly!
You had me at the opening sentence 🥳
That's what it's all about!
Hey, you kept me interested the entire video... great information! I do a lot of propagating for one of my jobs...
Glad to entertain! Thanks for hanging out here with us and being a part of the family!
Thanks Mike! I never knew that dot was there.
You're welcome, Amy!
I like your style! I've learned a lot today!
Thanks Barbara, enjoy the videos!
Love your channel and hoping to propagate my dogwood berries this fall in my fridge.
?
@@MikeKincaid79 oh my goodness. I have no idea how that happened. Love your channel Mike!! Truly one of my favorite go to’s and look forward to all your growing updates. I have a container of propagation hydrangeas in my basement all because of your channel and they are doing great. Sorry about the above letters.
I’m going to edit it right now!!
I'm gonna do it mike!!! Thanks for the awesome video
You can do it!
@@MikeKincaid79 oh yea dude I already know, your videos gave me a TON of confidence and I'm feeling super good about doing it and the results. Feels like a whole new world has opened up for me. I found 3 incredible clematis an old neighbor who died I used to like a lot had and have some cuttings of going now. It's on baby I have hundreds of attempts going. Incredibly satisfying. Phenology is the coolest
Love your videos!! Simple no nonsense, honest and informative!! Ever try propagating pineapple lilies from leaf cuttings? It works great!!
Great videos. Really easy to watch and inspiring! Even though I’m in Cornwall, UK seems your climate and soil are similar to mine!
I think we are pretty similar in climate her in Western Washington state, and we can probably grow a lot of the same plants. Lots of cloudy days. We get more cloudy days than any other state in the U.S. Thanks for the nice comment and enjoy the channel!
I think I got a dogwood to start from seed. Had kept some seeds refrigerated and planted them in a pot months ago. Finally seen one sprout. I hope it’s the dogwood
Mike, would love another update of the fig tree in the woods. Want to see if the figs are ripe yet. Enjoyed watching your videos as always!! 😊👍
I've been thinking about that lately. I'm not sure when they ripen but maybe I'll make a trek over there this evening.
I just started watching some of your video they're very interested and very amazed have a blessed day
Thanks, Jillian!
So precise 😄👍
Also valuable information on the drop-down menu
Good information, and entertainment Mike,...Thanks again.
Thanks Reg, at your service as always.
My local dairy was using heavily sprayed feed for their cows with a persistent herbicide which wound up killing almost everything I put it on!
Bummer. I guess that’s something to pay attention to.
Hi Mike getting into Gardening and like watching you're channel as I have started on my boyfriend's garden. Keep up the good work. Andrew from the U.K
I immediately contracted powdery mildew when you said that you don't sanitize your cutting instruments :D haha
OH no, LOL
I loved the first 25 seconds of this video.....even though my blueberry cuttings all died, they were doing great but then we got some really horrible hot weather and all those blueberry cuttings cooked inside the semi-transparent plastic boxes. But I got an amazingly good Japanese maple air-layered plant. I could scarcely believe those 7" long, 1/3 inch thick roots!
Happy for you Tina! It's fun to see those roots coming through.
I was so disappointed with the blueberry cuttings --- but when my husband took a picture of me holding that amazing air-layered Japanese maple --- I was so happy that I was smiling more nicely than I usually do ---- it was such flattering picture that it is now my new Facebook portrait. (Afraid that I am NOT one of those lucky women who look pretty when they are sad!)
I need to make a new facebook page that's more like a group where people can post pics and just talk plant propagation. I'd love to see your pic!
Oh, I hope you do! I moved those "sun-cooked" blueberry cuttings - the half which looked as if they just MIGHT make it - into two long planter boxes - we'll see if any of them survive or not. Right now they are in fir-bark mulch. I am strongly considering taking one of those long planter-boxes, mixing the aged fir bark mulch half-and-half with Miracle-Gro potting soil (finally on sale at the end of the season), and attempting to re-root. There isn't enough root growth on many of them for them to be damaged by rescraping the stalks and redipping in rooting hormone. Or maybe I'll just take new cuttings. Or both. We haven't had a frost here yet.
