Propagating Petunia Cuttings and Saving Money | Rooting Petunias in the Hoop House

These petunia cuttings are easy to propagate and saved us a ton of money. In this video, I'll show you how quickly petunias start rooting and it makes propagating these plants a lot of fun! If you have a particular petunia variety that you like, save yourself a ton of money and follow the steps I used out in the hoop house. You'll soon have more petunias than you know what to do with.

Good video, Mike. Old retail/grower nursery person here. One trick I do is to pinch out the tiny growing tip of the cutting. That stops growth temporarily to let the energy go into making roots and by the time it is rooted there will be little side shoots coming. I also do that with the petunias in baskets and pots to keep them from getting too leggy. I just pinch the new very tiny tips of the growing stem, preserving any coming tiny bloom buds. I just randomly pinch the tiny tips over about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the plant. Big growers to this chemically. By doing this carefully, the baskets stay bushy and full and still have lots of bloom. Pinch a few every two to three weeks, or as the plants start to get a little leggy. Grow on!

Just wanted to thank you for my "lock down" petunia garden. I grew 72 plants from seeds under grow lights starting Feb 15. Then following your instructions I took 92 cuttings from the mature plants that are in hanging baskets. All 92 have thrived and are filling planters and pots. I am surrounded by flowering petunias...lots of deadheading. I also rooted basil, rosemary and thyme from grocery store herb blister packs and am taking cuttings from those. More herbs than I've ever had. I have ivy cuttings rooting in a bed in the front yard. You are my gardening mentor.

I learned this working in a nursery. This is how we would create our hanging baskets. We fill the basket with potting soil. Then we take 3 different colors of plants and take cuttings. We place them in baskets sporadically and let them go. In 2 months they are nice and full!

I love this idea!! I have been propagating via seeds for a few years. I find my petunias get very tall and leggy, but profuse blooms. Do you have to trim the hanging baskets?

[@marciahofer4502]

Perfect timing, Mike. I got a beautiful petunia for Mother's Day and the branches are about 2 feet long. I was just going to prune it back and toss them. After seeing your video I decided to propagate all the cuttings. After all this petunia has the largest pink flowers for a petunia that I've ever seen, so I would like to have it in different areas. It is close to the color of the Queen Elizabeth rose. The foliage seems to be larger than normal too. Thanks for this video, preventing me from wasting this beauty!!

[@silverfoxes65]

We used to spend a hundred or more on bedding plants. Not any more. It is amazing what you can propagate with your method. Last year we propagated geraniums. Just pull your plants up in the fall, cut off the cuttings, start them the way you demonstrated. Pot them up when they are big enough. Then take cuttings off of your cuttings and start them, and by spring for every plant you started with you will have 20 or 30 plants. I have also started perennials this way including, mock orange, lavender, hydrangeas, just about anything. Beats the $15 per pot on those guys. You can also make a little money on the side.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Sounds like you've got this thing figured out pretty well, and saving tons of money.

[@silverfoxes65]

Just takes time and space under the lights. That means I can't grow as many vegies indoors or I have to get more lights. Last year I converted my fluorescent shop lights into led's. The power usage was cut in half. So, maybe more lights for less cost. I'll try to sell that to my wife.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I'm considering doing the same this year and I also have to convince my wife. Led's are more expensive up front but last longer and cost less in power. See, now I'm trying to convince myself, haha!

[@silverfoxes65]

Mike, any old fluorescent fixture will work. Order the 110 Vac, single ended bulbs with extra tombstones and you will be in business. Basically you gut the boxes, wire 110vac to one of the tombstones and that is it. Doing Lights of America shop fixtures is a little tricky, but I managed to do 4 of them, and they all work. I buy the bulbs by the dozen, here's a link, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DJT1DU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Don't have a link for the extra tombstones as I didn't get them, but wished I had. Hope this helps. Once you do it, you will not have to worry about bulbs for years and years. They will light in the cold, another feature if you put them in your greenhouse in the spring. Hope this helps.

I took them home and cut off every possible twig. I made about 15 to 18 pots including the four original pots. All but one or two survived and I repotted them in bunches placed them around my yard. I think I had about seven pots. Last November there was still one pretty pink petunia blooming in the basket hanging off my back porch. Thank you. 🙂💐

[@jampubs1]

Did it work? How did you over-winter them?

