I’ve been taking cuttings of plants for many years - it’s not that I need more plants, but there’s a satisfaction in growing something yourself. I’ve taken cuttings of the same “Hot Lips” salvia that you have, along with several other varieties, and I no longer bother using rooting hormone as I’ve found that the success rate without it is about the same (just as your results seem to indicate). For a rooting medium, I generally use a 50/50 mix of peat moss (or coconut coir) and perlite. I’ve had more problems with my cuttings rotting when I use regular potting soil. Thanks for the great videos - I always enjoy watching.

You guys are super cute. What a way to embrace the quarantine!

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Pink Giraffe! 👋 Oh, thank you for saying that. 😃👍 This was a really fun video to make. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RealJingy]

That is so great to see what to do and how to get a new salvia going... So far I have only been able to drown them or watch as they wither and go brown.... It's good to know I could try to just grow a whole new plant some day soon. Thanks @SG

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi RealJingy! 👋 That's great to hear our video is helpful. Yay! That's why we do what we do. 😁👍

[@elsitabebe]

Thank you for these videos. I love the science experiment process behind them. I have some Salvias which I've tired FOREVER to propagate from stem cuttings from the old wood with very little luck. I will try again with the new growth and see what happens. My favorite pollinator shrub. I want to get all different colors of salvias. New subscriber.

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi elsitabebe 👋 Thank you for watching! We hope you get some of your cuttings to root and we agree...salvia is the best!! 🌿

[@user-wr3ip9if6n]

Hi Shaun and Alison, Thank you so much for the advice, that was very kind of you. I have of course subscribed and I will continue to follow you on KZbin.

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Martin! 👋 Thank you soooo much for saying that, watching our video(s), and subscribing! We hope to help you on your gardening journey as much as we can through our videos and other content. 👍😉😁

[@jaxson6133]

Very interesting thanks, I've just put 6 cuttings around the side edge of the pot with no root hormone.

[@myinfinity1743]

Where were the plants kept 🤔

[@TheEnchantedWoodnymph1111]

Great video and Thank you. By chance, have you ever used honey as a rooting agent?

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi from37on! 👋 Thank you for saying that. 😉 You know, we haven't used honey as a rooting agent, but we have been asked this a few times now, so it might be something for us to try for the next cuttings we take. Have you tried it? Sounds like a great experiment! 👍

[@silverhippie3910]

When they get good long roots like that. Can you just plant them in your yard?

[@kellywilsonhollidaypeterson1]

What time of year were the cuttings done and how were they stored ?

[@Rio-pw6jj]

Hi . I did the water test on my salvia kiss.... ,I put in 4 cuttings in a jar of water , and 2 out of the 4 had roots yeah!!!!!!!! Thank you Now I will try salvia Amistad and salvia (Wendy’s Wish) (England UK)

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Kevin! 👋 Wow! That's fantastic! Great job! That's soo cool, definitely keep going and see what else you can root. Woohoo! 🔥

[@mariensanchez2475]

Nice!!!

[@pattymcswain2168]

Very helpful. Thanks. P.S. ROOTS!!! Not ruts

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Patty! 👋 Thank you for watching and saying that! And "saying" roots for Sean has changed over the years, so that's super funny you said that. He has gone from roots, to routes, ruts, roots, and back to ruts. Hahahahahaha! Glad you caught that! 😲😂😉👍

[@StevenCaird-vy9zj]

Hi guys I live in Liverpool in UK Have you ever tried to take cuttings from salvia Cerro potosi Would like any info you could supply me with many thanks Steve caird

[@lauraolsen6030]

I would like to know what is in your seed starting soil. It may help the cuttings without hormone added.

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Laura! 👋 Interesting point and could be. Dare we say "further investigation is needed" (official monotone voice..). 😃 We can nerd out more. Yay! For these cuttings and rooting experiment, we used Espomoa Organice Seed Starter Premium Potting Mix: amzn.to/3aSxevf . Thank you for watching! 😄👍

[@jandomekphotography6829]

Any thought about putting rooting hormone in the water? I like your Science Sunday. Thanks for making Covid 19 quarantine a little less boring. And don’t forget to VOTE on the election!

[@SpokenGarden]

@Jan Awww, thanks for saying that. We try to make our videos fun and useful, so we really appreciate that. 😉 We have discussed briefly adding the rooting hormone in the water, but haven't actually done it yet. We should check the label to make sure if it says anything about that and then maybe a little more research. Then we might try it. 😲 Have you tried it before? 😃 Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@tinaknutsen]

This is how I’ve done cuttings. Strip the lower leaves, snip the top, dip in rooting hormone and place in water. I also wanted to note that you don’t need potting soil or rooting hormones. If you have an area in your flower beds you can take the stem cuttings and just plant them in your garden beds…they will grow just fine!

[@user-wr3ip9if6n]

Good morning, I took 12 Salvia, hotlips cuttings just over a month ago and they are all doing great inside. Which video do I now need to see for the next stage. Should I now be transferring them back in to an outside bed ? - bear in mind it's now winter here in the UK.

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Martin! 👋 Thanks for watching and we are soooo excited for you! Wow, great job on your cuttings! 😲 👍 Really great question. Firstly, since they are still very new plants, we would recommend that you keep them in either their pots you rooted them in so they are less stressed and get their roots better developed. We wouldn't put them outside right now because they are sooo young and vulnerable to any temperature extremes, especially fall and winter cold, not to mention lots of wet weather, which they don't usually like anyway. If you can keep them inside or at least warm while outside, then do that, but they need to not be exposed to any freezing temps or really wet conditions. Optimal growing conditions of at least 11-12 C degrees so they continue to grow and stay healthy with little to no temperature, water, or sun stress. You should plan on maybe transplanting them over the winter, if they get too big for their current pots, into larger containers, but only plant outside this next spring when the last threat of frost has past. Here is our update on our cuttings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4fUlnWlpdSaZ9k We haven't transplanted them yet since they hadn't outgrown their pots yet, but you can see how we checked for rooting and some tips. Hope that helps and good luck. Thanks again for watching and keep up the great work! 😊😉