Try doing hardwood cuttings with your blueberry in the winter. :)
Why do I find myself watching all of your old videos again?
LOL, I better start posting more, haha. Sometimes I go back and do the same thing with other CZcamsr's videos.
@@MikeKincaid79 Yes, it's stuff I've forgotten or for some reason didn't find significant then. It's definitely a compliment to you and your work.
Well I really appreciate it. It does mean a lot to hear that the videos are helpful and still relevant several years later.
I couldn't figure out where all these links in the corner were at until you mentioned the round (I) thing in the corner. Then I found that Annotations was turned off but must be on in order to see the links. I keep it off because some CZcamsrs seem to put in annotation just because they can and most times it doesn't help the point of the video. But now I know if a link is mentioned I can just turn it on in order to follow said link.Very informative videos, btw. I've learned a lot about propagation. I even peed on some of my garden after I started watching your channel. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment, I wasn't aware that annotations had to be turned on. Maybe this will help someone else too. Glad you like the channel, keep peeing on those veges.
"We take cuttings of plants, so we can propogate those pants, so we can grow those plants on, so we can prune those plants, so we can take cuttings of the plants, so we can propogate more plants!" 😂
I love it. It's true, we're addicted 😂
A year ago I had one fig tree and now I have 40 and I'm about to do a few (a lot) more air layers!
It's insane!
@@MikeKincaid79 It is!
Great video Mike :)
Thanks RocketRossUK!
Great video mike !
I have Spirea bushes that are probably 6 yrs old..
I have the gold flame, and another kind, not sure of name ..
I'm def gonna try this..
Thanks for sharing your tips..
Very helpful...
No problem, good luck and if you have questions just ask.
My friend transplanted and divided her Spirea and gave me one a few years back ; and to this day we have a beautiful spires . Thanks to your videos that I’m going to try propagating.
Awesome, have fun!
I enjoyed watching your video mike. awesome 🌸😃
Thanks Michelle, glad you're into them.
Awesome Mike!
Mike I am new to your channel, love them. Someone told me one time when I was trying to start grape cuttings and I was out of rooting hormone to try ground Cinnamon I did and 11 of 13 starts I had rooted. what are your thought was I just lucky or did the cinnamon work.
I've heard of cinnamon being used as a rooting agent. I've never tried it but if you got good results then I'd keep using it!
Everytime I want a new plant I tell my girlfriend that very same thing. I could be at the bar lol
Lol
Bless you baby, they knew you didn't mean to cook them and thats why they are not dying 😂😂🤣😂😂
LOL, I like that thought.
Thanks. And it’s good that you add the links below as well, not all devices show the links in the video, so for the people that don’t see and can’t acess them in the video, the links added to the description help:)
PS:
I’ve also found that the “right time of year” isn’t such a firm rule. I had 100% success on dozens of Euonymus Manhattan I set at the “wrong time of year”. They were my first propagation attempt, I tested several different ways; with and without scuffing them, with and without rooting hormone, etc., and took notes on it all...and they all took, even though I was assured they’d all fail. It’s always worth a go to try anything anytime, from a leaf, soft, semi or hardwood. Whatever. Not much to lose by trying, is there? Like the silly sterility thing, rules are made to be broken;)
It was your vids that got me to just ignore all the drama of little details and just stick ‘em in some dirt! You said not to fuss over daily watering and all that, I used produce bags to keep moisture in, kept them damp and drained, in semi-shade and hardly had to water them over a few months. I pretty much ignored them for the most part, and it worked great! Now I have shrubs I could never otherwise never afford to cover a huge fence line, and I’m always scoping for cuttings of all kinds of things everywhere I go.
Thanks, Mike! Your advice is priceless!
I really appreciate the great comment! Thanks for the advice on putting the links in the description, I will pay more attention to that going forward. Great job on creating your own landscape for pennies on the dollar!
