Propagating and Growing Lavender From Cuttings

[@bethanytallmon9454]

A couple years ago I successfully rooted two lavender plants after following these instructions. Just came back for a refresher as I plan to do it again.

[@JBtheExplorer]

Very cool. I did this with Lavender this past spring with zero experience. Instead, I just stuck em right in the ground at my grandma's house. Gave her four with the thought that only one would grow for her, but they all did with very little care.

[@MsEmily56]

I just recently viewed a couple of your videos...propagating roses, lavender from cuttings. I love style. Thanks for the info....💋

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

I am the lavender destroyer. I made so many mistakes I had to go buy new lavender because I had nothing left. Now that I know how to kill lavender I have better idea how not to. I will try your method of growing cuttings. Thanks :)

[@ManifestingMoni]

Lol sounds like me with all my plants lol

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

Manifesting Moni Now I plant them in pine bark mulch and have no casualties. Potting soil mix is not good since it has too much pit moss which works for big time moisture loving plants but not for most. Try pine bark. It's cheep and it eventually turns into soil unlike wood chip mulch which stays the same for very long time. I have most of my plants planted in pine bark now because it works. I hope this helps with growing herbs. You can use your dried out flowers as medium to grow plants. I use heavy soil for tomatoes because they grow faster in such but I still mix it with mulch. Bottom line: bark mulch is better than potting mix :)

[@DulceHMK]

Aspirative Music Production. I'm also a lavender killer =n=

[@tiffanybecker1591]

I am super good at killing lavender and I have wanted my herb beds to be packed with it 😩

[@barbzkarauria3625]

I am also a destroyer of lavender :-( I love it so much, it’s my favourite plant and I want to grown it everywhere!! So here I am watching all the how to grow lavender videos on KZbin. One day I will be a lavender expert and people will flock from all around the world to get lavender advice from moi !!!!

[@jennieward6517]

Thanks for this! Going to go round to my parents now and steal some cuttings!! :)

[@rickeycroux]

I love lavender and I want my whole garden full of it for the smell and the bumblebees. Have been buying them from the store but are expensive now I know how to gett my garden full ..... thanks :)

[@tago8039]

Always helpful to see the results at a later date. And I like to see video posters that answer questions.

[@ericaracz]

T Ago - Ditto

[@dooodette8950]

Middle of March, zone 7, perfect! Mine is already very green since it is hot here but I'm hoping for the best, thank you!

[@KathleenJean53]

Thank you for your great advice. I have had great success growing lavender in Maine in gravel rich areas and cover with clean sand in the winter. When I clear away the sand in the late spring I get plenty of stems that have roots which I can snip off and pot up and nurture till they go into a new spot.

[@DonnaMSchmid]

*prances around, excitedly* We got your seeds!!! Thanks so much!!! If this snow ever goes away, we'll have fun planting them this year!!!

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Nice.... hope you have a great growing season.

[@danielm7585]

I always put my clones, and cutings on a water bed heater at 75 degrees, it really makes the roots take off. Last year I sprouted Two tomato seeds, and cloned 48 plants off them. I was just trying to save seeds.

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Interesting idea, thanks.

[@allenlivera1611]

I wish we were neighbors. (Too bad I live on eastern Long Island.) You know a lot and are clearly a very nice guy. Thanks for these helpful videos. Cheers Allen

[@LegumesEtFleurs]

Great video! How long did it take them to grow? Would you please make an update on this? I plant to plant more lavenders as a I love the scent but of course they can be expensive too. Maybe, I can make some cuttings from my two lavender plants by using this method. Thank you so much!

[@pixiepqueen]

I love rain.. we don't get much of that here in Perth Western Australia. envying your rain big time!

[@theresah5937]

You have a beautiful smile. Thanks for doing the video even the unexpected rain showed up without "an appointment " haha

[@ZephyrFeatherMyst]

I just love your video! I love the smell of lavender and the flowers are so pretty! Thank you for sharing and teaching one how to propagate lavender:)

[@robertroemer6505]

Way to stick a few inches all the way in! Seriously though, very much appreciated. I'll try this tonight.

