Great video as always Jim! I have fallen in love with propagation within the last 3 years. It is a very rewarding hobby.

[@Ash-xx5zd]

Always... thankful when people break down propagation methods. I know it's the bread and butter for many businesses, so I truly am sooooo thankful. And you really explain it so sell. In each video! I know it sounds like repeating for you. But for every video that's not referencing another video for clickbait or whatever tactics is also another blessing. Really makes it easy to the point its inspiring me to take cuttings. Lol. Before this series ends, can you review rooting powder products and explain why you opt for the gel? You're the only person who's actually explained the purpose for the hormone (last propagation video) clearly. Up to now, I bought it thinking it works based on Mumbai videos, but then got to other information where "it doesnt matter" so now know it proliferates root growth and doesnt just encourage rooting... has made me pull the powder out from its corner! Lol. Great series.

love watching you do this , it's really therapeutic, best channel ever 👍👍👍👍 best easy going voice and instruction , absolutely love it 👍👍👍👍

[@carlaradke4066]

Thanks Jim. Going to check your videos for the cheaper ways to set up the propagation.

[@southerncharmed4118]

I broke some stems off of my black and blue salvia with the water hose by accident. I stuck the three broken stems straight into the ground and it’s rooted already and growing new leaves. Super easy to propagate these.

[@carmenbailey1560]

Fantastic and rewarding when cuttings have roots. Thanks for sharing your process for propagation 👍❤️😊

[@judygray7718]

Thanks🌲🌿

[@xiomaramartinez3212]

Thanks 🙏🏼 Greats suggestions for pollinators next season!!! I really looking forward to it

[@olsonlr]

Would be nice to include in the description a list of the easiest perennials to root.

[@Tofog22000]

Great to see such quick results! I'm going to plant African Basel for the pollinators next year; I saw how well they did in your garden.

[@JimPutnam]

They grow so fast. I was Denny Werner's again the other day and his are huge with bees going wild for them.

[@rynophiliac]

Great video! If you're looking for video ideas I'd love to see a video on why and when a greenhouse/hoop house is needed for propagation of cuttings. There's another guy on youtube having good results rooting cuttings in sand that are open to air. Perhaps he is in a humid environment so he doesn't need the greenhouse?

[@JimPutnam]

Along the gulf coast it is almost always outside. This is the reason that I have done a different version every year. There is no right way. Just whatever you find that works for you. I don't like sand because transplanting is tedious. In the nursery business it is about easy replication

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Jim, I purchased one golden elderberry this year, and several hydrangeas, so I'm looking forward to your shrub propagation video. I would love to have more of those shrubs, and I also want to propagate my Japanese maple. I've had pretty good success rooting most annuals in the same pot as the parent plant. After taking the cutting, I stick it directly into the planter and cover it with a clear plastic pop bottle, with the bottom cut off, and I leave the cap off also. The cuttings are protected from direct sun by the larger plants, and they get watered every day from the bottom when I water my planters. I haven't used a rooting hormone on any of these annuals, and I've had pretty good luck rooting them.

[@user-qt6mm9gg5w]

I don't have any equipment so I think I will try your method. Do you water the actual cuttings?

[@greenthumbelina7331]

@@user-qt6mm9gg5w I don't water them directly, but since the bottom of the pop bottle is cut off, they get regular moisture from the water I give the planters. I've also used clear plastic glasses turned upside down, with a few holes cut into the bottom (which is the top, when they are upside down over the cutting). I hope that made sense. These cuttings will get watered from above if we get rain. Good luck, I hope it works for you too! ~Margie

@@greenthumbelina7331 Thank you. I appreciate all the help I can get.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

@@user-qt6mm9gg5w Give it a try, you'll be surprised at how quickly they root and start putting on new growth.

[@sharonjamesmcgee5696]

J check out some of Jim’s previous propagation videos. In one, he uses a clear plastic tote as a mini-greenhouse.

[@MrJameshubert]

I can't wait to hear about..... or hope to hear about the overwintering management. Thanks for the info!

[@meredith3588]

I would like to root cuttings of my Daphne so looking forward to next week. I haven't rooted anything in many years so it's nice to have a refresher on the process.

[@brigettegriffiths464]

Hi, can you please provide information as to where you purchased the African basil seeds from, I cannot source it in the UK and thank you for your refreshing and detailed presentation, you are a joy to watch

[@candiesmith4329]

So interesting.🧐

[@JRileyStewart]

Very helpful. I couldn't find your propagation series, but could you answer why you transplant perennials to the garden in Spring rather than Fall? I'm in Zone 6b/7a, with long autumns. Would it be better to transplant these in the Fall for my Zone??

