Plant Propagation 101 #9 | Does Bottom Heat Help Cuttings Root Faster?
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 02. 2023
- Finally! Another episode of Plant Propagation 101. Since it's winter, I figured We'd address one of the most important tools for rooting hardwood cuttings, bottom heat. Does bottom heat help cuttings root faster? Absolutely! Bottom heat can greatly speed up the cellular activity at the root zone and get your cuttings rooting faster and more assuredly. If you haven't played around with putting bottom heat under your hardwood cuttings, then seriously consider trying it and you'll be amazed at the results.

All I want to say to people who is trying to propagate their plants is: use bottom heat, use rooting hormone and keep the humidity and you’ll see how your cuttings start to rooting, this video is amazing by the way. 😊
Thanks Andres!
Oh my. I've grown weeping willows from cuttings. They grow so easy. I have always loved weeping willows. I am going to plant one this fall I hope. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks so much!
Mike, you always inspire me to propagate something I've never tried before! Thank you for your generosity and knowledge on growing a wide variety of plants from cuttings! I purchased one of the large boot warmer mats when you talked about it several years ago, and it was a total game-changer. I hope you and your sweet family are having a wonderful week! ~Margie🤗🌱🌺
Hey Margie, good to hear from you! Yep, doing well here and looking forward to spring.
Mike, your gardening tips are the easiest and the best.thank you very must.my roses sends hello ❤.
You are very welcome
I'm sorry - I can't quit laughing - that rooster!!! LOL Love it. That mat - I could heat my shoes/boots and use it for rooting too. Oh yeah.
In my experience most cuttings do best outside in shade , using heat only triggers figs and other fall plants to start putting out leaves early and heat causes rot and root rot so the heat is best for already rooted plants indoors over winter! My cuttings start outside and once they root I bring them inside in a temp and humidity controlled room with a 1000w mh lamp and I get 6ft of growth a month during winter on my fig cuttings so by spring I've topped the cuttings apexs many times to make a perfectly balanced high nodule per sq ft fig tree than than grows 6 feet outside during spring and summer, much slower than indoor in perfect conditions and 18 hrs of direct light a day but during that time the indoor growth lignifies and I get the highest fig yields possible on 1st yr fig cuttings! Figs definitely the top 5 easiest fruiting plants to root and grow! :) also I agree with everything you say in the vid I was just giving my experience and I dont recomend growing non tropical plants indoors cause most non tropical plants do best outside. Figs are dessert and tropical plants so they do incredible but any vines(all vines are understory shade loving plants) , they cant handle the direct light at all and indoor conditions will just end them!
Big Mike, you're the best !
I like that rooster! 🤣🤣🤣 Go Henry, made my day. Good to see you my friend 🤗🤗❤️
That's going to be fun! Can't wait! Hugs to you and your girls 🤗
LOL, he's taking up Johnny's baton lately.
Yes 😅, I was thinking the same!
Now I have to start root cuttings with heat mat, to make that different temperature. I had better success in spring/summer simply just stick in ground in my garden, grapes, figs, willow, even Bradford invasive pear, I used it for rootstock, without rooting hormone, with proper watering and it’s growing. This winter I see leaves start growing first, no roots yet
Have I told you how much I’m diggin this series?!?
Very clear and succinct info in using bottom heat. By the way, I friggen love that Laurel series with the wood frame and tempered glass. One of your best instructional series, for sure.
Right on, maybe I'll do another one like it with a whole frame full of hydrangea. Been wanting to do that for awhile now.
@@MikeKincaid79 oh, don’t tease me, Brother! I’d love to go through that again.
LOL, it's funny you mention that you enjoyed that series of videos. They got views for sure, but weren't my most popular videos. Between you and me, they were in my top 10 list of all the videos I've done and probably my favorite series, as far as making them. I couldn't figure out why everyone else didn't feel the same way, lol. It's good to hear someone else liked them as much as me. I just love laurel and all the huge green leaves.
Mike i have been growing Leyland cypress trees for about 30 years and I ordered 2 of those heat pads and I ordered 2 more, thank you for all your videos.
thank you for this update video, this was helpful
Mike Kincaid 👏👏🇧🇷
After you first start seeing roots, how long do you leave them on bottom heat? Thanks again for another great video! 👏👏👏
Very happy to find this channel. Video about the benefits of botton heat for controlling plant roots, very useful and inspiring. Thank You. 🌿
Awesome, thank you!
