    This was excellent. Thanks. Using those disposable plastic greens and cake cases as little greenhouses--so obvious, but I never thought of it before. Amazing.

    I did cuttings for the first time too recently... 11 San Jose juniper cuttings rooted (out of 20) and 1 fuyu persimmon cutting rooted (out of 2)
    Can’t wait until they get big 🙏🙌

    Hey doc just a suggestion but try aloe for cuttings, just cut a leaf of and aloe plant and dip the stems or leaf in the goo. Roots in a week, and it works for grafts to it you goo the joint both sides it will take much quicker. But I put some sort or wrap on it the goo makes it very slippery so stabilization will be needed. Like the video though never knew you can get cuttings from leaves. So much to learn, thanks for teaching

  • @oldguygardening2562
    @oldguygardening2562 Před 6 lety +2

    Other propagation videos say the cut at the top should be the angle cut because a square cut on top holds water.

    • @VitorMadeira
      @VitorMadeira Před 5 lety

      It depends a bit. If one is cutting a grown up tree then one should do it with a 45 degree angle. The larger the diameter, the the more you need to worry on angle the cut.
      With small diameter cuttings, the wound will heal fast so you won't expect any problems with water or moisture.

    I rooted a Sycamore tree cutting once it took 3 months I had 5 cuttings only 1 rooted. I used powder on them. I got poplar and willow cuttings and Birch and Locust I dipped them in willow water and powder to give them extra kick to help them root.

    If you were to use a salad container to propagate, does the salad container need to have hole puntured into it to airflow? Could you put a diffuser into the grow room to raise the humidity levels? Also is mold growth an issue?

    About the grafting part, the root was from an apple tree but from what kind of tree was the other stem ? 🤔😄

    • @fishby8070
      @fishby8070 Před 4 lety

      the scion is where the connection is. The bottom tree usually grows fast and the top part is probably an apple that produces good crop.

    so it's only necessary to spray the air of the plants to maintain high humidity, what about wetting the soil when putting them in?

  • @DunhillX1
    @DunhillX1 Před 9 lety +5

    Thanks for sharing your info. Is it necessary to dip cuttings into hormone powder before planting? Do you think I would have success if I just placed the cutting directly into the soil? Thanks!

    • @Hayden-rc1ru
      @Hayden-rc1ru Před 9 lety +2

    • @shawntannehill
      @shawntannehill Před 9 lety +3

      Captain Coco You can but it will be really hard to get it to root without the hormone. It also will take a lot longer.

    • @DunhillX1
      @DunhillX1 Před 9 lety

      Zontar Zee Thank you for you reply! Most of my cuttings do ok but unfortunately this one didn't make it. I appreciate your response and will keep it in mind for next time :-)

    • @DunhillX1
      @DunhillX1 Před 9 lety

      Shawn Tannehill Thank you for reply! It didn't make it but I will try again this time with hormones as I think this particular plant needs them. Thanks again :-)

    When you propagating cuttings how long do have to leave them for, before they start rooting
    (woody plants)

    • @tayh3645
      @tayh3645 Před 5 lety +2

      I know it's an old comment so you've probably long since found your answer, just answering for future viewers with the same question: It all depends on the time of year and the type of plant. Easy to root plants like willow, horsetail reeds, or serissa can begin showing rudimentary roots as early as 5 days after being cut. Obviously not significant enough roots to support the plant, but they will 'technically' have started making roots. Other plants can take much longer. Evergreens are usually a bit longer to root, if they can root at all. Pines are notoriously difficult to root, and even the 'easy' ones can still take 6 months before they root. The type of cutting can also affect the speed. Softwood cuttings typically root the fastest, they have to otherwise they wilt and die quickly. For this reason though not all plants can be propagated through softwood cuttings. Hardwood cuttings can still have high success rates. *nearly 100% for certain plants like willows, red twig dogwoods, forsythia and chaenomeles. But take several months to root (usually all winter long) semihardwood cuttings tend to be the most 'broad spectrum' method with a decent majority of plants being able to be propagated that way with about medium success rates. This is where you will see the most disparity between rooting times per species with some taking only 2-3 weeks and some up to 6 months.

    • @michaeldick3481
      @michaeldick3481 Před 8 lety

      I take cuttings from the tree I want to graft in February and graft them to the root stock the first part of April. I usually get about an 80% success rate. You can order root stock from several companies, or in my area, the local county extension service orders root stock so I buy mine from them.

    @bigdickpornsuperstar Před 6 lety +1

    But "WHY" would you need to splice a cutting onto the root stock of an existing plant.
    Why not just use the existing plant instead of cutting to top off of it?

      Jerry VanNuys
      I think he was just doing that as an example of how to graft not what trees to use together. I hoped he'd cover what trees to use. I think it has something to do with disease resistance and a few other things. But yeah, pretty sure he was just grafting a tree onto it's own stem, just to show how to graft.

    • @KromeDragon
      @KromeDragon Před 5 lety +1

      He should of explained. What you do is you take the rootstock of a young seedling that will probably take 5-10 years to fruit naturally and but the cyon of a tree that's already fruiting to make the young tree fruit by the next season

    Talk about propagating. Our friend had some kind of plant, vine or weed invade their yard from the neighbor's house. They cut it out with a mower and it shot everywhere. Now this plant has destroyed their whole garden with roots that go down several feet. Forgot the name of that plant though.

    • @shnbwmn
      @shnbwmn Před 7 lety

      We aren't exactly the green finger type, but a year or two ago I went to the back to do some much-needed weeding and discovered a horrid infestation of a thorny, thin, hugging fern (for lack of a better description). I knew better than to cut the tops off though - got a spade and dug each of those bastards out. They propagate quickly via runners and formed massive root systems at each node. I think if I hadn't done the gruelling de-weeding task then, they'd have taken over by now. I blame the neighbours!

    • @s70rk
      @s70rk Před 6 lety

      Yeah, sounds like they did some mass propagation! Also sounds like poison ivy/hedera. Very easy to propagate, almost TOO easy.... as in, it happens by accident and ruins gardens.

    A bad video in my opinion. Its fun to see what he does to propagate that particular leaf or stick, but no explanation why, on which type of plants to apply what technique, no explanation on why to cut it diagonally (its not to remember which side is the top). Good luck propagating your hibiscus, or wwhat ever plant, at home
