Mike Kincaid what is best time to propagate fuschia cutting

[@MikeKincaid79]

In my area, the absolute best time would be early spring because you need enough time through the summer for them to put on new growth and bloom. That might require you to bring them into a heated greenhouse in late winter to get an early start.

[@sidneyeaston6927]

Fuchsia tip for early cuttings. take an established plant at the end of season and cut the tops of every stem leaving each stem with only two leaf nodes put old compost over the top covering the cut stems by about an inch. When they show through in spring and leaf out dig the compost away gently and pot your ready rooted young plants. This method requires no propagator, can be done without removing the original plant from your border and the bonus is that your new plants are ready to go about a month earlier than waiting to take cuttings.

[@susanfryer1616]

That’s sounds a great idea

[@emeraldkatt4899]

Your videos have helped me be brave enough to stop buying stock for my commercial greenhouse. I now buy 2 mother plants and do my own starts on everything that is not patented.

Thanks so much for the amazing videos! This year I am trying petunias, fuchsias, and geraniums,. I have had success taking Dahlia, mum, coleus and Dianthus cuttings. Thanks for getting me started. It makes winter so much easier when I can play in the dirt.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Sure does brighten up the long dark days of winter!

[@kieroneyles1026]

At the moment I am doing an experiment with leaf cuttings from fuchsias, putting the leaf petiole in water for a few hours, then into rooting powder and sticking in a sandy compost mix, each leaf is put in at an angle then misted regularly, after a few weeks there was no wilting of the leaves and no yellowing and after about 60 days 2 of the leaves have small shoots on them, so it does work this way, all the best from kieron in the uk

[@lorettaconsolla569]

Mike, I started watching you last summer. I took some hydrangea cuttings from my daughter’s house in Maryland that she was selling. Drove home to Florida and started propagating them for her . I had great success but unfortunately with this virus we won’t be able to bring them up North any time soon. Fortunately they will keep fine since I potted them up and am watching over them. This Spring I have petunias rooting in a bin on the Nort

I've got an Angel Earrings Fuschia I've had for a few years. I'm in N. Georgia 7b & I've seen it hardy at Ashville botanical gardens under a lathe house. It's propagated in water for me & transitions to soil easy. It's off patent so good to go. Slightly less fluffy flowers but that beautiful red/ purple that the hummingbirds adore! I've given tons away & this year I had enough to try some in the landscape. It's also resistant to mildew, doesn't croak in our heat & humidity. Actually sold as a half hardy perennial from places like Plants Delights. I can't afford to buy from there though. This variety is the best by far for me.

[@MikeKincaid79]

[@roge0195]

How did you train them into trees?? It is January here in Minnesota. I have 2 fuschias in baskets I am overwintering in my house. I am thinking about trying to start cuttings for my porch railing planters which I can’t plant until late May when there is no danger of frost.

[@cindynichols1342]

Question: why do people sometimes pre make the planting hole and others they just dip in hormone and stick right into the medium? Is there a rule of thumb?

[@MikeKincaid79]

It's best to dibble a hole first to prevent the hormone from being brushed off. I let the hormone sit on the stem for a few minutes to soak in a little and then just stick them.

[@jessfox9722]

Lovely laidback but informative video. I’m going to do this on my next lot of mature fuscias in the hope that I can use them in my hanging baskets the following year. I suspect I’ll need to overwinter them in a light cool but frost free loft? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you (UK growing conditions)

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes, I overwinter mine indoors under fluorescent bulbs. I’ve got some videos of all that somewhere around here.

It's best to take the cuttings early on but if you plan to bring them indoors for the winter then you can take the cuttings later in the season.

[@patwaites1]

Just discovered your videos and you make everything so easy as you explain as you go along, I live in England and our weather is far from hot most of the times even in the so called summer. The everyday person here has a green covered portable greenhouse so would be nice maybe if you could give some tips on how we should grow our cuttings in that? I have only just started trying to take cuttings.

[@suerenegerwidmer2]

Mike I have been trying to get fuchsia cuttings to take!! But the past 100 my cutting was just turned to mush. What am I doing wrong? Should I just put riding hormone on the bottom of the plant and now I’m where the leaves come out? Should I leave more leaves on the top? I’m trying to use some mix of half light and a half Pima. I don’t have anything with compost. Is that my problem????😢😠😖

Great tutorial mate thank you. do you have a video on how to keep Fuchsia over winter? in UK here and mine is looking sad, the twigs are dead but new leaves have sprouted at the base. Any idea what I should do? it's not a big plant so I can keep indoors or out. Thanks in advance, subscribed

[@MikeKincaid79]

It’s best to keep them indoors under lights through the winter.

