#Propagating

[@davannhuynh4279]

Thank you for explaining the propagation process thoroughly and for sharing the video! I can't wait to try it!

My pleasure! ☺️ thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

Thank you so much for sharing. I never thought to try this method with phlox. I have done a similar technique using Gardeners supply seedling trays with the water wicking capillary mats for clematis and mahogany splendor hibiscus with fabulous results. I will try the phlox. Great tutorial!

[@Garden-Oasis]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I’ve learned something new from you as well. I’d never heard of capillary mats. I had to look them up and wow, they seem like a wonderful way to keep the cuttings hydrated. What a great invention! Thank you for sharing 😊

Loving your videos and your garden. Do you have a garden tour video where you explain all the names and identifications of your plants?

[@Garden-Oasis]

@@pixelsicle thank you so much. I have been making garden tour videos since spring. But the mic on my phone is terrible and I’ve been saving up to buy a better external mic so I can do the voiceovers. As they are, the audio is unusable. It’s all gusting wind sounds and my garbled voice 😅

Very helpful! I just purchase a pink plant with the intention to propagate. It looks so easy!

[@Garden-Oasis]

It really is easy to do. It just take a basic understanding of what they need from you (shade, water, the right kind of soil) and they take care of the rest on their own. Let me know if you come across any challenges and I’ll be happy to help troubleshoot, if I can. It will help others overcome those same challenges in the future. Good luck! 👍 😊

I read comments from several people online that they trim back their floc after blooming a bit to bring out fresh new growth. But sounds like these bloom on old growth. Would this affect the blooms for the following year?

[@Garden-Oasis]

No, not at all. All the growth that’s been emerging this year will carry next years flowers. So for example, if you trim them now, they’ll just grow more new growth, which will then flower next spring. You can trim them to keep them tidy without sacrificing blooms. The blooming buds form in fall (just like big leaf hydrangeas). It’s the cool temps in fall that trigger the blooming buds to form.

How long will they take to grow roots from cuttings? Thank you 🙏

[@Garden-Oasis]

About 2 months. But by then, you’ll be in the hottest part of summer so even though they will have some roots, you’ll treat them like they don’t and keep them in the shade till the weather cools a bit. When Autumn arrives, you can plant them out. Till then, leave them be and let them hang out in the shade. Propagation is an exercise in patience. You kind of just set them and forget them, except for watering. Good luck! 😊