Mr K
English laurel. I'm so happy you did this update. I'm not the only one to be over run with them 😂.
I love this plant but they aren't very forgiving if you miss a year, lol.
Good evening Mike, you shared your information about cutting propagate nice vlog thanks 😊
My pleasure
I love your content. I like the tips and tricks you give and the advice is pretty good. I've been trying grape cuttings on and off for about a year and I've only managed to make 8 rotten sticks tho... Maybe I should rewatch some of your vids lol.
Thanks! I've got a video about grape cuttings here: czcams.com/video/aLFvjIfuuDk/video.html I like to take them in the late winter/early spring.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks for the link. I must have missed this one. Keep doing what you're doing.
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
Bottom heat is key but you can over do it especially if you're in a dome. I like to use a tray between the heat mat and the tray with the plants to buffer the heat a bit. Love your videos ✌
Thanks for sharing your setup.
I sure have learned a lot from this video, thank you.
You're very welcome, Sayeh.
Here's a link to the heat mat I use: amzn.to/42isCZB and a really good rooting hormone gel that I use a lot in the spring and summer on softwood cuttings: amzn.to/3lg6E8Z I like the gel for easier to root, softwood, cuttings.
Fortunately where you live. You still have time on the English Laurel before spring hits. Thanks for the idea on the heat mat.
Yep, gotta get them out of the ground fast though. If I let them go one more year, they'll be lifting the hoop house off its foundation, haha.
Oh Mike 😂 at 10:05 - 11:03. Maybe you can left one there. Lol . .. like a remembered 🤣 it's good story to tell.
LOL, that would grow into a massive tree over time. Sounds like a cool idea.
Maybe. If you do then let be a tiny tree. Hehe
Oh we definitely need an experiment 🧪 🌵👍🏼
Coming right up!
Hahahahaha hello Henry!😅😂😂 Just won't be the same when he's gone. I bought 2 large heat mats and thermostats last year, they worked amazing! I set it to 65, and within 2-3 weeks most things were caloused acrossed the bottoms, and then I rotated the next set of toats. Man those English Laurals got huge. I know the feeling with all the projects going on and no time lol. I enjoyed this video, thanks for the update and stuff. And thanks for your time and knowledge.
You're welcome! Thanks for hanging out here on the channel. Yeah, that English Laurel has gotten completely out of control. I'm dreading and looking forward to dealing with them, all at the same time, haha.
My chin dropped when you did your update. I've let a plant or three root out of the pot and into the ground below. It wasn't any where near as bad as yours though. However it was such a pain in my bottom heat. Good luck cleaning it all up.
Haha, yeah thanks. It's definitely a mess. I'll get it shaped up though.
Thanks for this. I’m about to try rooting about 30 fig cuttings to put in an espalier fence line and I have been debating if bottom heat would help or not.
It seems like as soon as I have a rooting question pop into my head you make a video answering that question! So thanks! 😂
No problem! Yeah, bottom heat is amazing for getting those hardwood cuttings to root.
Hey Mike, as always great info, thank you! I was wondering if you would ever do a propagation video with blue spruce cuttings! I know it’s a long process, but I’ve failed a couple times over this year and would love some tips!
I'd love to try it. Just need to find the time. I'll write it down and do my best to get on that one.
Gotta love Henry😄
He's the coolest rooster!
maaann that heat mat for the green giants alone is worth its weight in GOLD! oh jah bless! i wouldn't be surprised to see the 1 gallon green giants next to the laurel be the next plants to take over the hoop house. 😂
Haha, no kidding. I need to get those things out of there too.
Thanks love😊
You’re welcome 😊
You and that rooster! 🤣🤣I love it!😂😂
Lol
Oh My god they have grown like a giant, and thank you Mr Mike for this video of course the heat mat is VERY useful through the winter "especially now with this unbelievably unpredictable weather" thanks again Mr Mike
(and i PROMISE YOU i'm gonna send you a lot of pictures from different angle of the figs I've got in my building's garden "they are in the ground from like 50 years ago and i'm not kidding" anyways when spring hits and they start to show their leaves i'm gonna send you the pics and maybe a short video "via email" i don't know but I'm going to do it)
I'd love to see it!
