Step By Step Guide To Bay Cuttings

[@purplethumb7887]

Simple and straighforward without all the unnecessary chatter. Thank you!

[@vickilindberg6336]

Bought a bay on line. One tall, rangy stem. Think they were trying to justify charging for a 2 foot tall plant. If I cut the top off to pot, will the main plant branch more? Thanks

[@maleahlock]

The concise instructions are very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@lizpoore5427]

Thank you. Nice to have a simple and clear explanation.

[@tanju9041]

This sounds quite straight forward, thank you. Just one question? Where do you keep it until it takes!

[@Lillyflower-J88]

Thank you for the video. I find your teaching on the subject very professional, clear and easy to understand. Im now really looking forward to doing my own with more confidence :-)

[@joaquinnanagas75]

Very short and simple.The next step is for me to try it. Thank you!

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Very clear instructions. I'm going to have a go. Thank for your video : )

Thank you! Saving a 15-20 year old bay tree.

[@flabbybabby]

Love the table, made the video so soothing.

[@GoingcavewomanCom]

Very clear. Thanks for taking the time to do for us.

[@MegaSkiboy]

Whats the best season to do this in? Spring? what month roughly?

[@judith1564]

Thank you - good, clear instructions.

[@Tommywinkles]

Thanks for a well described video.

[@msmith53]

Great music in background and thx!

[@Technotrucker57]

Thanks, clear and concise just what we wanted....

[@pjs-1287]

Can this be done anytime of the year? I’ve been propagating since the mid-70s and I know certain plants do better at certain times of the year. Also you do not recommend using a rooting hormone to speed up the process

[@tjcarr70]

Best in may in the uk when new growth starts. June should be okay too.

[@kramrenrut950]

Hi would you keep inside or out thanks

[@seans2505]

Thank you! Clear and to the point- Cheers!

[@didiwin78]

I've never heard the word secateurs, America of course. We call them pruners, but dam if I'm not gonna call them secateurs in my head from now on, it sounds way cooler!

[@rayw4804]

I thought you (in the USA) called them "shears"...

[@JackD87]

Thanks! What do you advise for after care? Safe to grow inside? How often do you water the cutting?

[@gawain8000]

Nice - simple, thanks

[@johnmcmyn9730]

Thankyou, very clearly explained. Why do you specify peat free compost?

[@bluestarrbeauty]

Peat bogs are overharvested and it takes a very long time for them to replenish themselves. So more environmentally friendly not to use it. I'm guessing that's why.

[@umayalpandurangan5318]

Nice explanation 😊

[@avrilvp]

Nicely explained - thanks. What is the best time of year to do this?

[@hugomarquez2415]

Normally when the temperature it's around 70 to 80 degrees.

[@A.L.M7113]

Very Nice planting madam

[@SMartypAntsPants]

Brilliant. Thank you.

[@gailpengelly8581]

Hey there, concisely put. Thank you We have an old wooden fence that has quite a substantial “tree” growing through it from our neighbours bay/laurel...would cutting one of the main stems (that’s growing on our side) be okay to propagate please? It’s such a beautiful colour, rich dark green but I don’t want to waste it. P.s our neighbours have given us permission. X

[@stevenhale2935]

Please learn the difference, bay is edible, laurel has poisonous berries!

[@TheLianneg]

@@stevenhale2935 Bay and Laurel are the same thing

[@stevenhale2935]

[@Sarahandherworld]

i've tried this several times with no luck :(

[@annchassagnard6513]

thank you - I shall try it later :)

[@erisar2001]

does look easy, may be better will be to try wit rooting powder...

[@anitaamin740]

Could you use rooting hormone to speed root growth? Would you use the exact same method to take olive tree cutting? If not, could you show us how to take a cutting from an olive tree. Complete newbie. Thank you.

[@rayw4804]

Rooting hormone should increase the success rate and make the cutting root faster. However the compost is a big factor in success. If it is not VERY well draining and too dense (not airated) then the base of the cuttings can rot. I lost nearly all of my cuttings when I first started (videos make it look so easy..) Now I use a better compost with coir, vermiculite and perlite. You can also cover the top of the pot with a clear bag (I use 2L lemonade bottles with the base cut off). If you leave that in place until it has good roots it keeps the leaves from drying which increases your chances.

[@meenaekhande8028]

Thanks.

[@bigj7321]

Can I first propagate in water?

[@silverfish8307]

Thank you 🙏

[@brucewayne9392]

I will try this!

[@dorothycalthorpe4007]

ive ben given some bay branches so I shall cut and put in to pots but use earth not compost

[@adampearce5633]

Great thank you.

[@davidscott4045]

time of season would be handy

[@rdelo90]

How much do you water the new plant? Everyday or every other day

[@gitaxias]

can I use a single leaf to regrow?

[@BovrilTechnics]

No, there are 2 growth hormones in the plant that go back and forth. The leaf would be sending the wrong hormone to promote root growth. This is produced by the new growth on the top of the stem in the video.

[@michealbarone]

Thanks

[@weatherby1982]

is it true you can smoke bay leaves and they clam you?

[@rr7firefly]

There are several KZbin videos indicating that you can burn bay leaves in the home to produce the calming effect that you asked about. I would caution you regarding smoking as this could introduce a highly concentrated dose to your system. Try the indirect method first and see how that works. (Careful not to set off smoke detectors!)

does not work! help

[@brett1354]

She didn't tell us it's temperature, light and watering regime. Things I'd like to know myself.

[@sudhanshu13579]

better spent time on air layering then cuttings

[@poverofnature3334]

you put bay leaf cutting in some pot and now we must believe you that cutting actually rooted. Where is the update??
