Cutting Propagation Simplified: For Limited Time & Small Space!

[@johnmccrae1102]

Veronica you back.Best news for ages.Love it

[@Omegawerewolfx]

I've been using sand for decades to ward off fungus gnats and spider mites. And a smal fan blowing across the plants, now using a USB fan. It's awesome. I bottom water too.

[@richierich3194]

It's so great to see you back love everything you do hope you stick with it🌱🌍👍

[@susanjohnson705]

Glad to see you are back online. I learn a lot each time I view

[@darrellluck7230]

So glad to see you doing more videos. They are always so informative. Your bright and uplifting attitude and your beautiful smile make it all the more enjoyable. For your creekside erosion, consider bamboo. The native "river cane" (Arundinaria gigantea) would do a good job for you. I suggest that particular one because you are planting many native species. I grow that and 35 other bamboo species on my homestead. Come have a look if you are ever near Cookeville, TN. What are all the green papers stuck to your fridge and cabinet doors? Don't tell me all that is your to-do list !!! Have a great day!

[@VeronicaFlores]

Thanks! I was looking at doing native willow but there’s also some native river cane nearby to play with. And the green squares are paint samples! The brown lists on the opposite side are my to-do 😅

[@trevorjohn3632]

Love the kitchen, the start and end of a process all in one place.

[@markcarey5673]

Good to see you back. Good luck in your new home.

[@dfhepner]

The sand at the bottom and top of pots is a great idea. Thanks

[@thc2112]

Glad to see you dialing in your plant powers again happy planting

[@SPWfishybuisness]

Great to see you back! Great vid!

[@rogaineablar5608]

Nice to see you back after your breakj!

[@lanceyarish1809]

Veronica you have helped me learn how to propagate trees from your videos. Thank you. I always enjoy watching your cheery attitude. I wish more folk were like you.

[@TheHappyGardener]

So good to see a new video 😀👍

[@wayneu1233]

I've had success using this technique with fig, burning bush, aucuba and forsythia. I pot up the cuttings in the fall and put them in my basement over winter where the temperature is a steady 58-64F. I haven't gotten yew or rhododendron to propagate this way yet, but I'm not giving up!

[@stacewizer]

I came out to Tennessee over a year ago. It's a nice place to grow plants.

[@davidexton877]

Added to watch later. Been a busy day.

[@rogerspaulding6569]

Always a joy ❤

[@rockyusa2012]

I also use sand on top to stop the knats. It works great.

[@albertvanlingen7590]

Gordon Ramsay would be very confused looking at this kitchen 🤣 Great to see you back making videos 🥳🎉

[@VeronicaFlores]

He’d be pretty pleased with the amount of ingredients though! 😄

[@akbychoice]

He isn’t happy unless he is complaining.

[@frankfurder3742]

V.F. videos are awesome, I have learned a lot from them. and now I am starting my seeds for tomatos, Peppers, onions, and more. I do a lot of grow bag gardening with 15 and 10 gal grow bags.. They do great.. Thanks Veronica

[@Alex-io3tu]

You are so pretty, love your videos!

[@truthbetold2611]

Hope you're doing well at your new property

[@defaultuser1447]

Enjoyed the two new videos today. Great information as always.

[@danielt3897]

I will be trying propagating for the first time this weekend. I'll be attempting a few pear cuttings and several muscadines.

[@PegsGarden]

Yay!!! So awesome to see you Veronica!! I follow you on Instagram and have learned so much

[@runnomore2243]

Great information. I always learn from your videos.

[@JaywalkingTheWorld]

Really well done. Thanks.

[@jamesnewberry1191]

Thanks for everything !

[@hallpaintandbody7717]

My plumb trees had a couple broken limbs from shipping. I took those cuttings and put in a pot.

[@thegeniusofthecrowd354]

Really useful thanks! I'd be interested in a vid on how to post bare root trees for when I start selling if you've any thoughts? Cheers.

