Plant Propagation S3-E3 - Making More Screening Plants

[@jamesricci881]

Great video, my question, does the time of year matter when trying to root new plants-Zone 5-6?

[@amywright2243]

I did my first attempt last weekend. I'm going to try some more this weekend so they will be staggered. Trying Sweetspire and forsythia. Thanks!

Hi, can I just put my 🌞 ligustrum in water?

[@alteravi2790]

how fast will the cutting of holly grow?

[@meowtotheworld4801]

What kind of tray is that? Is it silicone? Reusable?

[@fuzzguzz2520]

I will be waiting for the update! im gonna start propagating soon and this is awesome motivation! thankyouuu

[@JimPutnam]

Good luck with everything. Lots of different ways to do it

[@Morbidwolf2011]

How much water would you say you spray on the plastic every other day? Or how would I know I should put water in there.

I love Edward Goucher Abelia, with their burgandyish pinkish color in the leaves. I can't find them anymore at my garden centers and what they do have are more of a yellow-orangish color in the leaves which doesn't go with my other plants. I will have to try to find some around town and take a few cuttings and give this a try. I haven't rooted anything in the last fifteen yrs., so the refresher is of great help. Thank you!

[@JimPutnam]

Go for it. Good luck with them

What time of year is the best for getting ligustrum cuttings?

[@ivy4559]

Thank you so much!

[@Gondor_Sanitation_Dept]

Do you know how to propagate Southern Wax Myrtles by any chance?

[@anitahadley2871]

Have you ever rooted in vermiculite? I have a bag of some, I can’t remember why I even bought it, and it says on the bag it can be used for propagation. Just wondered what else I can do with it.

[@JimPutnam]

It will work, but you might want to cut it with pinebark to help it drain a little

[@nancysego4989]

Yay, love your channel! Great information ❤️

[@JimPutnam]

Thank you

[@natasha3922]

Hi Jim. Do you have to use the hormone to get the cuttings to root?

[@JimPutnam]

No, but it does typically give you more uniform rooting

[@myk1200s]

Jim also some people say that it's a clone some say just put it into the ground if it's genetically strong it will produce roots on its own what's your opinion?

[@julieh7009]

Great info! Thanks!

[@Landy_R4L]

DONT YOU STRUGGLE WITH ROTING CUTTINGS

[@ksero1000]

I do! 😞

[@deborah9708]

Great info would attempt the plants except no ligustrum it’s a severe allergen to our family.

[@jleighblue]

Jim, I've got a lovely Major Wheeler lonicera that I want to take cuttings from. Would you handle that the same way as the abelia? It basically never stops growing here (7b Wake Forest, NC).

[@JimPutnam]

Exactly the same and they should root pretty fast.

[@heatherderaway5437]

I for the life of me, cannot get my Nellie Stevens Holly cuttings to root.

[@landipan]

I wanna try this with a mont bruno boxwood, they're expensive and hard to find!

[@diamondyolo9010]

I would like to buy an office holly from you.

[@alteravi2790]

is that Nelly Stephen Holly?