All thanks to your advice! Just to back up what I’m sure many others have also said. You’re helping a lot of people:)
Ugh you stabbed me right in the heart with the Burning Bush. I know they aren't invasive everywhere but I detest them just the same.
Hopefully we can get the knife out of your chest and move on in our relationship here, LOL. There are many other plants out there that I'm sure we can find common ground on.
Hey Mike, great video! My husband & I no longer look at plants like "oh that is a pretty shrub", we look at them like "how many cuttings can I get off of that shrub?" We scalp everything around here in early Summer an have hundreds of cutings in various stages - too fun :) My question is about maple trees. I need about 500 of them for our property. What is the best way to propagate maples of various types I can snag from my friends? We also need white oak. Shrubs I get - trees not so much unless it is a pine tree :)
Any help would be appreciated!
That's funny, I'm the same way! My wife and I go to a nursery and buy a new plant and she thinks we're buying a new accent to the home. I think we're buying a cuttings factory! Propagating trees is a little more difficult depending on the tree. Willow, of course, is super easy but maples are a little tougher. I've never been able to root maples from cuttings but can get the seeds to germinate really easily so if you don't care if you have an exact clone of the parent then I'd suggest collecting seeds and sprouting them. If you need clones then the best way is air layering. I air layered a bloodgood maple last year and it took just fine and is growing in my hoop house now. I have heard of people propagating cuttings of maple but I think mist would be your best bet. I wanted a bunch of big leaf maples planted around my place and so last winter I just pulled up a bunch of seedlings under a full grown tree that sprouted on their own and now they're growing fine in 1 gallon pots. I don't have any experience with white oak but as you know, every plant is different in terms of propagation. Overall, I think your best bet with trees will be intermittent mist.
Thanks Mike! I was thinking the mist thing too. We may someday do that, but honestly for 90% of what we want we don't need it. Seeds would be fine but they do take a LONG time, I waited on a bunch of Red Pines forever so haven't messed with tree seeds since, but maybe maple won't take so long. My only other good option is buying tree plugs off of the internet. Since we want to start with 50-100 it wouldn't kill us financially. Plugs do very well, I got 500 red pine from Itasca and maybe lost 5. Not free like propagation, but for speed it might be the way to go.
I'm all for buying small starts in bulk and have done it myself in the past. If you need a lot of plants quick, then that's a great way to go!
My maples are close to 3/4 foot high In the third year from seed , they will double again this next year I bet. Also my large tree gets an easy dozen " babies" growing near by..I take them out of the lawn before the first lawn mow in the spring...I have 12-20 a year that way too.
If your unknown dogwoods look like mini magnolias and have grey bark, they are likely grey bark dogwoods like mine but cutting them late in the fall kills flower buds for next year. Could be Gray bark dogwood too
Mike! The real Azpen tree is awesome too and spiders don't like it and bugs too not even closer lol
My Mother-in-law has some, beautiful!
Thanks
I've been slacking alot on propagation, I just think I won't see results, but it's been 2 years and I'm going to do it, but I need to build a proper area, part of why I'm not doing much,
Stay in the game, John! Practice makes perfect.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks Mike
I love that you’re propagating stuff from foraged plants. I say screw the copyright of plants... 🌱;)
Don't forget that the copyrighted plant is the result of hard work and years of breeding and growing to get a specific result, not to mention all the knowledge that goes into it. I know it can be frustrating to find out that a beautiful plant is patent protected but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it in your own landscape, and whatever you do on your own property and for your own amusement is up to you.
Mike Kincaid is there someone who goes around testing the dna? Lol I know that was a big deal for people saving corn and soy seeds when they tested for gmo... but as far as patented plants that say “unauthorized propels toon prohibited” isn’t that what you’d be doing if you take cuttings from the plants a shopping centers??