[@VeronicaFlores]

Do you mean mailing them? I haven’t done any trees yet, but I’m getting REALLY good at young seedlings (it’s labor intensive but cost effective)

[@donbirkholz6842]

Love black currant jam

[@cobrachicken07]

I love your channel. Sand and all 😂

[@VeronicaFlores]

Oh man that sand was a doozy! So hard to clean up 😅

[@shakoorsoomro6592]

👍👍👍Awesome👍👍👍

[@MathQOfQ]

How long does it take for the roots to start growing? What sort of success rate do you get with cuttings this way?

[@VeronicaFlores]

About 2 months for them to be really solid if you can hold temps above 60°F or so, possibly faster warmer, success depends as much on patience and how gentle you are with moving the cuttings as it does what plant material and time of year - I had 80-100% on figs and elderberries this way but then killed half of the elderberries transplanting roughly (the roots are very fragile for the first few months) because I felt short on time and didn’t water them enough in the weeks that followed 🥲 Still happy having like 3 out of 10, because I can propagate from there!

[@mikesfarmmikesfarm3977]

I have 4 month old sweet 100s tomato plants growing now. I live in central florida so cherry toms can grow thru the heat into the fall. I just ordered some everglades cherry tomato seeds. To save time, after the new seedlings get 4 true leaves any reason I could not cut them off their roots and graft them onto a similar diameter sucker on 4 month old cherry tom plant ?

[@VeronicaFlores]

I don’t see why not, but I probably would graft them to a main stem rather than a sucker, depending on what your goals are

[@billywerner4254]

When you cot the tops off your pepper plants, can you re-grow the cuttings?

[@VeronicaFlores]

Yes

[@rafaymustafa5109]

are u from canada?

[@rodneyb7918]

Would you consider selling cuttings? It would provide a extra cash and it would be a great side hustle

[@VeronicaFlores]

I’m definitely considering doing it locally with a few things! And maybe a few others via mail, we’ll see

[@antondavidoff150]

she is pretty

[@richardphillips-m6r]

how often do you water cuttings?

[@VeronicaFlores]

As they feel dry - if the soil is properly hydrated and the top is bagged, I’ll often go a month or more before watering (ambient temperature 70-80F)

[@saksija1987]

girl where have you been all this time?

[@VeronicaFlores]

Life dude 😅

[@johnwarfield7742]

Perhaps Diatomaceous earth would help!

[@VeronicaFlores]

It can, but once it gets wet you have to add more - sand will still work with water so I’m happy with it (plus I have a spot I can scoop it from for free near my creek 😬)

[@rodneyb7918]

When taking cuttings, dip your pruners in alcohol after every cutting. So as ot to transfer diseases.

[@VeronicaFlores]

I actually do a diluted bleach wipe for working with diseased plants, but I don’t take cuttings from them ever

[@lightdark00]

We need to know more about these elusive fartichokes. 🤓

[@VeronicaFlores]

I get in so much trouble for calling them that 🤣

[@terancebailey4175]

I alwas need more education. Thank you.

[@mikefarmer7653]

Hope your Well........

[@Javi_One-fv6ic]

I have almost no luck propagating,, and i use different rooting hormone powders, gells. And you have luck and with no rooting hormone.

[@VeronicaFlores]

Check your soil moisture and location temperature - those are usually the two biggest hurdles

[@luispacheco6807]

Veronica is a beautiful lady.

[@lightdark00]

For fungus being scratched, to me that's pretty illogical. My theory is evolution has led it to fear high sand levels as they are near a water environment.

[@VeronicaFlores]

I’m not sure I follow? Fungus gnats LOVE water environments

[@lightdark00]

@@VeronicaFlores Different strokes for different funguses and fauna. 🤷‍♂️

[@thewalkingcrow8946]

I would like to apologize to you. When you started I was one of your greatest supporters. We talked about stuff we both dealt with. But after my mom had a stroke... I became angry. And I took it badly. It wasn't your fault... but I said things in ... distraught that I regret. So I would like to say I am sorry.

[@thewalkingcrow8946]

The only thing I would add to this is that when I do pomegranate cuttings is that I take the absolute smallest ones. The bigger ones tend to fail.

[@VeronicaFlores]

I appreciate that - I try to go with the thought that I never know what battles someone else is fighting. I’m also very protective of my energetic boundaries. I hope you are feeling a lot more at peace. 🙏🏼
