Plants for Free: Propagate Cape Gooseberry Plants from Cuttings
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 2. 10. 2020
- One gardening task that we can do at the beginning of autumn is multiply our plants for free. Many perennial flowers that bloom in spring and early summer can be divided, and we can also propagate stem cuttings. Growing cuttings is a valuable technique to create loads of new plants for free. It's also a clever way to ensure the survival of tender plants that aren't likely to survive the winter.
In this video, I share how I'm taking cuttings of my cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) and potting them up to grow their own roots. Also called the Inca berry and ground cherry, these sprawling members of the Solanaceae family are relatives of tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, and eggplants. All of those plants will also form roots from stem cuttings.
đż Question for you: Have you tried propagating from stem cuttings before? What plant did you try and did it work?

![#HowTo Grow #Physalis as Perennials || Secrets for Success [Goldenberries]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4YaTyFttDpQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Great video thanks! Though some people call it a Ground Cherry (Physalis Pruinus) they would be incorrect... Many use Cape Gooseberry (Physalis Peruviana) as a blanket term for all of these, but there is quite a difference between the varieties and that is size of the fruits, form of the plant and above all their taste. Indeed what you have is Cape Gooseberry and superior to the ground cherry as the fruits are much larger, tastier, and they grow about the size of a small cherry tomato, and the plant grows upright.
Ground Cherries (Physalis Pruinus) grows more flat and trailing against the ground, which is also great if you want ground cover, or in your raised beds trailing over the edges.However, there is also a noticeable difference in taste, Peruviana being the more superior tart pineapple flavor of the two types, and more orange in color.
On the other hand the Ground Cherries are very prolific and look the size of popcorn or large dice as mature fruits, and though often having a higher yield, are considerably smaller fruits, and my experience do not have the full taste of the Cape Gooseberry. Ground cherries will develop a bit larger as the plant matures, but not near as big as what you have here.Also the fruit drops from the plant at maturity where as Cape Gooseberries do not, or at least to the same degree.
I hope this helps, and thanks for your video
Thank you for an excellent explanation . It took me a while to get it all straight . I did ground cherries last year and Capes this year . No comparison . The Capes are so superior that I would never grow the Ground Cherries again . The problem is the Ground Cherries have reappeared everywhere !
These berries grow in the Andes in Colombia like a weed. Love them! We call them âuchuvasâ.
I bought fruit here in Northern California with was imported from Colombia and I am growing them from seed. I have 6 plants so far and look forwards to share the seeds and fruit with people in my community, they are absolutely delicious
You have a beautiful voice.
Here in Hawaii we call these Poha Berries. I am growing them for the first time this,year. You are so right about how they take a long time to grow. I am happy to know how to propagate them so I can grow more plants.
I also live in Hawaii and grow these, but mine are from China and have a different taste from the local poha berries.
Just ordered my Poha Berries. I'm so excited to try and grow these đ never had them before â€
Ground cherries are one of my favorites! I didn't think about taking cuttings. Great idea!
My Nan used to grow Physalis and I'd completely forgotten about it. I really liked the taste, not everyone does. Thanks for another great video, I'm inspired to grow one now!
@Mel Hawk she made loads of jam but never from these! I think I was the only one who ate them lol
Thank you...I had previously failed in my attempts to take cuttings. This was very helpful
Just got a passionfruit cutting to root. Gonna try grafting later on. Also have Thyme growing. Tomato grow great from cuttings or suckers.
Beautiful garden! That's a great way to propagate gooseberry! Have a happy weekend!
Have a lovely weekend too đ
This grows well carelessly at bushy area at our country.When we were kids used to play with this but never try to eat..due to our ignorance we did't eat but have come to know this has a great nutritional values..Will definitely try next time..
I've heard from others about this too! I think they're called Tino-Tino in the Philippines? How lucky to have them growing wild!