[@tinamc2529]

Between the rain and the frogs... It sounds just like Oregon!!

[@kathleenbyers932]

What an awesome how to video! It was so very helpful to me. Thank you.

[@hart796]

Was there an update to this video on the progress of the lavender cuttings?

[@lindahansen9413]

Love you are talking about the frogs.. and for a little time go of the toppic 🙃🙃🐸🐸🌧💦

[@piscesrain8882]

I enjoyed the sound of the rain , and well ... Hey I had to pee anyways ! Lol good video , thanks !

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

😂 same

[@10code4]

Hi, How are they looking now after 2 years? I've never had any success with propagating but I have one small lavender plant that lived through the winter, (I can't believe it!) and I'm going to try this. I also subscribed so hoping to educate myself more. Produce from the grocery has no flavor anymore. Sorry I got distracted..... Mine is French Lavender and it smells like heaven! Thanks for the video!!

[@johnberry5339]

Just love your tutorial, thank you very much from John in the UK... :)

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Thanks and you're welcome

[@CheapskateGardener]

great video I enjoyed it , love the sound of rain always calms me

[@trueriches21]

One of my favorite plants , and favorite smells too.

[@samstoff]

Exactly what I was looking for. Ty

[@cathyanderson8197]

yes it does, usually as soon as i try to go water out back the wind starts blowing the water back in my face. hilarious. ok back to plants, its now june 10 and mine is way up and rolling and forming blooms. i ain't waiting til fall to cut these, i'm willing to forgo some of the blossoms bc i have so many blooms. i need the cuttings - would you just whack it back on a few stems each plant down to make sure you get 2 leaf nodes? thank you for sharing - you do great videos.

[@mickeypena3505]

Thanks, I will give a try!

[@Vladjenka]

Alright, this was the most usefull tutorial on multiplying lavender I've seen so far, but I still have some questions. 1. How often do you water them after you make the cuttings? Do you keep them damp, wet, or do you let the soil dry out? 2. How long do you need to keep them in the house (in the same temperature)? When are they ready to go out to the garden? 3. If you make the cuttings in march, can you plant them to your garden the same year? Summer, autumn, or do you need to wait till the next spring?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

1) I keep them moist but not soaking wet until I see growth (usually within a few weeks). Letting them dry out will stop root growth. 2) They stayed in the greenhouse until I saw significant growth on them. 3) My plants went out in June into my raised beds once warm weather is going good and temps don't get too low at night (above 50). So yes, the same year.

[@Vladjenka]

Thank you so much :) I dont have a greenhouse, but indoor will work just fine. ♥

[@seeamerica1]

No apologies needed on this video, personally hearing frogs croaking is better than hearing a TV on in the background like on some videos. Personally I love the sound of rain, I have a sound machine which I use to drift off to sleep with the sound of rain.

[@goldenserenity2385]

Good video. Would be great to see months later

[@M0D0C42]

Just talking about feeding sliced bread to the frogs, shut 'em right up! They were either very excited or very scared? LOL Nice tutorial on propagating Lavender from cuttings, too. :)

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Thanks, For some reason they know when the camera comes out. We have a small 3' plastic pond next to the garage. Dumb idea on my part. They breed like rabbits LOL

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

When I get my camera out, someone starts running a weed whacker, or an airplane flies over head or my grandkids start yelling, "where's the cookies?". lol. I love lavender. Thanks for the tips.

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Oh ye, I forgot the airplanes :-) Thanks!

[@stephanielong5578]

Do you have a new and recent picture of your new little 6 plants? Curious to see how they did. I bought two lavender plants earlier this year and I've planted them and let them flourish and do their thing. This coming Spring, I want to propagate from the cuttings and hopefully get a few more. Mosquitoes HATE Lavender (and lemongrass btw) and I want them all over my back porch haha. But, Lavender is expensive and I want to just keep spreading them until I'm at a number I like.

[@sklee1644]

Thanks for sharing. What is the ratio of the soil? My Leander keeps dying on me.

