Recently had to prune an itea and someone drove over half of a viburnum. So I figured I’d make this an opportunity and try to propagate since there are some areas on the property I’d like to fill in. I’ve had success with pyracantha in a propagator so I used that and also used longer pieces in tree seedling pots. Cut off extra foliage and immature berries. Hoping for the best.

Shrubs require longer cuttings generally and also take longer to root out. Enjoy the fun of propagating plants and try try again

I've successfully propagated nepeta and penstamons that are in flower. I just cut the flowers off, remove some of the bottom leaves, (which is where the roots will come from) and dip in hormone powder and let root over a month or so. Best to plant cuttings close to the side of a terracotta pot and keep moist and out of direct sun. Cuttings need to be about 8 to 10 cm long....if your cutting is something like daphne or a budleia make sure you cut some larger leaves in half, (widthways) to reduce water loss, and make sure you have at least 2 nodes under the soil, for better chance of rooting. Spring and summer, even early autumn time is the best time for propagating. Geraniums and fuschias are also good to propagate. I havent had luck propagating camelias, rhododendrons or ericas...they are really difficult. Most perenials can be divided with roots and is so much easier than propagating.
@rosyhardy18Ай бұрын
Yes all good suggestions. However we are propagating commercially and these are the tricks of the trade that work. We are chemical free and hormones are not used. There are plenty of other things I could have advised on but chose the top 5 mistakes our customers make. Enjoy propagating all types of plant material and keep trying with the ones you find difficult suddenly you will find the correct solution

Excellent video! I wonder how I’ve gotten anything to propagate (pure luck of the numbers) because I’ve been going about just willy nilly and from your very informative video, doing most things wrong!

Thank you so much Now I realise where I went wrong with a salvia I tried to propagate last month. - too long and the shoots were flowering ones that I simply removed the flowers. I shall try again tomorrow while we have this cool weather.

Thank you for your tips. I had mostly success with longer cuttings, but I will try shorter ones.
@rosyhardy18Ай бұрын
The shorts ones for us commercially are quicker to root. As you say you do get success with longer cuttings which is great. Do try the shorter ones and see how well you do
@r.b.8061Ай бұрын
@@rosyhardy18 For sure, I always thought they maybe to weak, but I will give the shorter ones a try. It is really fantastic how easy it is, to multiply much of the plants in the garden.

I slice into the base of the clone vertically to create more surface area for the cutting to root. Works noticeably faster.
@pattaylor719Ай бұрын
Thank you Rosy, very helpful. Can I ask, do cuttings at this time of year (July UK) need to go in the greenhouse or could I leave them outside against the wall of the house and do I need to put a plastic bag over the top to keep in the humidity? Thank you.
@rosyhardy18Ай бұрын
They can go outside in a spot that is not in direct sunlight. Yes some form of cover to prevent them drying out or for the wind blowing them

Hello this is a Pelagonium so not usually something I propogate. It is something that can be done from seed in a free draining compost and covered lightly . It will require temperatures of about 20C Hope this helps

I took cuttings from Sedum and Salvia and placed them in the potting soil about 4 weeks ago. Do you think they are ready to be transplanted directly to the ground? Or, should I move them to individual pots first? By the way the sedum cuttings have developed buds, no, they did not have flower buds when the cuttings were taken.
@rosyhardy18Ай бұрын
Plants will keep growing and flower once taken as cuttings. As long as you have roots then remove the flowers. If they have roots then you can transplant, or pot up whichever is easiest for you.

You are one of many on youtube who clam to know the proper way to propagate cuttings. Why should I believe you as the right one?
@RosyHardyGardeningАй бұрын
We can only point you to Rosy's experience in the area. Rosy is not a hobbyist, she has been running her plant nursery for almost 40 years (specialising in herbaceous perennials) and we propagate large amounts of the material sold. There are a number of videos on this channel that show how to propagate certain varieties and in certain styles, try some of those and see how it goes for you
