Propagating Petunia Cuttings and Saving Money | Rooting Petunias in the Hoop House

These petunia cuttings are easy to propagate and saved us a ton of money. In this video, I'll show you how quickly petunias start rooting and it makes propagating these plants a lot of fun! If you have a particular petunia variety that you like, save yourself a ton of money and follow the steps I used out in the hoop house. You'll soon have more petunias than you know what to do with.

I watched this video last spring. After seeing it I went the Wal garden center, back to their dead zone. I found four little sad dying petunia pots marked down to less than $1 each. I took them home and cut off every possible twig. I made about 15 to 18 pots including the four original pots. All but one or two survived and I repotted them in bunches placed them around my yard. I think I had about seven pots. Last November there was still one pretty pink petunia blooming in the basket hanging off my back porch. Thank you. 🙂💐

[@MikeKincaid79]

So cool, thanks for sharing!

[@lyricarol]

I love visiting the dead zone! I've gotten many plants that way, and even better are the ones in fancier pots. I bought half-dead mum's last fall. They came in two sorta fancy hanging baskets. I saw the same containers this year for $10 each! Lowe's has a great dead zone. Home Depot will let them die and still not mark them down.

[@joefranks4235]

@@joefranks4235 Yes. It is a shame. Home Depot is beyond the pale. They don't care how hopeless it is, they will not mark it down. Full price for the dead and dying.

[@desibellon3907]

So last summer I got a few nice petunias on clearance for $1 each & planted them in my yard. Then after watching this video I took cutting off my favorites & tried to propagate them. I've now taken cutting from my cuttings... a few times, I now have over 60! 😁 Wahoo for propagation!!! Thanks for your help!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Awesome job! I'm so glad to hear it Desi!

[@barbedstar6480]

Good video, Mike. Old retail/grower nursery person here. One trick I do is to pinch out the tiny growing tip of the cutting. That stops growth temporarily to let the energy go into making roots and by the time it is rooted there will be little side shoots coming. I also do that with the petunias in baskets and pots to keep them from getting too leggy. I just pinch the new very tiny tips of the growing stem, preserving any coming tiny bloom buds. I just randomly pinch the tiny tips over about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the plant. Big growers to this chemically. By doing this carefully, the baskets stay bushy and full and still have lots of bloom. Pinch a few every two to three weeks, or as the plants start to get a little leggy. Grow on!

Perfect timing, Mike. I got a beautiful petunia for Mother's Day and the branches are about 2 feet long. I was just going to prune it back and toss them. After seeing your video I decided to propagate all the cuttings. After all this petunia has the largest pink flowers for a petunia that I've ever seen, so I would like to have it in different areas. It is close to the color of the Queen Elizabeth rose. The foliage seems to be larger than normal too. Thanks for this video, preventing me from wasting this beauty!!

You're too young to remember, but up to World War II, There was no such thing as double petunia seed. Only the very rich could have double petunias. If you wanted double petunias, you had to get them imported from growers in Japan. When your plant arrived from Japan, you didn't put it out into the garden. You planted it in a tub in your greenhouse. That was your "mother plant". Each spring, you would take cuttings from it, and these were your bedding plants. You treasured your mother plant and kept the greatest care that it was healthy and vigorous. The same thing applied to geraniums and Fuchsias. There was no true breeding seed for the better forms of these plants. When World War II broke out, Japan became the enemy and you could no longer import plants. That was when American seedsmen began to develop true strains of Petunia seeds. Now the majority of petunias are grown from seed.

[@silverfoxes65]

We used to spend a hundred or more on bedding plants. Not any more. It is amazing what you can propagate with your method. Last year we propagated geraniums. Just pull your plants up in the fall, cut off the cuttings, start them the way you demonstrated. Pot them up when they are big enough. Then take cuttings off of your cuttings and start them, and by spring for every plant you started with you will have 20 or 30 plants. I have also started perennials this way including, mock orange, lavender, hydrangeas, just about anything. Beats the $15 per pot on those guys. You can also make a little money on the side.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Sounds like you've got this thing figured out pretty well, and saving tons of money.

[@silverfoxes65]

Just takes time and space under the lights. That means I can't grow as many vegies indoors or I have to get more lights. Last year I converted my fluorescent shop lights into led's. The power usage was cut in half. So, maybe more lights for less cost. I'll try to sell that to my wife.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I'm considering doing the same this year and I also have to convince my wife. Led's are more expensive up front but last longer and cost less in power. See, now I'm trying to convince myself, haha!

[@silverfoxes65]

Mike, any old fluorescent fixture will work. Order the 110 Vac, single ended bulbs with extra tombstones and you will be in business. Basically you gut the boxes, wire 110vac to one of the tombstones and that is it. Doing Lights of America shop fixtures is a little tricky, but I managed to do 4 of them, and they all work. I buy the bulbs by the dozen, here's a link, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DJT1DU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Don't have a link for the extra tombstones as I didn't get them, but wished I had. Hope this helps. Once you do it, you will not have to worry about bulbs for years and years. They will light in the cold, another feature if you put them in your greenhouse in the spring. Hope this helps.

You are awesome Mike! I look for your videos to learn from you! Thank you for your simplicity!!

[@MikeKincaid79]

So glad you're learning from them. Thanks for hanging out here with us on the channel!

[@sunitabajapally]

great video you have shown even the grown ups in the same video. thx

[@MikeKincaid79]

It's fun to see the whole picture.

