Hey Daniel! how are your cuttings looking? I think the best method for taking Red Robbin cuttings is softwood in the summer and semi ripe in the autumn, not hardwood as you have done. you don't need them to be as long either and can even do "node to node". The honey is a bit of a myth, alot of cuttings will root without any hormone or something added. i believe the honey is "beneficial" due to its anti bacteria properties, although id personally buy a good brand of rooting hormone powder and give your cutting tips a light dusting in that instead. also, its best to leave one or two leaf's at the top of the cutting, you could even cut them in half to decrease perspiration. one last thing, make sure you have a good mix for your medium, add some sand, grit or/and perlight for good drainage and aeration :) how about you go out and take a bunch of cuttings (10 - 20) and try different methods, you could stick 6 or more in each pot the size you used. see what works best, my money is on this cutting not rooting but we will see :) (can take 6-8 weeks) Best of luck, Matt
Daniel I love the way u keep saying "apparently " all the way through the video like it was your first time doing this well it was a really good simple video and I'm dying to see how the cutting did red Robin is my wife's favourite
Hi Daniel, not one of my cuttings have ever taken! I will try again, for the 100th time. When making a video for viewing an extra microphone would help greatly! I am unable to hear clearly on many videos, so I just watch.
Sooooo where did part 2 go on this? I'm just about to take some cuttings off mine, to place in a dark corner of the garden behind a wall, idea being ill grow them in pots in full sun, until they reach about wall height, to then transfer to the ground
THE CUTTING IS WAY TO LONG, ONLY HALF THAT AMOUNT IS REQUIRED. THE PLANT HAS TO USE A HUGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY TO KEEP THIS ALIVE & BE ABLE TO GROW. ONLY AROUND 8-10 CM IS REQUIRED . YOU ALSO SHOULDNT TAKE CUTTING WHEN A PLANT IS FLOWERING. CUTTING LEAVES IN HALF IS SOME NEW WEIRD FAD, ISNET NESSARIERY OR REQUIRED, JUST LEAVE TWO LEAVES AT THE TOP. ''CUTTING THE LEAF ''WILL CAUSE MORE STRESS TO THE PLANT . HONEY , NEVER HEARD OF THIS BUT ILL TRY IT AS IT LASTS FOR LIFE AS A RESOURCE , NEVER GOES OFF , SO COULD WORK WELL.
They will eventually outgrow the pots, (if you want them to grow to become bigger and provide the privacy you need) they need more room+nutrients hope that helps.
@@DanielJohnHowTo Sure. As stated below, the honey doesn't work, your soil is wrong, you leave a lot of stuff out about what time of yr. to cut, what kind of stem works best, etc., you say 'apparently' so much it sounds like you have no idea of what you're doing or if it'll work, you've ignored most of the people that have questions, you're just the first guy who has a video on this so you get hits but virtually every other video has better info. You waste peoples time.
Why do you keep saying 'apparently' we watch these videos for instruction and advice, not someone telling us us that apparently this is what you do! It dos not give viewers confidence.
@Daniel you say what you like, it's your channel, @Robert it's a figure of speech for him and it's used to imply that he doesn't think he is the total authority of what he does, but 'this' is what he has learned of 'way' of doing somthing.
If you found this video helpful please subscribe, it will help me a lot. I am planning to release more videos shortly.
So Daniel did the cutting survive? Can we have an update please?

I'm going to do a follow up video very soon, but I wanted to give them enough time - if you subscribe you'll be notified of the update video.
Some of the cuttings didn't make it but that's why I took quite a few planted them just in case, some have grown into little bushes now.
@@DanielJohnHowTo was it worth the effort? Or do you think better off just buying from the store?
Thank you, the simplest and best explained method I've seen :)
TY for the lesson. I'm thinking of starting cuttings of a lot of other plants too my favorite right now are the purple queen and potato Vines 😁
Daniel I love the way u keep saying "apparently " all the way through the video like it was your first time doing this well it was a really good simple video and I'm dying to see how the cutting did red Robin is my wife's favourite
Thanks Daniel, I'll try the clear honey, hadn't heard that one before, new subscriber! 🌱
Very best 👌 👍
Thanks a lot 😊
Subscribed cause you seem a good guy and easy instructions 👌 keep up the work
Hi Daniel, not one of my cuttings have ever taken! I will try again, for the 100th time. When making a video for viewing an extra microphone would help greatly! I am unable to hear clearly on many videos, so I just watch.
@ Try using rooting hormone instead of honey perhaps
I just planted this from cutting, in central Texas. Instead of soil/compost, i experimented with sand...we shall see how out turns out
Do you have an update?
Thank you Daniel, we live in the center of France , warmer climat than the north , when do you recommend doing this ? Thank you in advance
i have tried this on griseilinia several times, always fails, must be a knack as all the growers use this method.
we had some fail, but mostly success could be the soil?
Tnx❤
Daniel en que estación del año es lo mas recomendable hacerlo
love this video keep making them really helpful (:
Glad you like them!
Thank you. 👌💕
You're welcome 😊
Thank you 🌺
You’re welcome 😊
tried several times, just like you described. It doesn't work for some reason. :(
Sorry to hear that
Sooooo where did part 2 go on this? I'm just about to take some cuttings off mine, to place in a dark corner of the garden behind a wall, idea being ill grow them in pots in full sun, until they reach about wall height, to then transfer to the ground
I never filmed it, but they turned out nice.
Turn up volume!!
why cut the bottom leaf off last? is there a method to this for the plant?

Hi is there a follow up video? How did it do?
most of them worked, some didn't
the cutting looked too long to me. Also shouldn't there be some grit in the pot as well?
Enough there for 6 or more
instead of honey use an appropriate woody root hormone - much better results
Thanks for a great video. What is the best time to do this? Spring, summer, late summer?
Warm weather season.
You keep saying assume is this the first time you have performed this exercise?
should have poured the honey into a smaller container
Thanks for the advice
@@DanielJohnHowTo Any updates? I am new to all this lol
Where do you leave the plant? 🙏🙏🙏🙏, outside or?
yep
@@DanielJohnHowTo sorry, yep what? Outdoors? Thanks, your video is very helpful, we thank you.
Can I keep red photinias in pots forever? Wanna put them along fence for privacy but I wanna be able to move them if I need too?
They will eventually outgrow the pots, (if you want them to grow to become bigger and provide the privacy you need) they need more room+nutrients hope that helps.
I tried this method 3 times in the spring time but it never worked for me.
that is strange, we had much success not every plant but a lot of them worked
Dear Daniel, why do you use honey?
its said to do so on cuttings on many other sites and books, it helps cuttings root.
I’d just use rooting powder, less messy!!
Hey guys I’m wondering how your Photinia turned out. I can’t see a follow up
Appreciate any feedback
we had a lot of success, some plants didn't make it though but that was too be expected
Did it work (grow)?
most of them did, you need to plant enough to cover losses if you want/need x plants - hope tha t helps
@@DanielJohnHowTo thanks Daniel, will do that and keep you posted. We've got a massive shrub and seems a waste to just cut it back
@@Frank-hn3yj Alright, they take ages to grow as well sometimes years for anything substantial normally.
@@DanielJohnHowTo thanks for your advise. I am patient, I've grown a tree from an acorn lol
Why the honey? 🤔🤔😂😂😂 Does it work?
it provides food for it
@@DanielJohnHowTo thank you for respond. I will try your technique 👍
