I especially appreciate the pace at which he speaks and the thorough explaination given as to the reasoning behind the instruction. Listening to a person speak in an unhurried relaxed way is refreshing and much appreciated. Thank you.

[@infosupply2523]

He's really informative, but I'm so upset. I've had a plant that I bought as a tiny little thing and it just grew straight up as one stalk. I love it, but it got so tall and I didn't know what to do so I watched this for help. I did what he said, but it just seems to have died at the top and the dead part has reached the next stem, but no new growth has sprouted. I think I killed it :(:(-------------*** UPDATE *** I'm happy to report that I finally have new growth not only on the top shoot, but on the two below that one. they sprouted new growth at the same time. I feel much better and should've trusted the expert. Thank you!

What impeccable English enunciation - better than many native speakers! 😄

I absolutely love that Topiary form of Schefflera in the background, it’s magnificent.

[@AstroBackyard]

This is so much more in-depth than I thought it would be. In a good way

[@chrise3645]

You are a natural teacher young man .. Excellent video.. clear, concise, and most of all ... Enjoyable to watch and listen to. I will be using this tonight to propagate a 2-meter-high Schefflera arboricola thats gone crazy ... Thank you.. great vid 😘.. I will report back 😉..

[@mikemines2931]

Many thanks for this, I bought one of these plants six months ago and it's been in a large south west facing picture window so plenty of light. The wife says if it gets much larger it will open a window and escape up the side of the building.

Best video on propagation of this plant

[@tufernhel2925]

Excellent! I love the precise descriptions - wonderful for beginners who might not know for example, what is considered a leaf on this plant.

[@TopCatsFatDuck]

This video was outstanding!! Thank you so very much for such concise, clear, and helpful info! Hugely appreciated. ☘️

His voice is very calming .

[@SumithraIndoori]

I clicked on the video to know about Schefflera plant propagation..But by end of the video, I have learnt more things about propagation in general..🙏 Awesome work as always👌👍

[@soniaaswegan5768]

I'm a seasoned gardener, and I learned more than I already knew from this video. Thank you so much!

[@caitlincolpritt6492]

Very thorough explanation! I really appreciate the clear visuals too. I’ve had 2 unsuccessful schefflera propagation attempts and feel much more prepared for my next try, thank you!

[@RizzlePrivate]

How did it go?

[@cloudyromancex]

I really needed that. My Shefflera was active dying with root rot and her leafs were falling off one by one; so i figured i might be able to propagate it before i would throw it into the trash. Let’s hope the cutting will live😐

[@RuthMcKitrick]

Thanks so much for this detailed explanation of scheffelara propagation! Very helpful. 😀

[@irinapopov8909]

I am very glad to find this channel. I have two huge and messy umbrellas trees. Now I know how to shape it properly.Thank you!

[@jus4TrUtH]

Thank you for taking this time to slow down and explain and show where cuttings should happen.

[@BrixThePlanter]

9:24 I’ve watched enough of your videos to know this tip now and I just got a cutting from a restaurant for this plant and so I’m super excited to have used your tip and know that I have success.

[@janebuckland737]

So yes… you have done it again guys… I did not have a clue about propagating the little treasures. And really look forward to next spring. This was maybe on my list of favourite plants but after having bought them during lockdown and they have thrived for 2 years without needing a great deal of time and they always look so fresh they have climbed very rapidly to my top five favourites. Will be searching for a video from you for Alocasia my absolute top favourite plant but also sometimes such a diva they can be hard work. Thank you

[@kelseywhite9008]

This was a FANTASTIC instructional video on propagation! My husband attempted to propagate our umbrella trees a few years ago by just dipping the cut end in honey and sticking the cutting right back into the ground . Whatever article he read or video he watched on that method was completely inaccurate & unsuccessful. I have several of these growing in beds surrounding our back porch and are growling taller and unevenly than everything else. I have been hesitant on trimming them back the last couple of years. But Now after watching this, I’m very excited to cut them back now! Can’t wait to see the results from multiple cuttings I will be using your method on! Thanks for such a detailed & descriptive video!!

[@tiffaniemcmillan209]

This is a very easy plant to prop and grow. Such a happy little plant.

[@JustASliceOfSweetPotatoPie]

Thank you for educating me on how to take care of my Schefflera. I appreciate how thorough you are and that you take your time to explain, and as of now I am your newest subscriber!

[@sfobear85]

You are a life saver! I was moving and I broke a big branch off and now I know how to help my tree in many more ways than I knew. I should have been pruning it all along and I didn't know that. Thank you so very much!

[@ariananewcombe7737]

I am new to Schefflera and I am already in love with it. I have bought a varigated one ( yellow & green ). Your video is very helpful regarding propagation & soil mixture. Thank you for sharing it! I have just subscribed to your chanel.

[@kiwikatt12]

I tried the stocks like you did, but also tried little segments with 1, 2, or 3 leaves attached like some other videos suggest. The stalks with multiple leaves took 2-3 months to have good roots and plant in dirt. The small ones, some had one 2 or 3 nodes with just as many leaves. The ones with at least 2 nodes put of new leaf growth throughout being in water and have finally started getting roots and some are almost ready to put in water it has taken 6 months!! I put them in water June 29th and it is now jan 31st. Unless they lost all leaves and went mushy I kept them and it has paid off. 2 of 4 of the stock propagated ones thrived going straight in premium gnat reducing soil (w added perlight) other 2 went in non premium soil(added perlite) and died tho one was knocked over by a cat.

