Buxus is some or my favourite type of hedge to grow and cut! So simple and easy to work with. Older branches are generally with the darker green leaves and they'll be slightly stronger than the newer branches. Quite simple to tell by touch. When striped your cutting's the best thing to use to encourage rooting is not rooting powder or something you can buy from hardware store, it's actually honey. Because honey is natural and provides many benefits and protection to new roots. Well, enjoy rooting everyone. Take care and stay safe
Nicely done. I also rigged up an automated watering system with a hodge podge of parts of amazon. Best thing ever. Here's my question though - when you do these cuttings at some point they need to go into the ground. How do you go about separating the plants and getting them in the ground without damage to the root system? Thanks!
hank you for your comment. Sorry for late reply. I usually separate and transplant into ground in the spring. There is no time limitation though. At least in Florida, there isn't. It can be done anytime during the year. Just remove from the pot, separate the individual ones or group of them, usually three, and transfer to the ground.
Someone else asked this question but I wasn't clear on your answer. How do I keep the cuttings alive the first winter with freezing snow? I have a row of privets I want to extend. I don't have any rooms with full sun. How far apart do I plant individual cuttings in the ground in the spring? This was a great video! I harvested some seeds and I'm going to try that this winter. Next year I'll attempt cuttings.
Sorry for the late reply. I live in Florida and have no experience with freezing weather, however, I believe during the winter you can keep your cuttings in a small greenhouse available on amazon.com. I looked at the following link. you can select among many. www.amazon.com/dp/B005HTQERW/ref=sxr_pa_click_within_right_4?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2795410502&pf_rd_r=1FHF4CCEC2GRZHFJ25C5&pd_rd_wg=EOJee&pf_rd_s=desktop-rhs-carousels&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_w=Ctf1D&pf_rd_i=greenhouse&pd_rd_r=V3RAQXGPX0JKS5CKKD61&psc=1 When planting in the ground, the standard distance is 3 feet. I usually plant them 2 feet apart for a denser result.
Sorry for the delay to answer. If it is very cold just keep the cuttings in a controlled environment like a container covered with a transparent nylon. Usually you plant them in the ground 3 feet apart.
I need to fill a gap in my privet hedge if i take some cuttings now which seems to be the best time how long do i leave them in the plant pot before i transplant them to the gap in the hedge. Many Thanks Stuart
3 months on a window sill spray every three days with a light spray of water to keep the plants moisturised the leaves need to be kept cool this is the reason for leaf loss overheating leaves, keep the plants covered so that the humidity remains high around the leaves. don't worry if you see roots forming above the soil it happens sometimes. The guy in the video is removing to many leaves leave a minimum of four leaves on the plant. when you take the cuttings initially have a jar of water ready to put the plants into straight away from cutting this stops the stems drying out and increases the chances of the roots taking later on. water them in for the first time with miracle grow plant feeder.
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to see my video. Sorry it took me so long to answer your question. Early spring is the best time to transfer the plant to the ground. Good Luck Mason
Hi, I live in New York and was curious if I start cuttings now, in late summer early fall, how do I keep them through winter so they can be ready in Spring? Thanks!
Hi, this is a good time to start cuttings. Be sure to keep the leaves moist. Start twice as many that you need. After a month, the ones that stay green will have taken. Then you can keep them in the sun and water 2-3 times a week. They will be as tall as about 12 inches by springs when you can transfer them to ground. Good Luck
+Mason Balouchian Thanks for the replay! Second question, when you have four transplants in a put do you plant the entire pot into the ground or is each stem a different set of hedges?
If they are not entangle together, just go ahead and thin them out into four different pots. Otherwise, keep them together when transplanting into ground.
+Heist Silence Well I have tried it in different seasons with more success during fall and winter. Probably it is the rate of evaporation during cooler months and also the rate of growth which is faster during spring and summer and without a rooting system the cutting does not get enough nutrition and dies during spring and early summer.
Spring and summer is the growing season, therefore the cutting tries to grow leaves while it does not have any roots, however, fall and winter are the dormant season and the cuttings and the plants are resting while growing roots.
Sorry for the delay to respond. I do not have any experience in the cold weather, yet I believe if you buy one those small green houses on Amazon, they could help you to grow through the cold season. They are as are as low as about $28.
Thank you so much, Mr. Balouchian. You illuminate a mystery with your gentle and clear discourse.

Can you please give some tips on when how and to transfer them once they grow? Great video. Can't wait to give it a try.

What is the point for cutting the top leaves?
I need to fill a gap in my privet hedge if i take some cuttings now which seems to be the best time how long do i leave them in the plant pot before i transplant them to the gap in the hedge. Many Thanks Stuart

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to see my video.
Sorry it took me so long to answer your question.
Early spring is the best time to transfer the plant to the ground.
Good Luck

Until next spring. They have to grow to a hight of at least 2-3 feet.

If they are not entangle together, just go ahead and thin them out into four different pots. Otherwise, keep them together when transplanting into ground.
Can you immediately replant in the hedge?
After you thin them out and they grow strong roots which might take a few months, you can transfer them to the ground.
Why not spring or early summer? I have been trying to root cuttings this spring...not have any success. Thanks

Why is spring the worst time to take cuttings?
Great lesson! Hey! There's a kettle whistling at the end of the video! Your water is boiling!
Well that is the sound of irrigation system.
what do I do with them in the cold Canadian winter please
Sorry for the delay to respond.
I do not have any experience in the cold weather, yet

I will put them down in the basement and sem how they thank you for your reply
