Some may not know, but this flower, has an awesome fragrance, extremely hard to resist, I just went to a new friends house, spotted the shrub and she had no idea it was there, or that it has such an alluring scent. She said I could take some cuttings😃👍

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Yes it has a sweet smelling fragrance and you could easily propagate by cuttings. There are also some new cultivars now that are dwarf form. The older version like mine need to be pruned otherwise it will be at towering height.Somebody asked me also on how to prune them & if have time next week might show how to. Enjoy gardening...

[@nightstar525]

I just found one of these in a wooded area in my yard, took your advice and took several cuttings, some softwood some hardwood just above the junctions were other leaves were, scratch the wood as suggested by you and added root hormone and just stuck them in the dirt, sure hope they survive because they are gorgeous 🥰, mine is in a thick area under tall trees so it isn't real thick kind of scraggly actually but so excited to find it

[@reeltrides911S]

Beautiful flowers. I don’t know how you know so much about all of these awesome plants. But I’m glad u do. Great teacher.

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Hahaha, yes of course I know most of the different plants due it’s my passion. Once u live with them then u will be connected to them like children & u will also discover their characteristics.

My mother bought me a mock orange bush when i bought my first home. She got it cheap, only $5!! I had 0 idea how to garden and told her to put anything she wanted anywhere. Now it is 6ft tall, i only prune the front of it because when it flowers, it fills the entire backyard with the intoxicating beautiful smell! I took some cuttings and removed the bottom leaves like you showed, but didnt scrape the bottom. I shoved each stick about 5cm apart in a pot. When the frost hit, i forgot to take them inside and thought they were goners for sure! This spring, when the 5ft of snow melted, I was amazed to find 6 out of about 15 had lived!! I was even more suprised they flowered! I thought for sure it would take time for them to flower but nope, they are tiny little branches full of flowers. Im going to clip more and use your method to propegate more and make a hedge with them in the front. My only "complaint" is that they dont flower for very long, id pay good money to have one that flowered all season lol! ❤

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Thanks for sharing your great experience with gardening & yes we have lot’s of surprises. I wish also that the flowers of this plant last a long time but its not. The plant that I recommend that could be grown outdoors that lasts a long time are hydrangeas & for indoors are phalaenopsis orchids. Enjoy and have fun gardening...

[@cadavher]

@@plantbodybydesign7534 I have 6 orchids inside, I love them! I will have to plant some hydrangeas, thanks for the idea! 😁

Thank you! My neighbor has one planted next to our yard so I will take some cuttings soon and put them in other places in our yard. ❤

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Yes very easy to propagate plus it requires pruning every year due they will take off quick. I believe there are new varieties that are dwarf form also. But you can just ask frm your neighbor since it is fun to propagate by cuttings. Enjoy gardening.My sister use it as a hedge and they are beautiful when they blossom & very scented.

have 3 mock orange bush flowers on mine do not get as large as yours. Very lovely. Do wish they bloomed longer than 2 weeks in early spring. Going to try to start new plants looks very easy, thank you for the info.

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Great that you like this plant like mine. I enjoy the sweet smelling flowers and yes wish that they bloomed longer. After blossoming you can prune them and use them as cuttings to reproduce more. You can also use them as a hedge by trimming them every year straight at equal lengths on top and sides. Glad that you find it informative. Thanks to hybridization where you can now acquire a dwarf form too like the Minnesota and miniature snowflake varieties. Enjoy gardening and thanks.

[@chompers11]

Amazing video, it's hard to find information online about propagating softwood cuttings. Why do you plant them in groupings? To save space while propgating or does it like to grow in small clumps

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Thanks & so many ways or methods to do cuttings but showed u the one that I have tried & successful. The groupings is just to save space & for mass production esp if you want to start a nursery business. I u plan a nursery business, it is good to mass produce them by digging a canal or plot on the ground, then pile your cuttings together then cover with mixture sand and soil mixture. Enjoy...

[@Canuklhead]

loved your video! your green space is heavenly! would you be interested in doing a video on Pruning a mock orange. I have a strong healthy Mock orange but it does not bloom. I havent pruned it but the puppy chewed off some of the branches last autumn. The new growth is immense though just no flowers and its nearing june end

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Thanks and glad you find it informative. Yes I will make a video on how to prune. If not blooming, try to fertilize with a complete Fert : 10-10-10 (NPK) like a miracle grow, and the plant likes a full sun.

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Finally, just rreleased a video on how to prune & basically, we prune to maintain, aesthetics, rejuvenate, clean dead stems or branches & to maintain the height we want….Enjoy...

[@uzohf11]

Is this variety Deciduous or Evergreen?

[@sarahjohnsrud4293]

Do you have to put them in a planter or can you put them strait in the ground?

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

It is up to your choice. If you plant them in a planter you can move them around without disturbing the roots. If you plant them directly to the ground then they will grow faster and taller. But I recommend to prune them after blooming, then you could use them as cuttings to reproduce more plants. Enjoy.

[@nwenwesoesoe8833]

Do you propagate in spring or autumn? Thank you.

[@plantbodybydesign7534]

Hi, the best time to propagate is autumn or after the flowers are finished. But actually if you have a stock available you can propagate anytime. The advantage if you do it during autumn is due to more moisture & help in the generation of new growth. Plant cuttings react in conditions when there is a combination warmth & cold conditions. Enjoy successful gardening...
