How to Make New Plants Fast! 🪴🌿💮🌺 - Easy Plant Propagation

[@ericaallen2756]

Definitely doing this tonight. I've done the burying in mulch trick which works great but this method makes it is so easy to transport and share readily. Get ready friends - I'm rooting EVERYTHING, lol

[@rdarrett3635]

😂🤣

[@marcellacoblentz8433]

Also you don’t damage the roots of the parent plant if you don’t have to dig anything up.

[@juneramirez8580]

@@marcellacoblentz8433 nore disturb the new roots on your new plant trying to dig it out of the ground!!!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Jim, I've always rooted cuttings in the ground next to the parent plant using a rock (or landscape staples) to hold the branch in place while it roots. Using a recycled nursery pot for propagating new plants will make moving them to the planting site so much more convenient. Thank you for the idea! ~Margie🦋💚🌞

[@marybeth4002]

You, my friend, are a genius. I've been a backyard gardener for a few years + now and have never heard of this. I love learning from your channel, thank you 🐝🐞🌻🌹

[@jcking6785]

I’ve rooted a number of plants in the ground by putting a brick on a semi-woody limb (and waited for what seems like eons) but this way of using the pot makes so much more sense! Clearly a superior method. You don’t have to dig the plant up, risking damage to the roots, causing yourself extra work, etc. Once again, Jim, you have delivered some excellent, much appreciated advice. I love this; I will be trying this method on a weigela and a few other shrubs this week. 👍🏻💚

[@carolcowser1461]

This is one of the most useful videos that I have seen!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I have seen the pinning, or pegging, method done for decades, but I have never seen your trick with cutting the slits out of the side of the pot and I think that's awesome. So much easier. I will use this. Thank you!

[@sandramulchahey8268]

I discovered this technique accidentally when a gardenia limb was touching the ground and the leaves were heavy enough to hold it to the ground and it rooted, I dug it up and potted it. It's going to be fun trying your technique with the pots.

[@GardenDoodles]

Love the idea of cutting the container instead of overfilling with soil. That never crossed our mind when we tried to root roses.

[@kimberly8185]

Great... I'm going to have about 50 pots all over my yard now. 😆

[@juliabinford6500]

Wow, I’m paying my next door neighbor a visit with pot and brick in hand! We trade cuttings, but this is just great.

[@glendapeters8899]

Oh, Wow! Why didn't I think of this! I've been bending limbs over and putting a brick on top of it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Edit: I went out this morning and did this on 3 plants! I'm planning more in a short time! Oh, the fun we will have! Thank you for this idea, Jim. I've rooted some with a brick and branch in the ground but this is so much smarter!

[@L4sleeko]

Oh my gosh, Lowes is going to hate you for this. Absolutely wonderful, thank you! ;)

[@Mopoppy]

Genius! I used to burry it in the ground and have to dig it out. Using a planter will avoid digging out! How come I didn’t figure it out! 😂

[@melissamartin8208]

Wow! That was one of the most helpful ways to make more of my favorite shrubs! Thanks!!!!

[@debbieholst3720]

What fantastic video! I know it was a year ago but new to me. Thanks for sharing this information. Heading outside to give this a try

[@SteveL2012]

This IS pure genius, Jim, and great timing for me personally. I have been wanting to reproduce some salvia “black and bloom” that has done tremendously in my landscape this year, but which had been hard to find in my local nursery centers. I had tried rooting cuttings in water (lame, I know) but am getting only about 50% return and then wondering how/if they will transfer to potted soil!?! Going out to try this now so I can plant more of this salvia to overwinter. THANK you!!

[@josh.kaptur]

man on a small scale which is all I need, this sure seams like a lot less effort than the propagation series!!! Thank you!

[@bethheerten1132]

I never thought about cutting slits in the container. Brilliant!

[@francahillseth928]

My HERO! I’m going to try it now on my rose of Sharon that I can’t find anymore. Lots of thanks from Pasadena CA!

