How to Grow Blueberries From Cuttings | Propagating Blueberries

[@Michael-s2p3p]

Increase your success by making a 50-50 mixture of your rooting powder and psyllium husk powder. Wet the stems, coat them with the mixture, pre-poke a hole in the sand, place the stems without knocking off the mixture. The psyllium forms a gel that persists and keeps the rooting hormone close to the plant during propagation.

What kind of sand??? What coarseness?

Last winter all my container plants did not make it through the freezing winds, I had a dozen blueberry liner plants in 1G pots growing them out; only two TORO survived. The same thing happened to blackberry plants rated for zone 4, I'm in 6B Virginia. Because plants are stupid expensive, I'm going to try to propagate some of my berry bushes. I did get four blueberry starts with a tree order, I usually go to a blueberry farm in KY or a lavender farm in NC to buy plugs already rooted but those can be pricey for what you get. Mike Kincaid in WA is the go-to for rooting from what I have read. Groundhogs and bunnies are hard to deal with as they eat plants to the roots.

In the next 6000 year, the archaeologist will discovered my backyard entirely fill with 200 feet tall Blueberry forest just because of you. Haha thank for sharing ❤😂

[@learnimplementshare3431]

Awesome tutorial. Very easy to follow. Will do this and see how I go!

[@markedward8639]

I just attempted to do cuttings of my elderberry plants. Watching this makes me think they are very similar to propagate. I didn't know to cut off the floppy tops, so all my cuttings are wilted at the top. And I didn't know to put a dome over them. That makes sense and they look like they would benefit greatly from it. Now I'm going to try the blueberries as you showed.

[@hummingbirdacres]

yes elderberry is similar.

[@agnemedia624]

Thank you very much for steps Q; what sand is good for propagation? Is a playground sand from hardware store ok? What soil prefer after roots are built?

[@EricaGates0623]

Do you have any updated video on these?

[@raton_garden]

Wow so informative video. Good job 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@janelabella2190]

Great video. You make it sound so easy. I will try it tomorrow.

[@hummingbirdacres]

Let me know how it goes.

[@nicolebradley123]

How did you go?

[@gracegardenprince]

Good information 👍

[@hummingbirdacres]

Thanks

[@scottishfoldmocha5875]

Do you keep it outside during winter when it's freezing temperatures? Or do you bring them in?

[@hummingbirdacres]

I kept them outside and they did fine.

[@dodangvinh9959]

Thank you from Vietnam

[@EdA-qh7qr]

Can you grow blueberries in vietnam I got back hmc and I didn't see any blueberries there I guess if you up north you could grow them

[@MikeJones-qo7vt]

Do leave it outside or keep them indoors?

[@dalesteiner150]

excellent video...When its time to fertilize , what do you use ? Thanx

[@JVBrahmana]

Thanks from Indonesia

[@gladysharker8728]

What was the success rate and do you have an update?

[@billcsernik6918]

Is that regular play sand ? I like your arch metal looking frame in background. Can you tell me how you made that or did you buy it ?

[@Nafschool]

why did you sand instead of soil?

[@steveanimatrix3887]

You will keep more rooting hormone on the stem if you use a pencil to make the hole before inserting the stem in the sand. If you just poke it straight in the sand a lot of the hormone rubs off (you can see this happen in your video). Also always make sure to use razor sharp scissors, or razor blade. You want as fine and crisp of a cut as you can get and not crush the stalk, which dull scissors will do. It's just better to use a razor blade overall. A crushed stalk will make it more difficult for it to take up water and the plant will concentrate on repairing the damage instead of rooting.

Any send is good?

Thanks

[@rosmala5402]

What media for blueberry

[@lydiahubbell6278]

what varieties do you have?

[@c17360]

Great video. What was the success rate?

[@hummingbirdacres]

We have had about 90% success rate with our blueberries.

[@agpawpaw5912]

My blueberry propagation is failed. It’s not that easy, but I will try your method

[@hummingbirdacres]

Try again and let us know how it goes.

[@nicolebradley123]

How did these guys go, Deanna? :)