[@vincechampion3031]

Great propagation video.

[@JeanTOM-qb5dm]

Your propagation videos are the absolute BEST, Jim! Thanks! Are perennials like rudbeckia and echnicacea as easy to root or are they just better to divide?

[@Runboy7426]

Fantastic propagation video's Jim! Could you talk a bit about your opinion on the safety of rooting hormones (IAA etc.) in food and consumable crop production? I always see these products labeled as "not for food crops" but can't seem to find any documentation supporting why they would not be safe to use. Keep up the great work!

[@debbiebarnett5729]

I would like information on how you set up your water system.

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Seeing roots on cuttings is the most gratifying thing ever, lol. I checked my pomegranate cuttings today, and was surprised to see lots of 6-8" roots coming out of the drain holes already, after only 2.5 months. My pyracantha, firepower nandina and eugenia cuttings looks like they rooted well too. Satsuki and azalea always taking a bit longer than those. And, J maples, absolutely the longest and slowest to take off (more so than junipers/conifers). Chinese elm doing good so far too. Hoping cotoneaster and chaenomeles will be easy/doable too. So far, the most difficult thing for me is - once they've well rooted and I remove them from box/greenhouse to acclimate, rats decimated my last entire crop of azalea cuttings (like 60+ successful cuttings) :(

Please tell me about rooting hormones that can propagate rooting system.

Propagation is so interesting and intriguing! I want to try to root my ornamental oregano! Is it easy to root?

[@JimPutnam]

It is very easy to root. Go for it!

[@Graycat1735]

@@JimPutnam awesome! I will! I was only able to find one plant, so now I can root a bunch from it. I am so excited! Thanks for your instructions and help!

[@maxinemcclurd1288]

My garden oregano can be thrown on the ground and walked on and still take root.

[@Graycat1735]

@@maxinemcclurd1288 I have to cut my Greek oregano back several times a year and it still spreads everywhere. My 'Kent Beauty' ornamental oregano looks totally different. I hope it takes off and grows as well as my Greek oregano. If it does, I can have it everywhere! ... Well... almost everywhere...😉😄❤

[@shannonebryan5475]

Thank you Jim, I really appreciated the video. Where will you winterize, in your green house ?

[@noel888]

I assume your doing softwood propagation cause you said that its hot and sunny. Hardwood cuttings are more difficult I believe.

[@JimPutnam]

Not so much difficult as slower. Semi hardwood cuttings are tough and root fast. Softwood don't give room for errors

[@redwood1957]

Does the over water also cause leaves to turn brown on ends? Thank you

[@JimPutnam]

Browning on tips could be that got dry at some point. Most of the overwatering issues are under the soil and then they will defoliate.

[@jeaninecelayeta3370]

How do you keep them all winner?

[@saphire82]

What do you do with the new baby growth when they haven’t rooted yet? The side growth that comes between the top and the set of leaves? Should I keep plucking them off?

[@JimPutnam]

I have never cut them again after I stick them until they are rooted and repotted

[@anitahadley2871]

Where do you plan on overwintering them? I’d love to have more of my lollipop verbenas but mine got a lot of mildew this year. Probably not great to propagate it.

[@JimPutnam]

Yeah, I only do cuttings from healthy things. I will finish the house to winter them in

[@anitahadley2871]

HortTube with Jim Putnam do you think I should just cut back that verbena to the ground now or is it too late? I need to spray it earlier next year as a preventative. Maybe with neem.

[@JimPutnam]

It is probably to late now. It may need a spot with more air movement. You can move it in the early spring

[@anitahadley2871]

HortTube with Jim Putnam I may try that. It’s not in a crowded space right now. But my backyard is hotter than my front yard since it’s fenced it.

[@pauldarr2701]

Where will these go later this year when it gets cold? Will your covered frame area basically turn into a cold frame and they will stay in there?

[@JimPutnam]

It will become a cold frame. I overwinter cool but not cold

[@carlaradke4066]

Could you have done the cuttings earlier so they would not have to be wintered over?

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, I am definitely later than usual. I will say that for 20 years on the nursery business I always overwintered in the house.

[@robinrummel1359]

@@JimPutnam do you mean house as in your home or the greenhouse? Also, if in your home, do you have them under grow lights?