Thank you for sharing. Now here is a tip for clipping/cutting. Did you know that there are cutting pliers that do not press the bottom end clippings where you just cut them. Those pliers are used for cutting tubes.
They will not damage the stem. Or squeeze them shut. Preventing rooting.
In Europe we use these ones. I don't know about your country and those of you who are enjoying this video. Thanks again.
I think you're referring to anvil secateurs vs. bypass secateurs?
Mine in Louisiana was planted in April and I have 15 and have only got 5 fruits by July 24. Most haven`t even bloomed yet and they`re huge. But they`re delicious.
What a great video thank you.
Your theory about how they propagate in the wind is 100% spot on, we live in Cape Town, surrounded by Gooseberries, and they grow where the wind blowâsâŠâŠâŠ.
FYI, makes an awesome jam
Aha! Great to know đ I never have enough for jam but if I do, I'll keep it in mind đ
I've grown Physalis from seed for the last two years and the plants have fruited well, although there are still lots of green ones left at the end of the season which feels such a waste. I hadn't thought to try cuttings so I will give it a go. I was lucky enough to visit Peru this February (where the plants originate) and we had some wonderful jam made with them.
How amazing to have tried the preserves in the berry's home beat đ€©
I only had 1 plant survive this year, so this sure will help save it. Cheers
So what kind of plant was it? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks
Easy explanation
Easy way
Will try
From Cape Town, South Africa, Africa.
Thanks for all the tips - I got given this plant years ago and it survived for a long while- my kids loved the fruit - eventually it withered away but to my surprise my local nut and dried fruit shop had dried cape gooseberry - I plant the seeds and they are doing well - thanks south Cyprus
There are a lot of rubbish physalis growing tutorial but this is the best one that I had come across so far. It is clear and informative. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I have these in my allotment plot. My friend gave me the plant. Very unusual sweet taste.
A real treat!
My neighbor has it growing in her front garden, it always comes back year after year for her.
It's a perennial in zone 10 and warmer so if you're not in that region it's propagating by seed
Great information! Thank you!
Thank you!! I'll do this before frost. đ
Hey thanks Ms Lovely Greensđ
Awesome, thank you so much for sharing. đ€đŸ
Mine survived the mild winter we had here in zone 9. A friend that lives near by has one that is HUGE.
I love your accent. What a smart and sweet gardener you aređ
Totally enjoyable informative video keep them coming
Great Video, You impressed me very much. Your wisdom makes me smile, looking forward too many more.
That was so useful, thank you! Now I know how to trim my sprawling bush while also propagating new plants.
This is the good way to us. thanks for your video sharing!
Well explained,Thank you.
I am growing some this year , very productive. I didnât know it can come back every year provided it is sheltered I guess. But I am definitely doing some cuttings . Wonderful idea. Thanks
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION ... MANY BLESSINGS
You are a life saver! Thank you. You have generated yet another future income stream for me on my farm! Go bless you.
You are really amazing at explaining in detail how to propagate Physalis. I really enjoyed this video, and I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you!
Great video Tanya and good to see how to propagate Cape Goose berries from cuttings and getting free plants(you don't want to unnecessary pay for something you don't need to). I have a blackberry plant that needs pruned and I will use the cuttings for free plants.
Very helpful. Thank you. Just planted three cuttings đ€đ€đ€
Thank you, as I go try it out. We don't have a problem of the sun where I am. I actually seeded some last week, ill try your method.
wow so many kine of vegetables guys in fresh garden thank for share
Hey đ€. I just tuned into to check out your way of growing gooseberry from cuttings. I planted English gooseberry cuttings about 8 weeks ago they have little baby flowers Iâm so happy đ
Good information.. thanks a lot.
wonderful vĂdeo as usual âđ·
Thank you
Great descriptive video. I've grown Cape gooseberries for years and love them as well. I'll try your cutting propagation method for fun (Cape gooseberries grow easily in my part of the world, and gardening should be fun for the small home gardener). Thanks again đ
I do love me some Ground Cherries. Reminds me of mangos.