[@lully381]

Thank you Mike for this tutorial, I found a black Petunia this week at a local nursery I have never seen a black one before and it is beautiful. As I had already filled the boot of the car up with plants I only bought two but after seeing your video I may see if I can expand my two into more. BTW I love Fuchsias and it made me smile you kept calling the petunias fuchsias. My husband can never remember the names of plants he asks me and I often call plants by the wrong name too so I just say they are called pretty flowers he remembers that okay!

[@MikeKincaid79]

You can multiply these things like crazy......whatever they're called, lol. Have fun with it!

[@MsLbriley]

@@MikeKincaid79 lol ! Thank you so much for all your videos and your devotion to your wife and her love of flowers

[@sheliascott70]

I'm addicted too! I keep buying plants, plants, and more plants!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Now you can propagate more and more and more plants and sell them and get your money back! Don't worry, we're all addicted with you.

[@meme-oh1kj]

I literally would love to move to have the same size home but 4 times the size garden so I can propogate and plant and propogate and plant, I literally get so excited watching your videos, you make me laugh, and I can not wait to do some petunias now, they're gorgeous flowers, For now I do them for the satisfaction and give them all away to friends and family 😍 Thanks for all your knowledge and information.....🙏🌿

[@MikeKincaid79]

You're welcome. Have fun propagating!

[@karimgomez6933]

I’m totally new to the plants. Starting with whatever I found on sale. Got some hanging baskets of petunias almost dying for $3 so got 4. Someone told me I need to cut the long legs but they still have some beautiful flowers and didn’t know what tho do with the cuttings. Then in my searching your video came out. Going to try this method to propagate them. We’re having hot weather with no rain so far in Ga. Hopefully isn’t too hot. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber here.

I have just started sowing seeds for winter and went through this video now. I loved all the comments and hope it will be useful for me. Thanks to all those who have commented

[@MikeKincaid79]

So glad you found the video and good luck on your project!

New subscriber! Really enjoyed this video...so interesting! Happy Gardening from Central Texas.

Thanks for subscribing, Martha, and glad you enjoyed the video! Welcome to our little gardening family.

[@mweatherby2968]

Thank you for sharing your talent in propagating plants. Petunia's (not Fushia), are my husband's favorite, so now I can make more. I even save seed or just let the seeds go back into the pot until next year. Every little thing you teach and show helps so much. Thank you again.

[@MikeKincaid79]

So glad you enjoy the videos! I need to do some more on petunias. I love growing them indoors through the winter.

[@joanngaristo-hoffman9860]

Thank you Mike for teaching us how to propagate petunias probably my most favorite flower the smells so good and I think you have a great personality😇😂🌺🌸

[@MikeKincaid79]

Awe, thanks so much JoAnn! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@reitumetsemarabe7378]

thanx a lot, this will save me a lot of money. love flowers

[@rogerbrendabowman4808]

Amazing 🎉 I wish I’d known this years ago. I love plants and just yesterday I bought 3 dying pot plants and cleaned them up geraniums. Now I’m going out and buy some petunias and divide up. So glad I found your 🎉channel. I feel I’ve missed out over the years but as they say” 😂 better late than never “. Thanks

[@MikeKincaid79]

I hear ya. Kind of makes me wonder what I'm missing out on that I don't know about now, haha. Glad you've discovered plant propagation. Have fun with your projects!

[@charlottenay5994]

Awesome instructional video. I’m going to take what I’ve learned and propagate some of the gorgeous petunias that I bought today. Thanks you so much for the great info.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Have fun with it, Charlotte!

[@carriem7832]

Begonias, Rex begonias, Impatients, vining geraniums and so much more. The green house I worked in rolled in the money off of many mama plants as we called them. So much fun to make your own flock of plants....🤓

[@MikeKincaid79]

Mama plants are the way to go!

[@ebozzastudio7332]

OMG , you just guessed that I need more petunias ! Thank you so much!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Good guess!

[@nadinestewart7691]

Mike Kincaid where Do u put them during winter?

[@Angela410R]

Thank You For This brilliant information I will most certainly use this to my advantage this year. Today will begin the trial run of propagation of my petunias. I'm sure of what no less than 30 of your videos today.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Good luck and have fun Angela!

[@norabrault7632]

Enjoy watching the video. I see how much you love plants. Awesome!👍❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you

[@bobthebuilder2778]

TOO FUNNY your cuttings went from Petunias to Fuchsia in just 3 short weeks . I definitely want some of whatever you're smoking in your Greenhouse

[@MikeKincaid79]

It's pretty good stuff, Bob!

Thanks you for this video it’s very helpful . Please continue to make these videos .

[@MikeKincaid79]

I will!

[@butterflybluffhomesteadsmi4601]

I've been growing my own (balcony) petunias from seed now for about 9 years. Last year I tried Rainmaster White.SO impressed at the bloom power and wonderful smell. Wonderful to know I can do this and extend the season when they start getting leggy!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes, it's all possible. You can even grow them indoors through the winter and preserve until the following spring. You'll have blooms all winter long. I've got a bunch of videos about it somewhere around here, lol. Have fun!

[@31alka]

I love this Intervention....I was about to hit Lowes but luckily I found your channel. I am going to buy few and propagate as you suggested. Got to watch all your videos to continue my addiction of plants.

[@MikeKincaid79]

You're in a safe place, Alka, and we're here to help, LOL. Have fun!
