How to Divide Mint into Free Plants

[@GardenMinistry.]

I love the sound of the rooster or chickens in the background, nature's music! I will be dividing most of my ornamentals in spring, like my sedum. This video was very informative, thank you!🌺🌿

[@Lovelygreens]

Those hens AND roosters 😂 They're two houses down and always make themselves known lol

Thank you Tanya Lovely Greens for your videos. Your tips are always welcome to a learner like me .

[@Lovelygreens]

You're welcome 😊

[@DanielOlivierArgyle]

Divide and conquer!

[@Lovelygreens]

Me too! Loads of them :) propagating plants is exciting, isn't it?

Fun video Tanya!

[@Lovelygreens]

Thank you 💚

Bread knives are good for dividing too ☺️

I took hydrangea cuttings last year and planted them in acidic compost for them to turn blue. 💙

[@charlesbale8376]

Great information, enjoyed the video.

[@jennyjohnson9012]

I split all my plants too. Sow most of my own seeds to save money. I started to take rose cuttings too and its been really successful.

[@FunnySurpriseToys]

Hi my friend! Thank you and have a great day!🙏👍19

[@antonia5682]

Thanks so much for this (and all of your videos, which I find so helpful!). I've been saving a lot of seed this year for the first time, but not thought so much about propagation by division. I will now! All good wishes.

[@Lovelygreens]

Best wishes for your plant propagating plans too, Antonia 🙂

[@antonia5682]

@@Lovelygreens Thank you! :D

[@davidthescottishvegan]

A excellent video Tanya and propagation from division is a great idea and why would you buy additional plants from the garden centre when you can get free plants from existing plants.

[@Lovelygreens]

Exactly! Buying plants is a treat, but using what you have to create new plants is how to expand a garden wisely :) Thanks David

[@philtaylor9038]

Thanks for another idea for an empty greenhouse I could look at this over the Bank holiday. Hope you have a lovely first Bank Holiday in your new home.

[@Lovelygreens]

I imagine that it won't be empty for long :)

[@pennythompson4790]

thanks i need to repot my mintxx

[@itsmewende]

I just yesterday pulled out my tiny scissors at a shopping area with really huge beautiful Hydrangea, took 2 cuttings. Planted those today and hope to have a couple nice huge Hydrangea in the coming yrs =^)

[@neilscole]

I've had success propagating chocolate mint by cuttings. Basil, too. I recently split up my lemon grass that was growing in one very tight clump. I got four new clumps of lemon grass that are all growing bigger and healthier because the roots aren't all choking each other, and now the stalks have more space to grow larger.

[@Lovelygreens]

Mint easily roots from cuttings. Either in water or in potting mix :) It's so versatile!

[@abeilleabeille2998]

Good 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🐝

[@vanessaadams9145]

I haven't been able to get all those kinds of mint as of yet, I envy you! Lol I want them so bad so far I have spearmint, peppermint, regular mint, lemon balm and mojito mint

[@Dblossom1]

Thank you, great video, lots of information. Can I divide geraniums, begonias or bacopa monniere? Do you know please? Thanks again

[@vineetisgardening7515]

Good

[@CottageGardensonForest]

I’d like to propagate my hardy hibiscus and I’m thinking it would be best to try cuttings. Have you any experience with this plant? What do you think is the best way to propagate them? Thanks

[@josealeman332]

MMn sound like a 303 or 3006 but no concern for animals I am concern for you, hunting season is coming soon maybe you should used a big orange vest ( a least where i live)? ....any way , I am new and having fun in the garden but I didnt imagine how expensive can be when you have bad soil like me. thanks for sharing .

[@maitegonzalez1261]

Can I propagate salvias as you have done the mint?

[@baileycullum2392]

Dividing the plant by pulling/ wiggling/ teasing rather than cutting will make the roots break at the natural weak points so you don't damage healthy parts. So for the most part that's best but if they are tough to pull apart then you should cut.

[@Elizabeth-ux3is]

Hi, I enjoyed your video, can you separate sage and thyme?

[@Lovelygreens]

Sage and thyme grow as singular plants rather than clump-forming. You can’t divide them, but you can easily propagate both from cuttings.

[@Msmaggie801]

Thanks for another lovely video! Can I propagate rosemary this way? xx

[@Lovelygreens]

Rosemary, not by division, but you can propagate it by cuttings. Here's a video showing how kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIq2gZqvrp5ogtU

Was that Kirby garden centre ?

[@Lovelygreens]

That was!

[@cathykirkmcrae7727]

I have some Lemon Verbena that I would love to make more plants of...what would you suggest?

[@Lovelygreens]

It grows very well from stem cuttings :)

[@mitchellsharp1456]

multiplication via division

[@NFTheO1]

Do the plants need to be established? About a month ago bought a mint plant from the store and put it in a small pot. it's growing pretty well for so early in the season, but I'd like to put it in a larger pot and am considering dividing it instead of buying a second plant. If I did that in the next couple of weeks would that be too soon?

[@Lovelygreens]

Nope, go for it! Mint is very resilient

[@onnozweers]

Can you divide parsley like this?

[@Lovelygreens]

You can BUT parsley is a biennial. It will always die in it's second year, even if divided.

[@PriceJP]

Where did you buy the potting tub? Thanks!

[@Lovelygreens]

Hi Joe, you can find it in the Potting Shed section of my Amazon shop: www.amazon.com/shop/lovelygreens

Hosta- Japanese asparagus

[@Lovelygreens]

You know, I haven't tried it yet but have heard that the shoots are tasty. Slugs certainly think so! 😆💚

[@bobbilynnmiller742]

How would I propagate thornless blackberries ? And what is the best way to propigate hydrangeas in a cold climate , without a greenhouse?

[@Lovelygreens]

Thornless blackberries will grow from cuttings but also by layering. Pin a vine to the ground and it will grow roots on the underside.
