HOW TO TAKE CARNATION CUTTINGS🌸🌱

How to take CARNATION / DIANTHUS CUTTINGS this is the easiest way to get free plants

[@MyWorld-el5yi]

I am going to take cuttings of my Dianthus this weekend. After watching your videos, I have managed to get two Salvia Jezebel to root and two 2 shoots from a Dahlia tuber to root that I acquired 2 weeks ago - it’s a win win ! And hopefully stop my addiction of buying plants in GC!!!!!! Thank you for all your videos.

I've taken some cuttings from a bunch of flowers my hubby has bought me( and roses too that had shoots coming off the stems), so wish me luck 🤞🌹

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

Wonderful! i will keep my fingers crossed

[@nataliedodson1637]

Hi thank you for another very informative video. Would you treat these the same as your geranium video cuttings afterwards please . i.e by putting them on a sunny southside window? Also do they need to be in direct sun or indirect sun. And then do I just water and spray them with water until spring to put into my garden please? Thanks ever so much Natalie 😀

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

Always indirect sun Natalie and just make sure they don't dry out I never spray I am glad you liked the video good luck with yours

[@micheleashby9605]

Can you take clippings of taller carnations can you do a demo o that please too thank you so much 💐from new Zealand

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

Yes i wll post a video as soon as they are ready to take cuttings from

[@davidklein4999]

Thanks for tips! I didn't cut my tops off so maybe that's why they are growing ok but very straggly, is it too late to snip the tops off now so they become bushy?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

Not at all

[@foreverflowersbyamanda9724]

Thank you 😊

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

You're welcome 😊

[@idaisabellefindler9086]

Why do you need to trim the tops off? Will it work if I don't trim the top leaves?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

By trimming the the tops it stops them losing to much moisture before they develop their own roots I hope this helps thanks

[@idaisabellefindler9086]

Thank you.

[@christyj24]

🙂 thanks 👍!!

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

No problem!

[@Nothinghere.Pringles]

Why my carnations are so long and no flowers at all

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

I would prune them back

[@jamiefairlie4837]

should cut the bottoms at an angle not straight accross

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

either way is OK

[@patriciamontojo28]

Why there's result? After you plant it?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

Unfortunately I forgot to make that video lol 😆