[@WoodlandT]

This is incredible! Plants and a little human ingenuity never cease to amaze me!!!

[@tblack4237]

Good idea. I just came in from trying this on a favorite butterfly bush. Thanks, fingers crossed.

[@dreamagood8321]

I love doing this & getting free plants ! 🌺

[@quailhollow7955]

This is so genius! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️. I can’t wait to go out this evening with pots and bricks.

[@RevAcres01]

Great video had no idea it was that simple no cost involved.

[@elsagrace3893]

Have patience and if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

[@andydzieciaszek586]

This is genius! You've done it again Jim!

[@jeansandhoodiegardengal2975]

Your excitement is infectious!!!!!! So awesome to see what you’ve done!!!! And Steph your video is always spot on my sista!!!!!!!! Learned so much during this video!!!!

[@mariebarnes416]

I really like watching how you propagate your plants. This is a great way to stretch the cost of planting in the garden.

[@maryannferencak3799]

Amazing! A great way to propogate using the pots. I have done this in the past with azaleas, but I just buried some of a branch in the ground and covered with a brick. I forgot about them most of the time! I'm thinking of all the perennials I can afford to have now. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

[@annettehinchcliffemd2032]

I’m so thrilled that you’ve shared this technique for rooting plants! I’ll definitely be trying this in our garden!

[@cpaslick1]

Thank you for showing us this technique! I have a flowering quince I'd like to root, so perfect timing!

[@2prettyfunnythings736]

Love this. I’ve made over a dozen gardenia shrubs and hydrangeas on the ground, but I do love the ease of the pot…

[@signaturegardens9788]

Game changer. Like others have commented, I've done this layering technique in the soil next to a plant, but then you risk damaging it when you try to move it or pot it up. This way that step is already done! Always learning! Thanks so much!!

[@beckyscheller9358]

Wow love this. Have done the brick on the ground before but this looks so much better. Know what I will be doing this weekend

[@jeannettejohnson2572]

That’s awesome!! I have two hydrangea branches under bricks on the ground- can’t wait to try the pot method next time! Thanks 😊

[@key22u87]

Going to tour the garden and try this technique tonight. Thanks Jim.

[@celiavasquez895]

Thank you Jim, a great 👍 idea, will definitely use to propagate 🌱. Stay safe Steph and Jim.

[@robine.4248]

Like so many people have mentioned, I am going to try for everything in my gardens! Can't wait to get started! Thank you for the simplicity! Love it!.

[@channa816]

I'm going to do this technique this weekend before we get 100 degrees ☀️ next week. I am so stunned and excited about this project on my to-do list. Thank you!

[@willaerley7140]

Nice! This is especially useful for rare or expensive plants. Plants with sentimental value, too.

[@katiekane5247]

Giving away all the secrets Jim, love it! I've used a tent stake to anchor the pot if it gets tipped over, just about the right height for trade gallon pots.

[@csellers5818]

That is so cool! Looks like something even I could do successfully! Thank you. What a great video!

[@loriledner6528]

I love how simple this is. I’m sooo excited and can’t wait to try !!! Thank you🌳

[@slomo1716]

Amazing technique to get new plants! Great Video - Thank you!!!

[@matthewheeke4377]

This is genius Jim!! I am so excited after watching this video. Last year was the first time I tried to propagate some of my plants. I have been gardening hardcore for about five years now, and this is the one area I struggle with. I have a hard time not loving my plants to death lol. Half my cuttings rooted last year only to die this spring from the stems staying to damp I believe. Thanks for always sharing your techniques. I appreciate your wealth of knowledge, which has helped me become a better Gardner.

[@awildapproach]

fantastic, quick, and to the point! thank you for this great tip! I have struggled with doing cuttings and bringing them inside or potting up a cutting, so I'll do this instead.

[@kristycampbell5426]

Thank you!!! I'm excited to give this a try. My favorite salvia has a piece leaning over, perfect for this!

