  • Let's talk about how to grow plants from cuttings. Should you score your cuttings? Cut the top of hardwood cuttings on a slant? Use rooting hormone? Here I want to open up about what I've learned in plant propagation - but more importantly, I'd love to take your questions. Give me your best shot... maybe you'll stump me!

    Day 3 of loving your channel, Jason! Ppl likely have gotten the idea of slanting the top of a cutting from Arborists. When topping the height of a tree trunk, cutting it on a slant prevents the moisture from sitting/pooling on the cap, therefore preventing the top of the trunk wood from rotting.

    Funny!... the mnemonic I learned for telling up from down on cuttings using slanted and straight cuts was to slant the bottom (the part closest to the root) and cut the top straight - the idea being that the slant indicated something pointy that would be poked into the rooting mix. I am sure it makes no difference, so long as it is consistent and one remembers the protocol.

      Hi Macide. Late spring (June here) as the roses go into full bloom - that way I have plenty of semi-hardwood stem to work with, and it's not so hot as to cause difficulty with my timed mist. Which roses are easy to root? It varies a lot - I found landscape roses like Bonica are easy, Sally Holmes is a breeze, Super Dorothy, Fellowship, etc. I've had a bit more trouble with old garden roses (Gallicas in particular) and even some rugosas.

    Jason you missed this but hopefully you've mentioned it more recently- one of biggest advantages of using liquid hormone is ability to dilute it to suit your current need (plant species and time of year etc. )One concentrated liquid IBA product can be diluted tomake 1,000 or 4,000 or 10,000ppm or whatever you wish. With powders you're pretty much stuck with the strength it comes.

    Thanks for the knowledge Jason. Roses continue to be my biggest challenge by far. I have propogate figs and couoke of other plants successfully but not roses yet. I became hobby Gardner just before winter. With rose I find myself too afraid that cutting may dry out in cup so I keep spraying with water over the cuttings (just a couple of sprays) almost daily and all stems have rotted so far even though soil doesn't look terribly wet. I have no clue how you get them to root

    • @FraserValleyRoseFarm
      @FraserValleyRoseFarm  Před 5 lety +3

      Managing humidity and air circulation was my first big lesson in propagating roses. I started out indoors, and did the cuttings under a high clear plastic dome. Low success because of the poor air circulation. A couple of sprays a day certainly doesn't sound excessive - unless the air circulation is poor, and the cuttings spend too long with standing water. Also, check how deep you're sticking - the more stem below the soil line, the more chance of rot. I only put nine down by about 3 or 4 cm, enough to keep the cutting upright in the pot. I hope that helps, and best luck. You'll get it.

    • @elsagrace3893
      @elsagrace3893 Před 3 lety

      You can add about 40% vermiculite to your soil for better drainage. A high amount of peat in the soil will go soggy with daily sprays from my experience. Also my cuttings are outdoors under a plastic sheet so there is air circulation when the wind blows. When I have reported my cuttings I’ve been kind of appalled at the soil mixes I’ve grown them in. Too rich a soil is not good (compost) and normal dirt isn’t good (too compact). Check your soil before you discard your failed and also your successful cuttings.

      We're coming into the best season here - probably for you and me both. Good active growth on the mother plants, lots of semi-hardwood stems (my favorite stage for cuttings) and it's still a while before the summer heat makes misting difficult. My best success is usually late spring/early summer and then again in September or so, when it cools a bit.

    Just stumbled on your channel today and completely started binge watching lol (Netflix… step aside). I just realized the cuttings I’m trying to propagate are turning black from the top down. Any insight would be hugely appreciated.

      Thanks Melissa. I'd look at your moisture levels - if they're turning black (instead of drying out and turning brown) that could be rot from excess moisture.

    Helpful video, thanks! Does soil make a difference?

      Hi Kay. Yes, soil definitely makes a difference. 1) Garden soil and compost tend to come with a lot of microbes - and some of those microbes can be plant pathogens under the right circumstances. Professional propagators found that moving over to a relatively "clean" potting mix improved success by quite a bit. What fits the bills as "clean"? Sand, perlite, vermiculite, peat moss, coir, composted bark (and other forestry products), rockwool, oasis foam, etc. 2) don't mix fertilizer in the initial propagation mix. The salts may pull moisture from the cuttings. 3) Other than that, just make sure it's freely draining so that you can manage the moisture properly. There are loads of propagation mixes available (many of them are peat and perlite) but you can succeed with a wide variety of substrates if you keep moisture levels under control.

    Hey.. I'm looking for some help with silver buttonwood cuttings. I see that the green buttonwood grows from cutting but does to silver as well.

    This is great! Thanks so much. You didn't talk about time of year. Does this depend on type/species? I've seen several people say to do cuttings in spring after new growth to encourage root growth quickly as the plant is in a natural growing cycle. I've seen others say (at least for deciduous trees) to wait until the leaves fall to take a cutting!

    • @FraserValleyRoseFarm
      @FraserValleyRoseFarm  Před 2 lety

      Yes, it's very species dependent. Grapes can go either way, but I do hardwood cuttings (winter) because it's the easiest. Roses I like to do in the spring/summer. Usually if you search google with the name of the species and "propagation by cuttings" it'll give you some idea of where other gardeners have succeeded in timing.

    How about maple trees? Have you had success propagating them from cuttings? I am enjoying your content. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.

    Thank u so much for this vid. Just wanted to know if there is a best time of year to take cuttings?

    • @FraserValleyRoseFarm
      @FraserValleyRoseFarm  Před 4 lety +3

      Hi Nici - I take them in the late spring/early summer because I find semi-hardwood growth to be the easiest, and that's when my shrubs have lots of new growth ripening.

      I'm more focused on selling the finished plants, but I might make the odd exception for farm visitors.

      Near Vancouver BC, but just be forewarned that even if you made the trip, the folks at the border don't allow plants to come back without special permits.

    As i dont have any green house or mistings or those stuffs for me i propogate in a fish box thermocool with cocopeat and cover with the cover thats too thermacool and made a hole alot if holes so lights engought could pass into it. I see miracle ever since. The reason behind this great success i think is thermacool control heats and as i side a box there's a greenhouse effect. They root just in three weeks. I put the box outside on top of a chicken house...or shed what they call it?