[@albertkristian6502]

Hi Mike, i have followed your propagation methods for my petunias, roses, and osteospermums. I used the same tote, the green one with small windows on top to release some moisture; used the gel type root hormon; and put the tote outdoor with bright overhead sky light but not exposed to direct sun at all. The difference was, i used the potting mix for the medium. All cuttings performed well with new leaves and branches. Some of them even grew flowers. Some of them who i left the with bud in it, bloomed when they were in the tote, which was amazing. Problem is, after 1 month or so, i plugged them out, some have minimum roots and some had no roots at all. I dipped them again to the root hormone and after 2 months finally some of them have proper roots. Some of them still didnt perform at all. Questions: why the root growth was so slow? Was it because the soil was too wet (potting mix retains a lot of moisture), or was it because i did it in winter? Here in Perth, the avg temperature is 7-19 celcius during winter.

[@MikeKincaid79]

It might be too much moisture. I find that cuttings root better when they have to work to find moisture. It forces them to grow roots. Once I see the beginning of root growth, I like to start opening the vents a little and allowing for less humidity. This forces the plant to seek out moisture through the root.

[@philipatoz]

Couple of weird ideas about Petunias, etc. I live in a hot zone of the South (7b / 8a). Wave petunias seem to tolerate the heat far better than regular ones. I only do flower and small evergreen container gardening - I have tons of large to medium pots all across my front (covered) porch and my rear deck. I have different types of flowers mixed and color-coordinated for interesting contrasts. Evergreens are Alberta Spruce, Blue Spruce, Italian Stone Pines - typically with flowers planted around them in the same container. A few years ago, as the first frosts approached, I started covering my flowers every evening before the temperature dropped below freezing, and the next morning, after it warms up some, I uncover them. So, during winter days, I have summer plants blooming. Of course, you cannot screw up and allow frost to get them. Yes, it's a bit of a discipline, but I just keep a large plastic trashcan on both porches full of cheap white towels - easy to spend a couple of minutes covering them each night. And when spring comes, I already have huge, mature flowers and my spring flower purchases are much reduced. About the only flowers I find difficult for this to work with is inpatients - even covered at low 20s or colder, they may not survive unless you double cover them (two thick cotton towels, well wrapped). I have many flowers that are several years old. It's also a matter of knowing your plants light and temperature needs and mastering the art of proper watering.

[@lorrainecray3965]

I just love watching your videos and love hearing Jonny 🐓

[@MikeKincaid79]

And we're glad to have you as part of the family here!

[@lorrainecray3965]

Mike Kincaid I’m in my 60’s and have just retired due to health issues ( just getting old 🤣😂🙄) anyway now is my time to do the things I love 💕 hubby built an amazing hug greenhouse and it’s time to fill it with LOTS of propagating 🤣😂 ( yes I’m one of those who still buy from nursery’s 🤗) I love going to Bunnings and purchasing there marked down plants 🌱 with great success 👏🏽 oh just to let you know I’m from Queensland Australia. Could you tell me if I grow these petunias in a hanging pot on the veranda (porch) do they need full sun 🌞 or just full lit area? Now totally off the beaten track....I had a white rooster 🐓 named Jonny he was taken by a quoll one of our native creatures it was a very sad day and I miss his calls and your Jonny makes me smile 😊 ( and giggle when you think he’s noisy, he doesn’t overpower your videos he enhances them along with his gals 😁) I hope you continue your videos for a very long time you have got the knack down pat, so thank you for keeping us informed with these tips and easy growing. Bye 👋

[@MikeKincaid79]

Petunias will grow well with less sun but the more sun they get the more blooms they'll have. I plan to keep cranking out these vids for you for as long as people are watching them.

[@robertcarey8294]

Great video . cheers , you narrate very well , unlike some gardeners who make it sound like a very boring chore ! , good work , keep it up !.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Thanks, Robert! Glad you're here and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@dj33036]

We started with Petunias and ended with Fuschias, how did that happen?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Good question

[@ChaosIsMe222]

That sounds like a miracle to me!😂I mean that respectfully. If that were possible I'd have all sorts of plants from all the cutting I do! Good luck though finding an answer

[@jenmc9404]

There had to be a strand of fuschias in your Petunia plant I'd say

[@dinih.8754]

Aha x

[@margierousu468]

😂😂

[@sarahhajarbalqis]

Bought a couple of petunias today. Now searching the youtube for how to propagate petunia from cuttings. Watched a few. And this is the best. Will try. The comments are encouraging too. Thank you very much 🌺🇲🇾 [Also. Another bonus when we get fuschia from petunia cuttings :)]

[@MikeKincaid79]

Haha, thanks for watching, Sarah, and I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Many other propagation videos here if you're interested. Have fun and good luck!