You have a very beautiful garden just like you!
Thanks
This is perfect I finally got some started this year and they took forever to germinate. Iâm totally trying this. I wondered since they had all those little hairs like tomatoes. Thank you.
I like your garden đ
such a cute cat!
Thanks Mam
ì ì ë§ ë돎 ë©ì§ëë€ !
Great video
I love watching your video welcome Autumn Season plants need to harvest sooner..
Thank you đ
Here,in indonesia,this plant is like a weed,grow anywhere,the taste is sweet
Love from indonesia
Interesting. Never thought of taking cuttings. Ground cherries grow much easier here, and I have at least 5 varieties. I shall have to try cuttings of the strongest. Cape gooseberries do not seem to enjoy my desert dry heat, but I will keep trying. I finally figured out tomatillos, so hopefully I will get some of the cape gooseberries. The plants here enjoy the fall, if they survive the summer.
You look lovely toođđ»đ
When Iâm doing more plants, I simply cut mine off and put them in water and then they will grow a lot of roots. I also using the branches with top leaf though . I use them all and they will all growđ€. Then I will pot them afterwards. Itâs sooo easyđđđ±đż. I got the mother plant in my Orangery but itâs big(3 meters) and heavy and not easy to move around by myself . In the winter time I put a duvet around the pot( there are no heat in there). This winter the temperature went down to around -15c and I thought it was dead. But it survivedđ€. There came a lot of new shoots from beneath here this spring(2021). The old branches was dead though. But it survived under the soil apparently. I guess the duvet was the reason for the survivalđ. Thanks for sharing. Hugs from Denmark and sorry my bad spelling in englishđŹđŹhope you understand anywayđđč
Here in the Eastern Cape, South Africa they grow wild like weeds. They seed themselves by the hundreds
Keep up the pandemic growing !!! Pandemic greenhouse will be subscribing đ±đđżđđż
nice video
I planted a seed of these from the store and they grow buck wild. lol I got a cutting on the way
I finally got one ground cherry plant to grow this year. I winter sewed several seeds and only one came up. I am definitely going to try this method of over wintering. Your berries are larger than mine. I remember eating these in my grandfather's garden and I remember them being larger than the fruits on my plant. Maybe over wintering in this way will make for better plants next summer. Thank you for reminding me to try this Tanya!
Older plants produce bigger and more abundant harvests :)
@@Lovelygreens Wonderful. Thank you. I'm excited to try this :)
Definitely going to try this method this year. Looked like an early fall activity?
I am indigenous Montagnard Jarai I like to eat gooseberry when I was in village I ate a lot
Thanks for sharing. I did propagate tomato, moringa and guava. I had ground cherries in Africa and loved it. I am wondering if I can be gifted one of your cuttings for my cultivation. Thanks for shating
Iâve been planning on growing Chinese lantern berrys for a few months now would getting a green house to use over the winter work in ohio about half the time itâs under 30° from mid fall to the beginning of spring
Probably best to start them from seed in spring where you are.
That's cute, only kids eat this kind of berries in our place because they are considered as weeds only.
In our country, this is considered as one of the wild plants. We never cultivate them. Hope I can do something with them so I can make profit someday
Thanks your video! Itâs Mid-Fall here! Can I do cutting now? Our winter about 20~50F in Arizona (3544 feet), so my gooseberry grow back yard and put some mulch is OK for cold weather? Thanks again!
Incredibly good. Have been wondering what to do with mine. So then there will be offshoots and modest down the main plant. Should one cover the master plan in the greenhouse? example leaves? Norwegian winter can be very cold.
If you have space in a heated porch/greenhouse/house bring it inside. It's a tropical plant and will die in the Norwegian winter đ„¶
Iâm struggling to find a cutting on my plant that isnât packed with fruit haha
This year all my berry flower fell before forming the fruit n now no more flowers r forming I had many plants in place n all roots were together or I need to Fertiliz them can u please tell me x a lot for y infor on the cuttings lovely đđ
Hi, how many days does it take for this variety to harvest?!