[@rajinichary655]

Thanks Jim, I have done this before in pots next to plant by bending the branch, but slitting the sides is an additional good idea, it makes it easier to bury the branch in the soil without braking it. Also If the branch is a little too high I place the pot on piles of brick to raise the pot up to the level of the branch. And if space permits , you can place 2 or 3 pots to make more plants. I appreciate your no nonsense gardening advise. Thanks

[@MsAshmomma]

Excellent methodology! Thanks Jim!

[@donnaborda]

Thank you Jim! I have an Opening Day viburnum that I want to try this with.

[@suzetteccc]

Wow. This is great. I have had (by accident) things root next to the mother plant but I love the idea of actually doing it myself in pots. I know how easy hydrangeas are to propagate with cuttings, but this is way better. I will definitely do it with my Rockin Deep Purple Salvia, because they take so long to get to my local nurseries here. I keep my pelargoniums over winter, so I'll do the same with the salvias and have them much earlier!! Nice to have a use for all the nursery pots I have. Thanks for the tip.

[@GrowingonVancouverIsland]

What a great trick! Will definitely try this in the future

[@mattgag7578]

Thank you very much for that propagation method !! its quick, easy and you can just forget about it..just have to put it in the ground here in zone 5 before the winter time ;) And I have a ton of bricks in my garden..!!

[@danlucking8718]

This is by far the best propagation trick I have seen! Thank you!

[@Nature-Is-My-Home]

That’s really incredible! I had no idea it was that easy. Now I know how you have so many plants in your yard and are not broke!

[@CardiacCat]

I started propagating Emerald Green Arborvitae about 4 years ago just for fun. I now have about 10 extra trees about a foot tall and really starting to take off. I need to transplant them from pots and get them into the ground but its a great way to get more plants for free. Then id one dies you have a replacement ready.

[@n0nitwitz]

So grateful. I’m a senior on very limited income and this was so valuable to me!

[@maryglidden2943]

Wow loved this video! Ready to go out to the garden and see what plants I can try this on!!!!! THank you!

[@debbiesampath1179]

Excellent video!!! I am gonna try this on my incrediball white hydrangea!!! Lost one to those horrible 2 weeks of severe cold in early 2021 here in DFW, TX. They were expensive so I was pretty sad to lose one. Thank you for this great info!!!

[@CardiacCat]

My mother taught me to root Azaleas this way. Not even with a pot, just take a lowest branch put it down to the ground and the put a brick over it. Glad to see your variation of using pots. I'm going to try it with some of my hydrangea

[@keithreay]

We moved right around the corner from Adcock’s nursery and visited them today because of one of your videos… it was amazing. Keep up the great work.

[@carolhutchison7247]

Jim, this is BRILLIANT!! Very excited to make new plants this way. My garden will appreciate your ideas!!

[@kdshockley2016]

Thank you Jim got this great video. Definitely doing this tomorrow.

[@kingpin1118]

Initially I followed you for advice since I live in charlotte. But your sage wisdom is beyond what I subscribed for. Thank you good sir

[@graysgarden7826]

Plants are amazing! Love this technique. Thanks for teaching me this 😃

[@regeniamoorepronouncedregi9138]

This is amazing! Thank you for showing us how to propagate in such a unique way. Will be trying this myself!

[@coffeecakes1]

Now I want to go do this with all my shrubs! Very cool! Would I have the same results with a more woody stemmed shrub?

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Jim, great tip!🌸💚🙃

[@conniegriner1847]

Mind blown! This will be a great help to create plants to fill my expanding garden space. Thanks for another great video, Jim!

[@jbstoudenmire191]

I watched this video earlier this weekend while out of town. Just got home and did this with one of my loropetalum. Hoping to fill in a gap in my hedge with the new plant. Tried to propagate from a cutting in water a few weeks ago but failed. Fingers crossed for a successful rooting!