[@taracotta4246]

Mike - love you man - from one green thumb to another, keep up the good work, really enjoy your videos and your passion

[@MikeKincaid79]

[@juanitaiveyivey]

dusti lol yes she is

[@michellenobile4199]

omg she is SO lucky!

[@mintybeem1444]

This is fantastic and will save me a ton! I know this is in spring but how late can you propagate in the year? I'm also going to try overwintering my petunias I bought this year.

[@jerifreeman7983]

I was wanting to know the same!

[@dejandurdevic8826]

Nice one I love petunias I will definitely try this...

[@SA-wb1jb]

You had me at "are you addicted to buying plants every season". I'm hooked - new subscriber here. Thanks so much.

[@MikeKincaid79]

So glad you enjoy the videos, Shelley!

[@hippiewillow4947]

WOW!!!! WAY COOL!!!! I didn't know petunias will propagate. They're one of my favorite flowers. I'll be doing this! Thank You!!!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Have fun with it!

[@Dolliedezaiffe]

Well I just found your Channel and I am subscribing! Thank you for your intervention I am one of those who are spending too much money on petunias every spring. Now you got me thinking for 2020 spring and I am going to buy one color each that I love and I will propagate. It will save me hundreds of dollars next year and the years to come! 😄😄👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MikeKincaid79]

Awesome! So glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. Have fun with the petunias next spring. You may enjoy the little series I started about overwintering them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGfTfKNurJWZq8U

[@juanitagibbs2100]

Yes I do want to do some more propagation l have pain so much for different Patunias this summer senior retirement. I am so excited thank you

[@MikeKincaid79]

Have fun and good luck, Juanita!

[@dejandurdevic8826]

I have the same addiction lol

[@MikeKincaid79]

It's a real problem, isn't it?

[@blablabladoer]

[@susanfryer1616]

Bit of a Tom Cruise

[@bethnia9053]

[@MikeKincaid79]

It’s a lot of fun!

[@Angela410R]

Thank You For This brilliant information I will most certainly use this to my advantage this year. Today will begin the trial run of propagation of my petunias. I'm sure of what no less than 30 of your videos today.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Good luck and have fun Angela!

[@danlewis1871]

I didn't think it was so easy. Great video Mike!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Thanks Dan, have fun with it!

Great video, awesome content, thanks for showing this money saving tip. Hello from South Africa.

[@MikeKincaid79]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

[@charlottenay5994]

Awesome instructional video. I’m going to take what I’ve learned and propagate some of the gorgeous petunias that I bought today. Thanks you so much for the great info.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Have fun with it, Charlotte!

[@chandiramdeen8156]

Petunias are my favorite plant in my garden. Thank you for your valuable video. Will definitely try your idea.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Most welcome 😊

[@tauraslady]

I love propagation of plants. So gratafying Plus you get more plants.

[@MikeKincaid79]

For free!

[@deirdrehickey2183]

Hi Mike , I love your demos. I have been following you for a long time. Great success. Love from Dublin Ireland ❤️❤️❤️❤️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@MikeKincaid79]

Love right back at ya, Deirdre! Thanks for hanging out with us on the channel.

[@rogerbrendabowman4808]

Amazing 🎉 I wish I’d known this years ago. I love plants and just yesterday I bought 3 dying pot plants and cleaned them up geraniums. Now I’m going out and buy some petunias and divide up. So glad I found your 🎉channel. I feel I’ve missed out over the years but as they say” 😂 better late than never “. Thanks

[@MikeKincaid79]

I hear ya. Kind of makes me wonder what I'm missing out on that I don't know about now, haha. Glad you've discovered plant propagation. Have fun with your projects!

[@maryspringer1442]

Glad I saw this video today..never thought to propagate my petunias! Just got a hanging basket that is huge. I am going to take some off that and start new ones for the garden, neighbors, and for the elderly at the local senior centers. they love plants why not share?

[@MikeKincaid79]

You can multiply that basket like crazy

[@tracy85777]

Mine lived through the winter in central Arkansas. Especially the ones close to the front porch. Probably from the heat that the cement absorbed from the sun, even in the winter. I could be wrong though. I love petunias too. I wish people understood about deadheading their flowers so they continue to bloom instead of going to seed.

[@sylviaflores2306]

Love Petunias! Can get expensive!! Thanks good video with followup

[@MikeKincaid79]

Me too, and yes, they do get expensive!