Thank you. I would've loved to see a follow-up program as to see the eventual outcome and success rate. I have propagated golden berry cuttings in water successfully. It happened when some cut worms chewed off some of the younger plants. Needless to say l was disappointed. Because I had prior success with tomato cuttings in water l tried the golden berries with success. The big thing of growing water roots is the transplanting from water to soil in containers. Transplant shock is the issue. If you treat that process carefully like someone in an icu the plants should survive. Just my little experience.
Nearly 100% success rate with this method đ
Borneon call Latuok fruit.
Can you grow these in 5 gallon fabric containers?
I did leave my plants outside for the winter, do you know if they will come back or i have to plant new plants?
Does this mean the mother plant will die off and all you have left are the five cuttings. This is my first year trying to grow the and I have just purchased a eight inch starter.
Thank you.
I have a mini tomato. It is actually a normal vigorous growth tomato that has been about 20cm high for the past 3 years and stays alive. It never grew side stems or tomatoes. it is the only tomato plant that is eaten by the little darn flies in the ground that eat everything here. Do you think it would grow if I made a cutting out of the top half ?
Will this plant survive in 10°C ?
I over wintered a Ground Cherry plant. I think it's the same as the Goose Berry. If not, very close. In the spring took several cuttings and planted in pots, some in the ground. The foliage is beautiful. The problem I have is the berries seemed to have mutated. They are not covered in the lantern outer layer, just small berries. They are far smaller than they should be. They are starting to become a dark purple almost black, not the golden color they should be when ripe. This is happening with all the plants that have bloomed so far. The mother plant did not have this problem last year. Can anyone explain this? Has anyone had this to occur?
where u got this plants can u please let me know thanks
Has anyone checked on this lovely plant lady. She might be trapped in her house by a wild Physilus! đ€Łđ±đ±đ±

Are they edible
I don't see any citrus trees in your allotment? maybee due to weather??
Hello! Iâm hoping you can help. My main original stem is really tall. Am I able to cut that down? I already have 4 or so new plants forming at the base of the main stem.
Yes, you can prune it down. Cutting to the base of the plant will kill it though.
Hi, just wondering if you would plant all the cuttings as 1 plant in the spring or do you seperate them out and plant them individually?
They all become individual plants that need their own growing space.
Can I use root stimulant for the cutting?
You could, but it's not necessary
Wonât root in water?
I didn't know of this plant ... And it grew in my garden without me putting in the seeds ... So I just ripped it out thinking it's a random wild plant đ regretting it
Can you do the same thing with tomatillo plants?
Yes đ
Lots of that cape gooseberries here in the Philippines,i saw it on the side of the road and the forest,i thought its poisonous
Are these the same thing as ground cherries/inca berries? I bought some from plant world seeds and they are just beginning to sprout. Plan to over-winter them indoors, as they will still be quite young when our temp begins to drop.
Yes, but there are a few types, especially if you're in the Americas. Cape Gooseberry is Physalis peruviana
I was thinking of growing these next year. Arenât some perennial?
All are perennial if your winters are warm. If it dips to freezing or below the cold can knock them out. It's the same case for chilis, tomatoes, and other tropical edibles.
Where do you live if you have need a south facing window. Just curious as you mentioned New Zealand worms
This is Jenick, I'm from Kerala, India. We have Frostless winter climate here, is it ok to propagate like this and planting it outside under sun?
Cuttings grow best in warm, indirect light, with plenty of humidity. Once established and growing well, you can plant outside. Also, research whether a plant grows well I your climate first. Many temperate climate plant would sulk or die in hot Indian sun.
I germinated golden berry from grocery store bought berries. So far no flowers yet. Will it produces golden berry same as parents? The fruit is from Carribean.
Hard to say, but you could be in luck!