[@PlantyMessyHypsie]

Thank you for this video. I purchased a cutting 11 weeks ago that has grown into a little plant. I’ve snipped the froth points to make it a little fuller. Can I take cuttings from it, or is it too young? The stems are still soft.

[@MikeKincaid79]

If it's got enough new growth for a cutting then by all means do it. Some plants grow faster than others and cuttings can be taken multiple times in the same season.

Mike, I know this has nothing to do with this video so to say, but I could not think of anyone to ask that will know the answer but you! I live in central north missouri so I would assume our winters and summers are probably somewhat close. Zone 6 here. I have been kicking around the idea of a greenhouse for tree seedlings etc in the winter. However, how exactly does everyone water trees etc in a greenhouse in the winter? Do I even need a greenhouse for trees in pots? If you have any videos that talk about this let me know!! Thanks

[@sarahbramell6902]

I super appreciate this video. I'm from Western Washington and I'm used to seeing fushias everywhere. I moved to Idaho and couldn't find a fushia anywhere. Everything I read said I wouldn't be able to grow them here. I was super determined so I bought one online. The tiny plant was $40! But it has survived and is doing well even though we broke 100 degrees for a couple weeks straight. Hopefully I can keep it alive through the winter so I can propagate it next spring and never spend 40 on a tiny plant ever again! Since I'm new to this, why do you cut the leaves in half?

[@MikeKincaid79]

To reduce moisture loss from the cutting. You can definitely overwinter them under lights indoors. Have fun and good luck!

[@chompers11]

Hey hey mike, I'm back to your vids to learn more about propagating! They are so good. I'm still waiting for white Cornus to stop flowering, eyeing my fuschia now for softwood cuttings. Cutting those leafs in half really helps eh? How many leaves per cutting do you think is most successful? Also does rooting hormone ONLY work where there is a cut? I've been dipping in water and then covering the bottom half inch. Ok last question, I also dip straight into the jar, do you think could cause rooting hormone contamination? Or can it go bad?Your vids are the best thanks!!!

[@jackiesicilian5720]

What purpose does cutting the leaves in half serve? Energy again to the roots?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Cuts down on moisture loss from the cutting, saves room and allows more air flow in the propagation frame.

Hi Mike, would you just re pot them over winter and keep them in the greenhouse or conservatory if you were to keep them please. Regards from England 👍

It's too cold in my hoop house and they wouldn't survive in there. A heated greenhouse would work well but I don't currently have one. If I were to overwinter them, I'd bring them indoors and place under grow lights. I'd treat them like houseplants until spring.

what kind of growing medium do fuschias prefer? ...is there a ratio/ formula? tyia

[@MikeKincaid79]

For propagation, I like to use any medium that drains well, holds some moisture, and is relatively inert. Fir bark is my favorite because it's easy to get around here but sand, perlite, vermiculite, peat, coco coir, etc, will all work. For growing them into plants, any potting soil will do.

If it's struggling then I'd just keep in shade, flush the soil with water, and then give a light well rounded fertilizer and leave it alone. In your warm climate, I can only imagine it will do fine through the winter.

[@danconstanciojr8476]

I’ve learned quite a few things from your show, Mike. But, what I’ve learned is what you don’t say will eventually not make it easier for anyone who purchases plant/tree/brush from any wholesaler. Simply because those merchants have trained their plants to thrive in a certain dietary environment. Like when you propagate a new branch. I’ve learned that your solutions to grow faster plants are “conditioned by your expertise.” Hence, what I do to chemical control my new clippings/cuts are subjected to new experimental growth chemicals. Therefore, those plants will thrive except under my nursery additives. If someone tried to grow a lime seed from my lime produce, the seed won’t grow since it’s been trained to grow under certain fancy attention. So if anyone tries snipping a branch from my Bougainvilleas, it won’t work. Due to circumstances of my training the plant from the get go. If they don’t follow my recipe for faster /stronger care, it will be a waste of time for those individuals. Cheers and adios, Amigo.

[@artonmysleevearton5538]

Hi, Mike, been looking through your videos to see if you kept these fuchsias alive over winter, did you? how did they go? Reason why I ask is I have just taken some fuchsia cuttings and winter is coming in the next few months and I have no idea where to turn for heating the greenhouse I have got. My greenhouse is not as big as your tunnel, only 10x8 but still here in the uk we can get it pretty cold. I have no way of heating it via electricity as my greenhouse is 40 meters away from the house. so electric is out of the question. Someone did tell me about using tea lights and a clay pot to make a heater to keep the frost out, but I can't see it working that well. what would you advice? cheers

[@MikeKincaid79]

I didn't save these but you can bring them inside under lights if you're worried about the freezing weather.

