Lost a lot of cuttings this year. We avg 20, days in 90s, this year about doubled that. Shade house is in the planning. Had shade cloth (70%) over hoop but still way to hot. Even with misting.

Watching this one, I think I will actually use our old 33 gallon fish tank to winter over some cuttings. Hydrangeas, burning bush and red twig dogwoods. All those parent plants really took a beating this summer from the lack of rain, the heat and wind, so I need to grow some cuttings...next spring. I'm confused, I mean confident. ☺️ Btw, those rose blooms are so gorgeous. 👍 Great job.

Good morning Mike! I love your show. What do you know about attracting monarch butterflys to your yard. Last summer or the summer before I planted 2 butterfly host plants. All this time I really had no clue. I read butterflys lay their eggs on this plant only. I also recently discovered that one of these many plants are not good to plant. It says they like full sun and also like to have other companion plants. I also understand better about puddling stations now. You are so well versed in many plant and shrub categories. Since there is a concern that Monarch Butterflies could become extinct due to all the construction, I read we can all help that even by doing our small part to to stop that from happening. Your presentations are so thorough I bet many people would enjoy a video of Monarch Butterflies. 🧚🏼‍♀️

Brother, again I am diggin this series. Very happy you’ve put this together in a single playlist/series. Question I still have, how do I tell when it’s ok to take off the 2 liter bottle and let the plant fortify itself for winter? I guess at a certain point I just have to figure: if they got ‘em, they got ‘em. And find out come spring. But still curios if you’ve got a good rule of thumb.

I wait until I see roots coming out the bottom or to the edge of the pot. Also, if there's roots AND new growth coming off the top, then it's usually a sure bet that you're good to go. I'll be coming out with another of these videos in the coming weeks where I root a rose cutting and go over this acclimation thing again.

​@@MikeKincaid79 hi again, I sure appreciate your videos. I'm in the same boat as Bald Yeti, I've got a beautiful cutting of a hydrangea that has shown a significant amount of top growth but still doing the "leave it on the north side of your house and covered with...well I'm using a clear plastic bag because my cutting is getting so tall...etc. method" I've learned from you. It's now about to get colder (I'm near you, so same climate) I'm really nervous about this one because it's a cutting I got on my last trip to Seaside Oregon with my dog who passed away a few months ago and I only have the one cutting, so it's already pretty sentimental and holds a lot of meaning to me so I really want to keep it alive. We have a plethora of hydrangeas in our garden (the cutting I have I'm referring to is from the same climate as it's parent hydrangea) that obviously come back year after year but because this cutting isn't in the ground, it's not getting the protection of the mature hydrangeas that are planted. Should I literally put some type of insulation around the pot? And when should I take the plastic bag off for good? We've had such a warm October, I still needed to have it covered but not sure how to transition it without shocking it. ***Oh and should I cut the new growth off the cutting that has grown? I could almost make another cutting from it, it's that tall...wondering if by cutting the new growth if it would help it survive...I probably should've asked you this a few months ago because the cutting is going to go dormant soon...but if I'm fortunate enough for you to be able to read this and reply, it's a question I'd love to know for the future. Thank you for all that you do to teach us. I wish I could share photos of all the incredible plants I've propagated because (and ONLY because) you are such an excellent teacher!

Question! I have a hydrangea tip cutting that I took in August. It's rooting, but very very slowly. It's only about 3 inches tall and starting to grow a flower bud. First of all, should I cut the flower off? Second, do you think I should overwinter it in the garage instead of under the frost cloth with some other plants? It still seems so tender and fragile but I might be over thinking it.

It's hard for me to say what plants will and won't survive your winter conditions as each different region and zone are different and I don't have experience with zone 4. I can say that there are many people who successfully grow figs in Canada. They have different techniques for overwintering but they grow them and fruit them every year. So it can be done in colder areas but you may have to choose certain varieties and adjust winter protection accordingly.

