Taking Cuttings of 'Jane' Magnolia - Propagating a Deciduous Magnolia

This time of year is an excellent time to start making more plants with plant propagation. Today I took some cuttings of a Magnolia x 'Jane' which is a deciduous magnolia that grows best in plant hardiness zones 4-7. Jane is often called a "Tulip Tree" due to its tulip like flowers that bloom in the Spring.
Our original plant came from a layered branch cuttings at my in-laws house and today is about 8 feet tall. For this video I took 15 cuttings of the'Jane' magnolia and snuck in 3 cuttings of Oak Leaf hydrangeas. Why not?
I've not rooted 'Jane' magnolias before and thought now would be a good time to try it. Hopefully in 6 to 8 weeks I'll be able to share the results with you.

Great show❤

I have had my Magnolia Jane for 10 years in my zone 4 nearly zone 3 location in western Wisconsin. A few years ago we had a winter with 59 days with below zero temps. She almost didn't make it but now she is fine. Easily my favorite tree.

[@Growingthehomegarden]

They are beautiful trees! I'm sure glad we don't ever see temperatures like that here in Tennessee!

[@wvalmostheaven4570]

I just found out i have one,my moms name was jane this tree is sacred to me now and im gonna fill the whole hill withem thanks

[@pc0086]

Do you have a follow up video from this one? I have a young Jane magnolia, would like to propagate to fill along my property line.

[@sconesandjam6533]

Yes I took would like to know of your results

[@bruh1129]

Bro this video slaps,me and my boys we’re gonna go commit crimes,but then we saw these videos and decided gardening was a better alternative to the street life

[@Growingthehomegarden]

A life without gardening would be criminal indeed.

[@carlosmartinez2540]

Man up real gangstas do both

[@ltaml7390]

Do you have a follow up to this video. Did the Jane Magnolia cuttings make it?

[@sandsandyhappygardening482]

Hello Thanks for sharing.

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

Thank You for these videos. I love learning and experimenting with plants. I'm going to try the crepe myrtle branches. To provide shade for parking under and make this property look pretty.

[@Growingthehomegarden]

They make great small shade trees for around parking areas. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I appreciate you watching!

[@user-vv6tv5el8v]

How often do you mist? and how do you make willow water?

[@nhungochoa]

Is this Michelia ???

[@elialingar]

Does anyone know what happens if you don’t use the hormone??

[@cvpidshearts]

how did they go?

[@KrazyKats39]

how often do I mist them?

[@lyslietrammell4043]

Is there a followup video?

[@Growingthehomegarden]

I did talk about them later but don't remember the video. The cuttings did not make it.

[@torychampeau2025]

Do you have an update on how your magnolias fared?

[@Growingthehomegarden]

Unfortunately these didn't work out. I think the cuttings were at the wrong stage and I took them too early. Ill try again and see. This was attempt number one. The oak leaf hydrangea is doing great though.

[@darihor]

hey, just curious, how did this turn out? I've struggled with magnolia cuttings and seem to have like a 1% success rate and its killing me

[@Growingthehomegarden]

They didn't do well. I've been able to root them through layering but they don't seem to enjoy being rooted from cuttings.

[@lindakirk7900]

How have the Jane Magnolias turned out 2 years later?

[@Growingthehomegarden]

No. Unfortunately that batch of cuttings didn't root.

[@timgoodin42053]

@@Growingthehomegarden I did the same thing and put them inside a closed white trash bag in the shade. I had about 6 root but I took the humidity away too early so they dried out and all died. I think if I gradually introduced them to regular humidity they might acclimate better and maybe some survive plan to try this next summer.

Temperature needed for growing through cutting

[@iamseely1338]

Um is there an update to this video if so please send it to me I’d really like to see it.

[@Rondaris1946]

What kind of soil is that you used for the cuttings?

[@Growingthehomegarden]

I used sand with peat in the bottom of the cells.

[@olsonlr]

i've had success with star magnolias but not the big flowering soulangeana types

[@aprilsmith35]

Any updates? Thanks

[@Growingthehomegarden]

That first batch did not make it. I tried a second batch without much success as well. Timing may be the issue. I'll try again and see if summer cuttings do better.

[@pj3998]

Do leaves fall?

[@Growingthehomegarden]

Yes, this is a deciduous magnolia.

[@altafnurserymiranshahpakis8944]

Sir.can.its.grow

[@100foldreturn1]

I have never been able to propagate Magnolia cuttings. I even tried air layering with no success.

[@Growingthehomegarden]

Try layering a branch on the ground. I've done that by placing a rock on the branch and leaving it. It takes some time but eventually roots are formed and you can dig them up and separate them from the original plant.

[@Digital_Violence]

You never mentioned the soil you used. It looks like sand.

[@KrazyKats39]

he said sand and peat potting soil was ok too