You can build an above-ground walipini! You only need to push mounds of dirt up around the edges of the greenhouse about 4 feet high and a couple of feet thick. Another great option is to put your compost piles up against the walls to help keep it warm. I saw one guy did this and ran 6" tubes through the compost and used a fan to circulate the air. He was somewhere like Montana where it gets really cold. This works great for hydric soil areas.
I know we talked about walipinis before and you wanted one but said your water level was too high and it would turn into a pool at times.
Yeah, I love those structures. At some point, I'm going to have some form of a greenhouse. Just haven't gotten that far yet. On another note, we just got our building permit so my time will be taken up by that for awhile. Things are already moving fast!
@@MikeKincaid79 Congratulations! That is awesome.
Does incompletely decomposed compost provide sufficient bottomheat as i used this to insulate roses, lilacs and numerous other perennials for 27years to survive winters that approach -30dsgrees fahrenheit
I just bought a heat mat that keeps the degree 10' above the current temp. It works.
Right on, Celeste!
Thanks for the video, I’ve been watching yours for years (and some other channels) as up-potting entertainment down here in my Oregon nursery.
The one thing you said I wasn’t so sure about in this video (but maybe I misinterpreted what you were saying) is the 10 degrees warmer than growing space air temperature thing. I believe that is based on a study that showed the same growth rate using bottom heat with a 10 degree lower air temperature. However, I do not recall it saying that giving bottom heat beyond that is of no benefit or harmful (but is possibly a waste of electricity). I would think that may also be species dependent. I keep my propagation greenhouse at about 60F and heat pads at 72F and it works well. However, I do have a couple spare heat pads I am now thinking of running a 75F and 80F experiment with.
I've rooted fig cuttings with bottom heat in the 90's and ambient temps in the 40's. They rooted in 4 days.
Wow that’s fast, definitely time for me to start that experiment. I’ve been running bottom heat only in my hot house. Now I’m tempted to run some bottom heat in one of my cold houses just to see what happens. Thought about a small hoop over the bench to retain some heat in the canopy as well but worried about foliar diseases.
Oh that rooster has fantastic timing but because he's so pretty you have to forgive Henry Those trees are definitely large I had to laugh when I saw how tall they are You should just move the hoop house and leave them there ...easy fix 🥴🥴 it's been so long since Shelly put out a video I'm having withdrawal please post a new video 💖 maybe something around the house 😻 I'll try rooting as your tutorial I don't have much luck because my cats get into everything . Your Rhodes should be blooming soon can't wait to see all the fantastic colours hoping you do a quick showing of them 🇨🇦🦩
I keep working on Shellie. She's just busy with the kids but I tell her every time someone says they miss her videos, lol. Yes! The rhododendrons will be blooming soon! Another couple weeks to a month and I'll have the first blooms.
I have a bunch of carefully rooted cuttings from last summer under 40 cm of snow.
The very thought of their current condition fills me with anxiety.
Maybe this video will put you at ease: czcams.com/video/wSIb8XuO5is/video.html
I have some dwarf loropetalum that I've tried and failed to propagate for a couple years now 😥. Do you think bottom heat would help? Maybe I'm trying to take cuttings at the wrong time...
Zsmart we in to Caribbean do not have to do that
No, I suppose not.
a word from your sponsor rooster? love it.
Haha, he was right on schedule.
All you rooster and chicken keepers should be advised to obtain cuttings or dig divisions of catmint as I did for my godmother to repel bugs and other carriers of avian flu all spring and summer
🙂
So Mike, have you used heat in your nearing frames ? I was going to when I built mine a few years back but didn;t do it. I have numerous cuttings from last spring and fall in my frame and we're still getting snow and freezing temps in the South Sound.
Yep, I've built all my Nearing frames with bottom heat. Even when it's well below freezing, the heat keeps my rhododendron cuttings in the 40's and 50's. We've had a weird week with all this snow and hail. I hope the freezing temps weren't too hard on the figs. Looking forward to spring and you can't beat the PNW in the spring.
I have had several hard wood cutting like fig..gardenia. in water. In the greenhouse all winter. Callousing is present. No roots.. can i put in dirt. Bottom heat. Maybe go on and root ?