Hello I have a question - a bit random. When propagating cuttings, you recommend placing them on the north side where there are plenty of sky light but no direct sunlight. What about placing them in someplace similar to your hoop house? I have a shed with plastic sheets on top so I get about the same intensity of light you have in your hoop house. Do you think that would be plenty? Or is it a bit less? This is my first time propagating and just in case, I’ve also got more cuttings placed outside under direct sky light (without sunlight offcourse) anyway. Thanks

As many positives that there are, that's the one downside to grafted plants that I don't like. They sucker. The only real option that I know of is to continually cut off the suckers and keep them in check. Every year, my apple and pear trees sucker from the root stock and I have to prune them back again. It's due, in part, to heavily pruning the grafted rose above the root stock. That forces the root stock to sucker. So you could allow the grafted portion to grow much bigger and not heavily prune it. Then the energy will go into that growth that you want and not the root stock. Of course, then you'd have a huge rose bush that you may not want. I'll have to put my mind to a video.

I'm rooting my cuttings in sand. Will they be OK through the winter in my shed or should I go ahead & get them into a potting mix? (DFW, TX)

So, will this work with all plants thru the winter? I am in South Arkansas, so there's not much snow?

It will work with plants that are naturally cold hardy to your area.

My bet is the snow load would help protect them, we burry our well to help it from freezing eh

I've heard that a lot. When the snow comes down and stays on the ground, it provides a protective layer. I can get onboard with that idea. Our problem here is that we are on the edge of freezing, all winter long. We get such a mixture of rain, snow, freeze, thaw cycles that there's no good protection from all the elements.

BUT…your unheated shed and hoophouse, only gets as cold as your zone gets. This would not work here in zone zone 5 b. How do the roots of your fig trees survive if the roots freeze “ hard as a rock”??

You would need to grow figs that are hardy to zone 5, for sure sister. Or You would need to overwinter in a heated structure for plants rated for zone 6+ I have a heated attached garage that I have found works. I keep the garage at 45F, and ensure the heater doesn’t blow direct hot dry air on them. Seems to work up here in my Zone 4 area

I don't know but they do. I have a couple videos on here of me going out in the winter and knocking on the frozen potting soil in the pots just to show that they freeze hard as a rock. Every spring, they emerge victorious. Like I said, it's usually the harsh winds that strip the moisture away from the plants that is the problem, not the cold. Of course, like you mentioned, different plants for different zones.

Hey Mike I planted some rose cuttings this year with about 80% success. Just a quick (silly) question - it's been a couple of months since planting the cuttings and on some cuttings the buds are swelling and on one of them new growth is forming. At what point would it be suitable to transfer to their more permanent location? It's an odd kind of container that I'm growing them in lol so it's difficult to check for roots through the bottom holes. I'm too scared to pull them out to check!

I don't like to disturb the roots at this time of year. I much prefer planting in the spring so that the roots have all growing season to get established.

Not in a few years. I use to have a bunch of lilacs growing in the hoop house. They are just too easy to multiply by digging up suckers and so that's what I do. You can propagate them by root cuttings and some people even get cuttings of branches to root.

Hi, First I want to say Thank you for all you are doing and for really breaking down how to do all this. My question is about ants. I love in Springtown Texas. Super hot and this year the fire ants have been crazy. They keep going after my plants. I was wondering if you have ever felt with them getting into your tote? Thank you again.
@MikeKincaid79
@MikeKincaid79 2 жыл бұрын
I've never had ants get into my totes or other propagation frames but I have had them attack landscape plants. I use a granular ant killer out in the landscape beds, when I see a problem, but it doesn't happen very frequently. I don't use chemicals in my edible areas and just let nature take its course.

Yo, nieto, what's winter? ! Just kidding. Ever 3 or 4 years, we actually get snow. Man, listen to little kids crying when they see it. Give them a few minutes and they're making snowballs and fighting it out. Oracle, ouch. We get a 1/4 inch rain, they're getting 10 in snow. 1,000 feet higher and they get better rain in the monsoons, too. May it rain!