[@lev2727]

I bookmarked your channel, I never had much luck with propagation, after watching your video I could almost call myself an expert, I even managed to figure out how to boost the number of stems you get from a node. Thank you so much, your videos are way better than most plant videos I've watched.

[@amirdargahi896]

The best and detailed propagation tutorial i ever seen , thank you❤

[@sabinadonofrio8863]

OMG seven minutes and finally the cut takes a nose dive.

[@Hall_Meli]

This was interesting! We got one of these from my grandmother's funeral end of June. I absolutely loved the look if this plant but now about 2 months later, I'm worried they packed too many stems into the pot for the "pretty factor" & not for the plant's health. I can't wait to propagate a few new plants!! Thank you for helping keep my grandmother's memory alive

[@foggyvhs8790]

This was very informative! I've had my arboricola for years and it's just been leaning to the side so I'm glad I can save it, and when I looked it up a while ago I didn't think it could be propagated.

Very well explained. Thank you so much. Please tell us about Schefflera Amante. I had one that suffered a winter freeze. I am so sad. Still hoping to see some leaves on it. Please post a video to how to take care of them. As they are so hard to find here in Houston, TX

[@kimedick3999]

i cut a mine a more than 1 yr ago and i took the leaves i pulled off and put them in rooting compound and stuck them in soil. all 7 are still alive, 4 have roots but haven't grown at all, 3 have growth coming out of the top of the leaf! i think it will take a few years for them to become full plants but they're tiny and cute!

[@samanthacaine5208]

[@cdvax11]

Thank you for such a clear and detailed explanation. I think my mistakes have been leaving too many leaves on the plant and not changing the water often enough.

Thank you so much for this informative video. Now I know for sure on what mistakes I have been making in my attempt to propagate this plant and be able to do it with success.

[@alysonj7227]

I bought a Schefflera leaf cutting and although it put out a good root system - no growth on top! I've got back to the seller asking for a stem with at least 2 nodes. It seems so obvious after your explanation that these are needed, but when you buy something from someone, well, you just assume that they know what they are doing...

[@llamattude]

I was gifted one of these from a client. I potted it and was looking great. Watering on a somewhat regular bases. I usually water once a week, not sure if giving to much or not enough. Then all of a sudden the lower leaves started dying, but the leaves that are on it are nice and bright green. I'm starting to worry about it. I'm not exactly a green thumb when it comes to plants, it is hit or miss for me some do well and others not so well.

[@TopCatsFatDuck]

Mine kept trying to die until I started misting it every day. They like humidity so spraying the leaves seemed to keep it happy. Good luck!

[@sarahd147]

It may be getting too tall and putting all the effort into top growth … as it reaches for light perhaps 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@llamattude]

@@sarahd147 No, it has not grown since I was gifted it. Actually, it did not change at all since I got it a few months ago. I ended up losing it despite everything I tried.

Would like to see what a node looks like sometime. Could you maybe zero in a little closer? Love your podcast. I’m subscribing!

[@JoseCastillo-zm3vy]

This is a very helpful video because not only was I able to understand what kind of plant I had but I also learned how to care for my Schefflera and how to properly propagate. I am a novice plant owner and one thing I did recently with a leaf steam was plant it in a clay pot. This was a guess I had at propagation, before watching your video. What I noticed and my question is that I have started too see small roots emerging from the soil. Is this also a method of propagation and how do I need to proceed to create another healthy Schefflera? Thanks in advance.

[@catherinemalcolm5608]

Good morning 🌞 Thank you for sharing this information 🌻 My question is what time of the years is a good time to start cutting to replanted Thank you 🌻

Great info.... camera person needed to be much closer to show exactly where you were cutting. Thanks.... mine needs propergating/ trimming.

Outstanding, well thought out, explained, thorough, instructive video. Especially for a new beginner. I can’t express enough appreciation for your video. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! The best video. I think I will just keep to your videos for all my planting needs. Is there a “Search” within your channel on KZbin?

[@RubyvuBonsai]

Thanks for share. I have also tried some times with water, but I think the easiest way is choosing the branches that have aerial roots.

How do you see that the branch have aerial roots?

[@jovitag8631]

Thank you so much for the knowledge that you share, I really enjoy your channel. I have a question: if I have a tall, one stem plant, and I want to cut it and propagate two plants: can I cut the stem ant then devide it once more into new 2 stems and put those into water?

[@LR-ki5cp]

Exactly my same question because it's the same thing I have: a long long plant from two stems, so I was wondering if I could make two cuttings of that long one; otherwise, seems like a lot of wasted plant and sad to cut it :-(

[@LR-ki5cp]

The answer is Yes! I cut my plant and because it was long, I cut that in two pieces, put them in water and they're rooting and can even see the baby leaves growing already on top! Hope this helps.

[@hananmalaeb5645]

Yes I did the same. I cut a tall stem into two parts and they are growing roots and leaves just in water now until I move them to the soil.

[@LR-ki5cp]

@@hananmalaeb5645 I'm glad! :-). I already gave my cuttings away to friends to be planted. It's amazing how life find its way 👍🙏

[@maryshearer663]

Love this video. Saved it until I was ready to prune my schefflera. It came from my Mother's home. It was so leggy and became a popsicle shape. It grows very slow due to the light in my house. I have just trimmed it to try to propagate healthier plants. I am wondering what else I can do to the spindly plant I have left?