Yes, get them in a rooting medium.
Mike, let's do fruit seed propagation, cherry,apricot raspberry blackberry blueberry...
Your wish is my command.
Yes!
if i’m propagating an indoor plant, would it be a good idea to place it in my shower room so that it can receive humidity? or is that too hot for it to handle? I have it in my living room at the moment at low indirect light and just started it today. Thanks!!
A humid bathroom is a great place for propagating houseplants.
I cut some fruit trees to propagate and i forgot about them and it has been a week now and the leaves on the cuttings are dried up. will the stems still propagate or am i too late to start?
Hard to say, from where I'm sitting. What fruit tree? What's your climate like? How developed is the new growth?
Hi again. I’m sure you’ve spoken about this, but what are your average winter low temperatures? I’m thinking being just below the tropic of Capricorn, that bottom heat might encourage fungi growth.
We seldom get down to freezing even in midwinter.
I'm in zone 8b, western Washington State. We have a fairly mild climate that usually sticks around the 30'sF through the winter but it dips down into the teens at least once or twice for a few days.
Have you propagated magnolias or oak leaf hydrangeas? I tried a few times using the methods I’ve learned from you, but was unsuccessful.
I plan to do videos on this at some point. I'm currently working on a video about panicle hydrangeas. I do have an oak leaf hydrangea but I'm waiting for it to get bigger so I can take cuttings.
I like your videos but you should really translate to celcius too if using primarily fahrenheit, as I have no idea what on earth these numbers mean without googling them...
I hear you loud and clear. I just have no understanding of celcius and would have to really study the different conversions to understand what I was saying.
Cool video Mike or is it warm 😅
Haha, there's Mark, always coming through, lol. I just got a question about my mulberries this morning and had to go watch your video again about the 2 I sent you. Got a dose of Mark and Ghost this morning, lol. I still can't believe how much more those mulberry grew in your area vs mine. Those pumpkins are making me nervous, hahaha.
@@MikeKincaid79 lol
Yeah I think this pumpkin might just squash you if you don't watch out. Lol
lol
Mike, when will you be rooting some camellias?
Not sure but it’s been on my list for a very long time.
Your content is getting really repetitive, man. I like your personality, but you're making the same video over and over again now. If you want to grow your channel, you need to pivot into something else. Reactions, commentary, I don't know. But you've made this video like 10 times already.
Good to know, thanks for the feedback. What kind of videos do you want to see?
@@MikeKincaid79 I think most of your subscribers stick around because they like you. Sure, I found you because I was in a plant propagation phase, but I stayed for your personality. So you have something that 99% of us don't have, charisma. But at this point, you're wasting it on the same videos. I know you have a passion for plants, but your channel isn't going to grow any more with the same stuff all the time. Maybe try a second channel where you do something else. Vlogs? Kind of out of favor now, but maybe. Reactions? Sure, it's a lame way to use other people's content, but tons of people seem to like it. Commentary? Don't know if you have opinions on current events or anything. Or maybe the more filmography type stuff like Ryan Trahan, Mrbeast, etc. But that requires a lot of creativity and a love of film making. I don't know, man. Just my opinion for what it's worth. But you have about 383,000 subscribers more than I ever will, so what do I know?
You know a lot, being the viewer, and I value your input. I've felt exactly what you are saying for awhile now. I've made some videos over the past year that were not plant related but things I was interested in or thought others might like, such as the excavator videos. Those videos get almost no response though, and it seems that when I post something outside of plants, it doesn't get promoted. I've got many other interests and have wanted to branch out more for awhile now. Maybe I'll slowly start doing different videos. I really do appreciate the feedback and take it all into consideration. Thanks for being here!
@@MikeKincaid79 You'd need to start a new channel or it would actually hurt you. Your videos get recommended to people who watch plant videos, so they won't click on non-plant videos. With a new channel, the algorithm will learn who to put the videos in front of.
@@MikeKincaid79 MORE PROPOGATION VIDEOS! haha m8, you're not repetitive. i'll never get sick of seeing how jacked you get over seeing root growth. jah bless!
You're good care of 5 million of roots, plants 🪴, keeping growing up, you need big greenhouse!😉👍🪴🏞