Yes so much fun 😃😄, just don't have space, now that's insane 😳 🤣
Yes, pretty insane, haha
I LOVE your video's... They are very detailed, Informative, not boring.That is why I Liked and Subscribed. My Question is when do most likely prorogate most cuttings? Flowers ( petunias, Coleus) Shrubs or bushes (spirea) and if I want to over winter plants.I'm trying right now petunias cuttings I took a month ago really didn't make it but I do have a half of pot I'm trying to keep(still getting buds) trying to keep.Also do you have a video on Coleus plants I have 4 BIG plants about a foot tall that I repotted in medium pots each.The leaves look like they are tearing or so don't see bugs on them .I would like to keep over winter.. I live in zone 6 (ohio)
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of videos on coleus but I intent to do more in the future. They are really easy to propagate and grow through the winter. You just need good lighting and to have them indoors in a warm place. Here's the video I have about coleus: czcams.com/video/ZChLkdhj2ko/video.html
Have you thought of selling your cuttings for us newbies? With USPS able to send packages within 1-3 days cross country, if you packaged the cuttings in a Ziploc bag and maybe some sort of ice pack i think they'd be able to survive. Little profit for you, and some fun experiments of different plants for us.
Yes, I have thought of selling cuttings and actually sold some in the past but the problem for me is time. With a family and full time work, it's all I can do just to get these videos up. The cuttings would only sell for pennies and really not be worth the time. That's why I started making the videos, so I could teach everyone what I do and you guys could replicate it. That being said, if someone had to have a specific plant that they saw me propagate and couldn't find it anywhere else, I do my best to help out and get it to them.
I was given (free) at an Arbor Day event some Dogwoods. They were just basically twigs but have grown to a nice Bush. When can I expect them to flower? They are now two years old and have not flowered at all. I know that 2020 has been tough on them with the Japanese Beatle. I fixed that with Beatle Traps. Great Stuff! No spray, Safe, it just keeps killing them! Highly recommend the "bag traps".
Please let me know about when Dogwoods flower (Age)
Great videos Mike. Iv just bought my first plastic tote and it has a collection of hydrangea cuttings started.
Would you recommend the same method for Dwarf Lilac?
Lilac can be propagated as cuttings but you'll get a much higher success rate with root cuttings.
Thanks Mike. I’ll try that. Looking forward to your next videos!
Hi I like your videos. I have some Chinses Red Maple trees at my mother house. I want to know how I can root more tree from cutting of her trees. I like these tress they have been around for years.
You may have to find a good rootstock and graft those maples on. I've found that maples are tough to root as cuttings. If you do choose to root them as cuttings, intermittent mist works the best.
Excellent video. Ive always thought it was funny that people sterilize their cutting tools and then stick the cuttings directly into the ground in their backyard.
Me too, haha.
Very good video An inspiration to a novice like the fact you show failure too . That's gardening
Hi Mike really enjoy your videos and the knowledge that you share is fantastic. Do you know what the implications are regarding plants with patents and or trademarks and propagating?
Thanks for,all you do
Bill Smith, Littlestown Pa
I don't know all the particular punishments or fines involved but I do know that propagating patented plants with the intent of making money is illegal unless you have an agreement with the patent holder and that will usually involve them getting a share of the sales. If you have a patented plant at home and want to copy it so you can have one on each side of your house, I don't think the patent police will be banging down your door.
I just realized I have been mispronouncing weigela for 35 years.
Haha, easy to do. I finally googled it to make sure I was saying it right.
me too...I always said weigelia
Ha, I always called them "Wiggly bush" (all in fun)
Any suggestions on how to get rid of tiny black flies? My pot, with store bought garden soil, dried while on vacation , the plant still looks good, but the tiny flies appeared while I was gone. My other pots with potting soil do not have those flies. How do I get rid of the flies? Do I need to change that pot and use potting soil?
Sounds like fungus gnats. Those little pests are horrible and will lay
eggs in the soil that turn into larvae and eat your roots from the
inside out. Hard to get rid of them but you can start by putting out
some of those yellow sticky strips that are for controlling fungus
gnats.