[@lindaholmes6411]

I love this video

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Great video for gardeners. I’m running outside to do this right now. I have a very beautiful Hebe bush, dark purple foliage with two tone purple flowers. Haven’t seen this plant out in my area to buy more so I’m going to try this thank you.

[@safefromdaapes7109]

I will try this method thank you Jim

[@tarawatterson4188]

Love this idea!

[@vh1266]

Wow! This is the easiest I've ever seen. Thank you!

[@Rougebasque]

Wow! Thank you for sharing

[@lulubell711]

Hi Jim, I propagated three Little Quick Fire hydrangeas today & 1 Fragrant Tea Olive today after seeing this video. I live in zone 7b in Southeast Tennessee. My question is, should I leave it in the pot all winter and just cover it if it gets extremely cold here or should I plant it before winter? Thank you for your time, Sandy.

[@kaylac3367]

Genius! I'm going to try this with my clethera ruby spice! Love this plant and would really like to have another. Do you think it would work on a fern? Such as lady in red?

[@carlaradke4066]

I just got a Ruby Spice Cethra this week. Got it in a 3 gallon container so pretty good sized. Think I will try it also so I can have twins growing at same time. Wonder if this will work on hibiscus.

[@youssefgad9740]

Jim you amazed me every video, Best Garden channel ever 🍎.

[@caprisalt]

This is awesome. How long should it take to form roots after setting this up?

[@cece_marie]

I've been doing this with my houseplants and trailing herbs/groundcovers for years, but hadn't thought to do it with shrubs! Would suckers be okay to use? Thinking of my limelight standard where the branches are too high, unless I hung pots from it. (No HOA to disapprove of this though! 😂) Currently airlayering my 6ft tall monstera so I can keep the top cutting with the loveliest fenestrations going strong.

[@thatlittlevoice8292]

In any case don't waste those little suckers. Paniculata will also grow easily from cuttings if you prune them first and insert them into potting mix. To prove it, I have six from this season alone. Just keep them moist and out of the sun.

[@barbmurray8557]

I tried this and it worked 💪!

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Will definitely do this tomorrow afternoon as this is so easy compared to other ways!! Thank you, Jim!!

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

Awesome idea!!

[@jewelzhang3745]

Love this easy technique!

[@p.h.c.1113]

Thank you so much, I will try that for sure!

[@tovah7173]

Totally Cool......

[@cantor7723]

You are definitely a garden guru. Thanks!

[@silverfoxes65]

Nice idea, thanks. Easier than air layering, but seems to be just as effective if not more.

[@BigGary79]

What a great video. I've watched my share of propagating videos and don't recall ever seeing this technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonseals]

Can this be done any time during the growing season? Is there a better time to do it?

[@assomptaalbertini1727]

Excellent technique! Cannot wait to try it. Thanks

[@Pervydachny]

Hello! This is genius! Thank you for the interesting video. I wish you happiness and new ideas👍👍👍🌻

[@darlenethompson6738]

Game changer. Thanks.

[@shesinthegarden4490]

Have seen this method before but never with cutting the slits in the container. Will be doing this soon, thanks for the tip!!

[@RT3Creations-Learn]

This is a great video. Thank you for your time. Is there a general amount of time that it takes for this brick rooting process to occur? I’m deeply intrigued and I’m going to try this tomorrow. Any other tips? Thanks again for your time!

[@j.c.linden]

Like this idea. Now what do I want more of?

[@KellerLatina]

Genius way to propagate! Love it! Wonder if i can do a stone instead of a brick?

[@teresaortiz9902]

Never heard of this technique. Definitely going to try it.

[@dianegentry3255]

I have buried some branches but I love the pot procedure! Thanks Jim!!

[@trace9657]

I think I am going to be trying this with a beautyberry.

[@junetriggs3829]

That's amazing!!!! Thank you! I will be doing this for family, friends and my self❤️❤️
