Just a dark drawer in my office desk. It’s about 70 degrees year round.

Something I should have mentioned when I made this tutorial is the importance of making sure the stems are healthy. This is based on speculation since I cannot see the cuttings but I would guess they might have been treated and so I would recommend soaking them under water for 10 minutes before starting the process of preparing the cuttings. When you make cuts you’ll want to look closely at the edge near the bark. This is the cambium. When you get familiar with what healthy cambium looks like you’ll spot rot. If there’s any rot in the cuttings you need to remove the rot and make sure the visible ends are healthy material. The cambium is going to be important for transporting water to the leaves and turning into roots. If it’s rotten or starting to decay it won’t be effective at moving water and turning into roots. If the cuttings/flowers are relatively new and appear to be healthy they should be easily rooted. If they are not healthy they won’t root. A soda bottle can be useful but you have to be careful because if the stems are starting to rot the bottle will accelerate the rot and make a great environment for mold.

@thechaosgardener Thankyou so much for the detailed explanation! Cheers!

I would add some hydroponic nutrient solution. They might have leaf miners or a fungal issue. I’ve had both of those things happen. I like to root my slips in my aerogardens

They are like $20 at goodwill. How much was your phone

Yup exactly. Cripple competition but still allow the fungus to develop a strong immune system

Yeah it’s so weird how some trees drop their leaves right away and others hold them for so long. I wonder what causes that

Yes, I made a playlist with my passionfruit adventures kzbin.info/aero/PLqxywGFAWEurjFtX15EBDaIUWD5cfqB0o&feature=shared

Nice work! Yeah you only get grape flowers from the previous years developed wood. If you accidentally remove all of the previous years wood you get no grapes. It’s common after a hard pruning to get no fruit because you probably removed the last two years worth of wood. Once you prune in light of this idea it helps. Best of luck!

Yeah I think most people would say manti here I just don’t plan what I’m going to say before I start recording and pretty much just start recording first and think about what I want to say while rolling

Nice work! Save a lot because some will be male and some female

@thechaosgardener yes I will.. I hear the males are harder to keep alive is this right?

In a pot they are hard to keep alive. I feel like putting them in the ground with mulch is the easiest way to

@@thechaosgardener yea I plan to put up like growing grapes.. good to know not to use pots for male plants. Thank you for a great video.

Thanks for the support! Means a lot to me to know people are watching and benefiting

It’s illegal with vegetative propagation. Growing from seed like I did is not vegetative propagation so it’s not legally protected because the resulting varieties will be genetically different. The fruits taste slightly different as well but I’m alright with that. They are just not technically Zespri kiwis. They are chaos kiwis

@ interesting I never would assume their plants would be propagated I guess because of the genetic similarity could mean that they could all be wiped out learn something new everyday

Sometimes you can promote suckering of a grafted apple tree and clone the rootstock clones that sucker up. In my opinion local wild type varieties are best. Seek or iNaturalist marks gps locations of plants so you might be able to identify the location of a plant you want to “clone”. Just be careful about trespassing :) I found a local passiflora incarnata at a local park using this method and was able to forage some fruit (and seeds)

@@thechaosgardener I'm going to be on the lookout for fruit trees and stuff to graft. Loving your content and the channel.

Yeah they sprouted. I had 3 sprouts/seedling vines. I sold that house in 2022 and got more land.

Haha yeah that was dangerous. Not recommended. It was an experiment. At the time I made this video none of my videos was getting more than 10 or so views so I was experimenting with how to “hit the algorithm”

I have a manual cranked juicer that separates the juice. You don’t want the seeds or the twigs

They foul up the flavor and make it taste like Kale. I don’t think it would necessarily be unsafe in small amounts after cooking but it will make it taste bad at least.

I did mine in June and it worked great. I bet you can do it anytime if you take the cuttings indoors

Thanks, yeah I’ll probably leave the door open in the summer. It’s also shaded in the summer by a black walnut tree that loses its leaves in the winter and lets a lot of light in. I’m hoping that helps balance the summer sun

Nice! It’s grows great in aerogardens as well. I love it. Not sure why it’s not more popular here.

Oops thanks :) nice catch. It’s fixed

Just have to be careful not to touch my eyes 😂

@ that’s one lesson I learned the hard way 😆

I was shocked too.... WOW!!!!!

Great!

Only locally. I don’t like dealing with shipping. I’m in Missouri