Mike Kincaid thank you!
I have a small humidity meter and I was wondering how high the humidity should be, or should average out to in a container in which cuttings are being rooted?
How do you keep the Deer away????? I can't grow anything without the Deer killing it.
when planting a new dogwood that you have dug up always cut it down to 6 or 8 in stump????? it will grow back next year with a very strong root system
Yes, that will definitely strengthen the root system and trunk. I wouldn't do that with a tree version though.
Hi Mike,
I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos! I live just outside of the Tacoma area. My husband built me a greenhouse a couple years ago, I mostly did all seeds or would just bring in my geraniums in the fall to protect them from the frost. Problem is its a small greenhouse and the geraniums are getting big, taking up space. #1.) Do you have a video on how to make your hoop house? Also I don’t sterilize tools/pots either, unless i see a petunia with white flies, then I will clean them to go to the next hanging basket. (Example) I look at it like bringing home a baby if you shelter your infant it will not form the resistance it needs to fight off colds / flue whatever comes. But also if you know your kids sick your not going to take a drink off the same cup he was drinking from. Just some common sense. So we are building a resistance for our plants likewise, your kid gets sick you rest them, give the flu meds, good nutrition and you keep and eye on them. Same with pets or plants. #2.) Did some cuttings from a Purple Magnolia tree yesterday , Not sure if I did it right but they are in my bedroom window, I have black blinds pulled down with very little light that comes through. #3) do I need a heating mat for this kind of tree? I heard somewhere they should be kept in a shady area, so I was wondering if this was sufficient? I was afraid to put them out in the greenhouse as I lost 2 trays of plant due to it getting above120 on a 90 degree day in the Greenhouse. Was out of town helping my son move, which really sucked because they where plants intended for his new place. So will just start over. I totally relate to that euphoric attitude you get over your plants!!! Looove it!!!! thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Love the analogy of pots to raising kids, lol. I don't have any videos on the hoop house build but have gotten a lot of requests for it so I'm going to have to do that one some day soon. The Magnolia cuttings should probably have some bottom heat for the first few weeks if taken now as hardwood cuttings. I like putting trees like dogwood and magnolia in shadier locations because it makes them grow more open and airy instead of compact. I like the look it adds with some rhododendrons growing underneath.
Thank You for responding back Mike;
lost a couple magnolias since you responded, because I haven’t been on CZcams in a couple weeks. My cat kept pushing the mini greenhouse covering off, I think that might be why I lost those. I also have Magnolia starts going in my bedroom, shaded and indirect light. They seem to like that area. Looking forward to a step-by-step video on the hoop house! I definitely will be looking for that vid!
Enjoy your enthusiasm and thank you for sharing your knowledge !
Hi Mike... ❤
Thanks for the love
if you have acces to some dogwood trees maby wild in the woods you ca n find small dogwood trees near the mother plant dig them up with roots if possible when you replant always cut over half of tree leaving a bout 10 in stump dont worry it will grow back fast this way it wont die from the roots you broke off as you dug it up
NICE...
I have a Queen Anne's Wreath vine of my sister's that l would like to propagate for her daughters. She is 98 years old and l plan to give them to my nieces when my sister passes. How do l do that?
Do have pictures of there plants u r talking about
I did propagate roses and hydrangea and rhodies and azaleas last year. These cutting are not about 4 inches tall with lots of roots When do I plant them and how do I safely plant them since they are so small?
I leave mine in the frame for another year and pot up next spring.
Please make a video on homemade fertilizers for flowers
I'll add it to the list, thanks.
So sick of only seeing Kouro Dogwood at the local nurseries.
Wifey has gorgeous old white American Dogwoods in her yard.
Failed 2x this spring w both the American Dogwood and Higan weeping cherry cuts... Tried woody and green shoots.
Dont want to wait til next March or April to try again.
Its July 23 here in Rockport and Hingham Mass (my 2 mad scientist propagation compounds).... Is it too late in the season to try again? Should I wait til March/April?