I am worried about the big freeze, but then again I am also worried about the electric bill if I put them under lights. I was hoping for a cheap way of heating the greenhouse.

This means it could be hotter than that in there. I have been opening the door all the way when this happens which I'm thinking isn't a good thing. It's letting all the humidity out and the temperature goes down to around 15 or 20 degrees Celsius. The plants I already had started inside have not done any more growing and the new seeds I planted have not started yet. Any tips would be helpful.

I'm not a big fan of mini greenhouses for that reason. It's really tough to regulate temp and humidity inside of them.

@@MikeKincaid79 Ok thanks. I've just started experimenting so didn't want to go into the expensive of something bigger. I love you channel. I've learned a lot from it. Thanks again.

Hi Mike, I've really been enjoying your videos. I live on Vancouver Island and have developed the recent hobby of gardening. I purchased some hybrid trailing petunia seeds that I really love. Is it reasonable to expect to propagate at the end of the season to produce these plants over winter for the new season? As well as ivy geraniums? And, can the trailing fuchsias be propagated the same way? And if so when is the best time to do it? We are zone 8b. It has already started cooling down here and the rains have started. Thx for your advice.

Hey, Sonia, we basically live in the same climate. I'm 30 minutes east of Olympia, Washington. We sure did need this rain! You can start seeds now as long as you have a greenhouse and lighting to keep them in. Make sure it stays warm enough so the plants can thrive. Personally, I don't like to mess with all that through the winter so generally start my seeds in the early spring.

[@soniaknippshild1617]

@@MikeKincaid79 I meant propagating Mike. The seeds I'm good with. I've never done the propagation thing before so not sure when to start. I'd be doing trailing fuchsia, ivy geranium, training petunia.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Those plants are all propagated during the growing season and you can start in the spring when the new growth is starting to firm up a little.

Hey Mike. Cathy here from Pittsburgh formerly st Petes. Do you know about hardy fuchsia ? I grew them in Oly. They go dormant in winter but reliably return in spring. I can't find them here , grrr. Do you know of a source? Online. The cuttings I stuck are looking really good. Haven't ckd for roots yet..... I can't wait. I'll keep y posted. Xo

[@MikeKincaid79]

Hey, it is you! Wow, all the way in Pittsburgh? Too cold for my blood. I do know about hardy fuchsia but don't have any here. A few years ago, when I did this video, I left the mother plant in an oak barrel and it regrew in the spring but you know how our winters can be so mild some years. I would think you can find hardy fuchsia on Ebay or Etsy. Have you checked them? Good to hear from you and I hope all is well!

[@cathymc9685]

There are some hardy fuchsias growing in the backyard of my old house in Lacey unless the current residents got rid of them. There are so many little nurseries in the hills around Issaquah. I found some little species cyclamen that were so precious. . I'm desperately looking for some little nurseries close to me. But most just have very mundane common things. When are you going to start a retail nursery. You'd do well with your ability to propagate everything. Take care xo

W have huge Fuchsia, when were blooming I gave all purpose plant food, and after that fuchsia flowers died and fall down. Can I cat all bad flowers around?

[@briannewley1989]

is that the same with hardy fushsia cuttings ??

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes

[@eliarvanitou9118]

I love fuchsias and have paid good money for them everytime. I dont know why but I tend to kill them. So I gave up on them. Maybe I should try to propagate some and hope that some will make it

[@MikeKincaid79]

They're easy to propagate, have fun, Eli!

[@chompers11]

lmao mike my fuchsia's adventitious roots are going SO NUTS!! I left just a tiny about of space between the top node and the soil, say a quarter inch or so... there are SO MANY tiny white roots there and even more below. I can't get over it.

[@brandonallen9853]

How are you growing those fuchsias in that heat? Where are you located? Would those thrive in Texas? I definitely want to get some of those. I hear they die in the heat. What do you think?

[@MikeKincaid79]

In Texas, I’d definitely keep them in shade. I’m in Washington state near Olympia.

[@brandonallen9853]

@@MikeKincaid79 cool. Thank you for the information. We have a different kind of heat here in Texas. Our tropical heat is special. Lol. Ive grown fuchsias here before but was only able to keep them during the spring. They were always gone before summer. I wonder if they would grow for me here in the air conditioned house?

[@noel888]

Did he say what was the medium that he used for the cuttings? Can I do this now, midspring?

[@MikeKincaid79]

You can do this right now in spring and you can use any medium that drains well and holds a little moisture. Just about any well draining potting soil will work.
