Hi Mike! I am a newbie at all this. I really liked your video! So if I transfer the cuttings to larger pots once roots are established, (it will be the end of August when this happens) do I keep the plants in pots inside over the winter and they will be ready to plant in the ground in the spring? I live in Canada and am in zone 5.

There are multiple ways you can deal with this. Here's a playlist I created that helps explain many options. Also, I have brought some plants indoors and grown them all winter long, such as petunia. Here's the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLpmpssr45yfMtl3yav-vy1qGsTDdTVWSl

Thanks for this video. I was able to follow this for some Weigela Carnavl cuttings. We live in USDA zone 6a. The cuttings have been in their original planting containers (4” pot) since planting 9-10 weeks ago and I am thinking of moving them to a 1 gallon pot for overwintering. The question I have is… the cuttings have grown very well with some of them currently around 12” high. Should I prune them back some to encourage them to bush out more or just let them continue as is and cut them back when dormant or in the spring?

If I root and then plant some in my landscape will they survive the winter (zone 6B), or do I need to overwinter them? Just not sure if a plant from a summer rooted cutting will be strong enough to survive the winter a few months later? Or is it fine?

Varigation requires certain cells in the plant stem to be carried into the new sprout cuttings generally grow. By pure luck you could get more varigation, or less. If only green cells divide and end up mothering the new sprout, then it will only be green. Never a guarantee to get a variegated plant from a variegated cutting. Temp, sun and general plant happiness can also revert varigation, however if thats the case, improving its conditions should bring it back. Juvinile leaves can also not show varigation and will pop up as leaves mature. Although specific to weigela, the lack of sun is often the cause in my exp

Sounds like you aren't acclimating them. They need to transition slowly from an environment of 100% humidity to the outside air, which is around 50% more than likely. Start by just cracking the lid one day and then each day, removed it a little more, if you see them start to wilt then slow down or hit them with a spray bottle. Once they get use to less humidity, then they are fully growing on their own roots and you can remove the lid and take them out. You're on the right track, just need to do this one last step.

Love your videos Mike! I have tried everything you have taught.... I ended up changing to coco fiber as my medium... but still end up with a high percentage of rot 😢. The coco fiber seems to be better but I think here in Kentucky we just have way too much humidity in the summer months. Really would love to learn how to propagate roses etc in the winter when we have less humidity.

@rphjacobs91973 жыл бұрын
@@chachadodds5860 .... I actually started with vermiculite... it caused rot worse probably because it holds on to moisture even more.. was thinking maybe next just trying pure perlite. I have spent HOURS following Mike’s directions and end up with mostly rot. The few that make roots still end up turning black and dying. So severely frustrating... yet I keep doing it haha. The few successes I have had have been with longer stems with 2 liter bottles over them like Mike showed... but again... they ended up dying once I tried transplanting them. I thought maybe I might have better luck (even though it takes longer) with hardwood cuttings over winter. I am bound and determined to figure this out. 😉

@@rphjacobs9197 ha ha ha. When I read your comment it sounded so much like the way I comment I double checked your user name to make sure it wasn't one of my old comments . Your experience so closely mirrors my experience. This summer I tried Mulberry hardwood cuttings Startin June 4th . My cutting pencil diameter all rotted in builders sand . Only two of 1/2 inch thick cuttings didn't rot in builders sand . The thick cuttings didn't rot but didn't root from June 4th to July 11th . I have 3 pencil diameter Mulberry cuttings I just stuck in the soil . A combination of clay and loam soil in a heavily shaded area which have put on new growth and presumably seem to be rooting Then I have a a fence line Mulberry little tree that has 5 leaders growing out of the ground . I blocked it on with bricks to make a pot and and filled in with available soil on the spot to simulate stool bed or ground layering. And they are growing white roots . . I exposed the cambium ( green layer) applied aloe Vera gel and dusted with that worthless rooting hormone they sell at home depot and Lowes ( same formula as Clonex .03 % buytal acid) on a my cuttings . I don't understand . Everybody raves about Clonex and yet it's hormone content is the same percentage as the worthless crap I buy at the local store. Well anyhow I love your comment in that your comment reinforces my horrible experience. Cheers . Today's date is July 12th 2022

@@rphjacobs9197 Oh I started off with vermiculite as well for hardwood fig cuttings in the shoebox way that JSARCADUURA does and like you all the cutting rotted I think vermiculite blocks out the oxygen . I went to extreme length to get a moisten yet dry vermiculite mix by blotting the hand squeezed vermiculite with absorbing towels and the hardwood cuttings still rotted in 3 weeks time I don't think pure perlite is the answer either it retains too much moisture like builders sand does I thinking gravel or glass marbles may be better than sand or perlite and water only flushed every 3 to five days . Who knows