Thanks Mike
I think it's getting a little late for dogwood trees but that's not to say you wouldn't have some level of success with it now. "propagation compounds" LOL
Did your dogwoods ever root? I have tried to propagate them a couple times and they never worked. Also, do you know how to propagate honeysuckle vine?
One of them did: czcams.com/video/RuhY_O1gt8s/video.html
Your propagation box you made, will it work for softwood and hardwood cuttings good? I’m looking for a system I can use that works good year round without the need for any misting system. If yours fits this will you send me the link here to get your plans. Thank you
Your comment made me smile, "I’m looking for a system I can use that works good year round without the need for any misting system." That's exactly why I built my system! It will work year round and is fool proof. I really don't want to sell you on anything. I'll just say that it's the only system I use for mass production and have been very successfully using it for over 10 years now. Here's the link to the website: propagateplantslikeapro.com The first video shows me using the frame to propagate rhododendrons but you can propagate anything in it.
Mike Kincaid is the members area purchase the deal with the system in it?
Yes
Hi, Mike. How many weeks did it take for the weigela cuttings to root?
My weigela took about 5 weeks but cutting them more than 3 weeks after bloom may cut all the buds off for next year's blooms
Yes Mike Kincaid You Suddenly Perfect Dominate my You Tube Garden , Even CaliKim and Gary Pilchick Wind Blown out with VeganAthlete.
Thanks for letting me into your home, figuratively speaking. That's a nice compliment comparing me to some of those big channels, thank you.
I want to root some cuttings of my bloodgood maple tree but I have no idea how to cut pieces or what solutions to use. Can you help and show techniques on how to make cuttings from a tree?
They are difficult to root from cuttings and the end result isn't very impressive because they don't grow as well on their own roots. You'd do much better to find a good rootstock and graft scions from the bloodgood onto it.
Mike Kincaid I found a grafting tool on amazon , is there a good technique to follow when cutting the graft because I’m unsure where exactly to cut from a branch and what angles to cut
Hard to describe here but I'm planning to do some videos about it at some point.
i'm really glad I stumbled on to your website, you are so interesting ,say hi to your wife ! i'll follow you for advice thanks
Well I'm really glad you stumbled upon us too. Carla! Thanks for the kind words and have fun in the garden. If you haven't seen it yet and are interested, we have a Facebook group where everyone can share their gardening experiences and ask questions: facebook.com/groups/346884795717132
Cooked them 😜😁😄🤣
Plant soup
I love your videos, however I noticed that you didn't mention the Rose of Sharon after the cooking of the cuttings, I take it they didn't survive. Also while on propagating I recently acquired some Rose of Sharon cuttings, can I propagate them in river sand? Or should I use some other material to propagate Rose of Sharon?
The cuttings survived and yes, sand is a great material for rooting cuttings. Wow, you're really going back into the archives for this video. I'll have to do another video on rose of sharon.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you, I'm glad that they survived. I would really love you to do a video on Rose of Sharon. I know 4 years back. Even though I am in Australia you are the only garden expert I watch on CZcams and when I researched the cuttings I had and knew what they were, I had a vague memory that you propagated the Rose of Sharon so I had to go back through the archives to make sure my memory was correct.
Wow, I’m honored. Thanks for following the channel here and I’m glad you enjoy it.
hey mike, im new suscriber, im vry impressed from your work can you pls show how to grow rose of sharon, lilac from cutting thx a lot bro
I’ll work on it.
Mike, would Hardy Hibiscus work the same as Rose of Sharon?
Yes!
I have a little small greenhouse I set up in my yard for propagation - and in 86 degree weather I'm leaving it open...is it too hot? I'm trying to keep them out of direct sun.
Also - I set up a misting system...how often should I mist?
The mist can be variable, it just depends on the plant and cuttings. For softwood cuttings that are really tender, mist every 5 to 10 minutes. For semi-hardwood cuttings, you can mist every 30 minutes to an hour. Definitely leave the greenhouse door open to get air flow.