[@Jaynexox]

Thanks luv!! Saw yer vid n subscribed. Please if you have time..(hah hah) i have a problem!! Friend had a super leggy lavender bush she wanted gone. I went n roped it up coz it was spread n dead about 6ft splay. BUT i was bad n didnt replant. Tips on reviving? And can i just use peat moss n dirt or is vermiculite needed for propagation? No worries about answering n thanks muchly!!🌿🍓🌿

[@theartsyintuitive]

I tried this but mine didn't survive...I love lavender...my plant was already blooming flowers so maybe there why. I'm still learning. Wont give up

[@andrewengstrom1516]

I just grabbed a full-bloom 'cutting' from a bush that had been run over in a chick-filet parking lot. I got a large piece full of new growth and wood. Should I scrape bark off the wood and use rooting hormone, or cut off young pieces, clip the flowers off, and just put those in?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

IMHO I would use young pieces and use the rooting hormone

[@reinaesteras]

you are helpful and interesting to listen to , ty

[@Gardfee]

Good explanation will definitely try this out.

[@patriciakellmann7237]

Do you put holes in bottom f plastic cup and can you just keep in bright light in house till spring etc thanks hope to hear from ya soon

[@Growyourheirlooms]

I live where it doesn't get hard freezes. I you live in a cold zone, I would do it early spring and put them out just before they start putting on green. Also, if you double stack the cups, you can put holes in the inside one for drainage

[@janellygomez3304]

Thank you for the help

[@Reesfun]

What species is that. Looks totally different than my zone 9 lavender.

[@Growyourheirlooms]

+Theresa Higby It's an old variety given to me years ago that was growing in a neglected field. Don't know the variety.

[@overthemoon9941]

Yep doesn’t say whether it’s English or French lavender..doubt if he even knows.:)

[@The_Real_DreamM]

Thank you ✨

[@thebutterflywizardess8042]

What kind of lavender are you using? does this work on most or all lavender breeds or just the one your using?

[@rlewis36]

How long would you say until the lavender cuttings are ready to be moved from cups to being planted in the ground? 🌱

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Once they start producing more growth.

[@blueskyeranch6495]

Case some video! So easy! Thank you

[@twistluv]

how often do you water these cuttings? do we keep them damp or allow them to dry a bit before watering again?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

+Emmy Zhang keep them moist until you see growth. Then let them dry just a tad bit before watering

[@twistluv]

+Grow Your Heirlooms thanks for your reply! I have a pot of lavendar which I watered too much. The bottoms are black and spreading up. I tried to save it by getting rid of the soil, soak the roots with water and wash it abit. I also snip of most of the black leafs and then repot the plant. I'm trying to propagate the cuttings in case the whole root system fails. I didn't cut off the roots as I duno which are the good and bad roots. =( and I'm afraid the plant plant will die if I cut off all the roots =/

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

A Coworker gave me a branch of her Black Locust tree up in Williams, Oregon, I am trying for the first time to make tree's from the cuttings of this large branch. Will this method work on my Locus tree?

[@pamperyoursenses2865]

what was the soil mix? I know you sd what it was, if you could spell them out so I know exactly what to get? please and thank you!

[@qwerty2020val]

1 part peat moss or coco coir 1 part vermiculite 1 part potting soil

[@marezeedo]

Can I take a cutting from a lavender plant that I just purchased? Its only about 10" tall now. Or is it too young to take a cutting?

[@GreenTipsGarden]

I'd definitely say yes, but obviously don't cut back to woody material as it might not re shoot. And don't take too much material.

[@SilverSixpence888]

You don't have to put them in a bag? How often do you water them?

[@kjakamura7678]

I bought 4 pots of lavender this spring. 2 are looking brown at the bottom. I believe I watered them too much. 😥 can I still save them?? Please help.

[@codybarron2530]

How long does it take for the start to become a "small bush" size?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Took mine a couple years. But they're still growing strong

[@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me]

You've obviously used this method before, if it hadn't worked you wouldn't keep doing it, so I don't see a problem with trying it. My lavender is buried under 6 1/2 inches of sleet, I sure hope it makes it!