@@MikeKincaid79 MIKE! Thanks for responding! I have a timer on order that will make it a lot easier. LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!! You are the best.
So my cuttings are in my greenhouse I have a lot so I put a piece of plastic over it. some leafs fell off is that normal
While I understand the need for privacy, as a frame of reference can you give us an indication of where you are working: i.e. Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, West Coast, etc?
Northwest coast, zone 8b, near Olympia, Washington.
CAN ANYONE HELP? Mike talked about keeping Rose of Sharon cuttings in the fridge for a week, before potting them up.
That’s MY BIG question... time after taking cuttings?
How long can various cuttings stay out after cut, before they either die or won’t be suitable to pot-up?
I’m thinking about Rose & Hydrangea cuttings I took when, I had to rush my dog to the Vets & completely forgot about the cuttings, till the next morning. It was about 72°F (21°C) in the house where they sat for about 10 hrs. HELP?
You can keep them in a plastic bag, in the fridge, for weeks.
Why are the tips of my junior giant cutting turning brown. They are about two weeks old.
There are so many variables that go into this and I just don't have enough info to answer properly.
Hi. What kind of soil are you using? Can I use a mixture of sand and topsoil in all cuttings? What’s the best soil for cuttings? Thanks.
You can use anything that drains well, holds some moisture, and is inert.
Mike Kincaid thanks. I’ve been watching all your videos. It’s so informative. I just started trying to grow some burning bush, boxwood, dogwood and roses.
Do you have any videos on propagating star magnolia? I haven't found any good ones, anywhere. :)
I don't but that would be a good one to do. Thanks for the idea. Now I just need to find a star magnolia.
What happened with my rose cutting the have new leave come out then they dry out. 😢😭 I wish I can sent picture of my cutting to you, will help you to know what happen with them.

I took cuttings from my spirea, put a bag over them and left them inside out of the direct sunlight. Thought they were doing good so took the bag off and within a couple days they died. In northern Alberta so cannot leave them outside during the winter (-70ish). Even in the summer i should put bottom heat on these? I will need to propagate them indoors.
-70 is way colder than I have experience with so if you say they have to be propagated indoors then that's what we're going with, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 when I take spirea cuttings, do they need to be in a seed tray as you have done? Will they root during the summer or will i need to over-winter them inside? And if they root during the same summer they were propagated, can they be planted in the garden?
New here. Just curious why to cut leaf in half.
It decreases the amount of moisture loss from the cutting and saves room in the propagation frame.
Hi, Great video. Question, are the plants your get your cuttings from a trademarked brand? If so, did you have to pay a royalty? Where can I find plants that are not trademarked or patented?
Thanks for the video. I like your enthusiasm!
No, they were not trademarked. You can find generic plants in any big box store or nursery, you just have to look around a little and collect them over the years. There are also various groups online who trade or sell rooted cuttings of non-trademarked plants. Thanks for watching!
Mike, I thought you said not to open the tray after the cuttings have been placed in it. You keep opening the dome and adding more cuttings. What is up with that?
Not sure what you're referring to. What cuttings did I add?
Hi Mike! New subscriber. Question. I just saw a video of your in which you were showing how to propagate rhododendrons. I think that's were it was. Anyway, I followed instructions and did the same for a rose Bush I have had for 35 years and it's on its last leg. My question is that after I planted the cuttings and put plastic container over it I left it in the back yard. Now it is September and I live in the northeast. Should I leave it outside or bring it in?
If it's well rooted, you can leave it outside, otherwise you may need to bring it in.
@@MikeKincaid79 you lost me there. What do you mean if it's well rooted? I put the stems in a pot the size you showed in the video. Quitehonestly, your response makes no sense to me. Maybe you were answering someone else's question.,
What is the best medium to put your cuttings in? I tried dirt and they seem to do nothing at all only ones that work are the hydrangeas
Use a soil-less medium such as potting soil or fine ground bark, coarse sand also works.