[@purpleButterFlyAQ]

what do u mean when you say put the cuttings in 70 degree temp room

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Put the cutting somewhere it is 70 degrees

[@brysonwallbridge5692]

You said 70 degrees. Is it celsius or Fahrenheit? Sorry im bad at spelling

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Fahrenheit

[@Jennifr1966]

My landlord has a beautiful lavender plant that she's grown for years, but never propogated it. I'd love to ask her for a cutting, but have NEVER asked for anything like that. 1) How would you ask? 2) How many cuttings should I ask for?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

+Jennifer W For me, it's easy to ask. When I come across something I love, I always praise the owner and tell them I just adore the plant and would love to take a few cuttings. If you take 3 or 4 cuttings, at least 1 or 2 should take. Believe it or not, most people are actually flattered that you love their plant so much. I know I am when people ask. I'm always happy to oblige and share the joy.

[@chawntelh]

I would just say, "I love your plant, could I possibly take a cutting to propagate." Then reassure them, if they don't know that taking a "cutting" isn't going to harm their plant. It's very easy to grow a cutting, I did it by accident as a child, so anyone can do it. Good luck and I hope she gives you a cutting :)

[@overthemoon9941]

Tell neighbor should be cut back or thinned out..keep it simple. UT has many videos on how to trim it back bc it gets too woody..

[@noahbell3340]

How much light do you need for lavender to propagate well. Should it be sunlight or would something like a grow light be better to not scorch them?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

They went straight into direct sunlight. Never grew them indoors

[@noahbell3340]

Grow Your Heirlooms Thank you! I appreciate the help.

[@overthemoon9941]

UT has lots of videos on lavender..it does need 5-6 hrs sun...

[@kristenwinter8157]

Can you use take root hormone?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

You sure could

[@trueriches21]

I took cutting from it and it's the Sumer time, is this okay to do or my plant gonna get made at me soon?

[@GreenTipsGarden]

You may have success, but just keep an eye out for developing flower shoots and nip these out as they will use the plants energy up instead of producing roots.

[@trueriches21]

+GreenTipsGarden success! You told me first am so happy I pulled on one and it had long beautiful roots and now I have many. Should I bring them in for the winter?

[@GreenTipsGarden]

I keep mine inside over winter. But they will need plenty of light or they will grow elongated shoots. If you have a cold frame you can keep them outside. Just with a little protection from the worst weather.

[@trueriches21]

+GreenTipsGarden every time I go to reply I watch the whole video and just let it play. Perfect video.

[@christinedaaewannab4559]

What if you don't have a grow room?

[@fpsfreak4079]

how do i know which part of the woody part to cut?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

fpsfreak When in doubt, always cut the youngest, which would be the greenest. Stay away from the woody or brown looking stems.

[@razamadaz3417]

i want to grow barley so as to make my own budweiser,..any tips?

[@jasonvoorhees7583]

If I wanted like 6 acres worth of lavender... Is my best bet starter plugs? Or seeds? Anyone ever do a big amount? I hear seeds take way too long. Wife wants purple field. yes dear. 😂

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Lavender seeds do take a while to germinate, but if you cold stratify them you may have good luck. I would definitely try it. 6 acres is a lot to grow from cutting and shoots. It would take a while.

[@chamsnour9884]

very good. svp est ce que vous pouvez traduire en français.

[@2gentlehands268]

Can you use air-layer technique to propagate lavender? Anyone ever have success?

[@grantdm]

I tried this with honey instead of root hormone and they all died. I think I did not select the right brances. I clipped the ends, not down to the base like you have. thanks

[@xxmaybememoriesxx667]

could be the honey. most honey is not real honey, contains no pollen, and is just corn syrup. buy a good organic honey. it work and is naturally antiseptic so it will kill any bad bacteria. you really don't need either honey or root hormone. just root in water, keep the water clean/fresh, some can take weeks to months to root depending on the plant, some only a few days to a week.
