Taking Autumn Dahlia cuttings

[@cherylskinner5224]

I have been following your video's and done many cuttings exactly as you show.Thankyou so much for explaining everything so well.....I now have lots more plants& some in bud already.

[@Nurse_Lucy]

Thank you so much for making a video that includes several stages. Almost all of the other videos about propagating plans only show the first step, and you are left wondering if it actually worked/was successful.

[@zahre_mar]

I wish I saw this sooner, thank you so much for sharing. Now I don't have to throw away the little ones that sprout in fall.

[@brendaschonig4471]

Me too. I dug up everything and threw the cutting out. We are in the low 30's at night. I saved the tubers to plant next year.

[@wildchook745]

Great tip. I'm new at growing Dahlia. I did my first divide tonight and ready to store tomorrow.

[@Jennifer-qo4kz]

thanks for the video. I love dahlias so I want all the info I can get. very informative

[@chaninmauery5894]

Thank you for this valuable information. I have a favorite dahlia that is throwing a sport variety in another color of itself. I wanted to take a few cuttings to see if I can stabilize the new color. Thank you for you help in learning how I might do this. Ta, from Seattle!

[@idaviemose5465]

WOW! Thank you for filming and trying the autumn cuttings out too. Mine have not been that much of a succes, but I do have some that are alive... But I have ´many problems with mildew, and I dont even grow them outside - they are all inside in my livingroom in the windowsill. I am about to build myself a propagator, and then I will try again in the spring. Great information about the growlights - they will be put on my wishlist :D And then in addition to being completely and utterly impressed with your skills as a gardner, I would like to tell you how much I enjoy your voice and relaxed narrating. It truly is nice to listen to your "lectures" and I learn a lot! So thank you for that. All the best from Ida in Denmark

[@vc131a]

Thanks Ida, pleased to hear that you found it both interesting and useful.

[@nursekrista2011]

Ida Viemose same here! Loved listening to the accent and very relaxing voice that makes you feel like maybe I can do this and I'm not crazy(like my spouse thinks lol 😂)! Thanks for the great video, very informative and enjoyed learning so much

[@whiskeytom1]

your getting mildew, b coz your plants are not getting enuff air.

[@kellinigh2398]

This was a highly informative video. Thank-you for the care you took in providing as much detail as you did. Not very many videos can be found on taking cuttings from dahlia plants in the fall. I am trying it but not with the success rate you are having. Was inspired by your methods. Such fun.

[@vc131a]

Hi Kelli, Thank you for your kind comments. The idea of taking autumn cuttings was really an experiment and subsequently was not all that successful. I managed to overwinter a quantity of plants only to have many of them die in the spring when I potted them on into a more fertiliser rich potting compost. I ended up with about five plants in total that went on to flower this year, so a worthwhile project but some more thought is required. Barry

[@williekerr8063]

I really enjoyed your video, very informative. I must try this autumn. I saw another video which says to cut a small part of the tuber cutting cuttings, so we shall see how that goes.

[@jsmith3980]

Thank you for a clearly explained video.

[@dymphwouters8449]

Great video and very useful info ! Thank you so much, Dymph

[@younglee3285]

Such a great informative video. Thank you.

[@rcp916]

I learned a lot of great info from your Dahlia cuttings video and I have so much more to learn! I fell in love with Dahlias last year (2014) and feel like I'm running behind this year!! Thanks again keep up the good work. I'm inspired to buy a green house and propagator a now :)

[@superkatertot5425]

what does he mean by "propagator?"

[@carolynmitchell2969]

Great demonstration. Thanks!

[@fatwarrington4136]

Another interesting Video, thanks very much. Can you please keep us updated as to how the cuttings finally go on.

[@vc131a]

Yes of course I will. There are so many question marks surrounding hollow stem cuttings, not least those voiced by Simon above.

[@snute2008]

As always a great informative video. Thank you for sharing. I would be interested in finding out more about the grow lights. What wattage are you using? Also it will be interesting to see how the plants develop. I have found that whilst cuttings taken with hollow stems will in fact root and indeed flower they sometimes do not make a tuber and if they do the tuber often is blind the following season. At least you will have an opportunity of taking further non hollow cuttings. Simon.

[@vc131a]

Hi Simon, Thanks for your comments - glad you found it interesting. The model I bought for this experiment is just fourteen watts (14w) so very low powered. I bought mine from www.growlights.co.uk/ but since then I have found them cheaper elsewhere ;-( Kind regards, Barry

[@jillianhealy3591]

Excellent video. Very informative

[@janetsears3783]

You are so talented.

[@marianneshu1743]

Thank you for a very informative video. I understand that the temperature should be lowered to about 10C by winter, but should the light time in the propagator be reduced as well?

[@hilshils3426]

A great video, thank you..what variety were they?

[@woodsiastudio]

So you did not soak the compost when planting but only watered with spray?

[@Esaipriyan]

What is the name of this rare variety you are propagating please ?

[@cbak1819]

Do you call soil compost? Whether seed starting mix or potting ?

[@cathyanderson8197]

part of the reason people stopped using rooting hormone is because you can root them with willow water we just grab some willow sticks that are thin chop than in quarters just sticks really and boil water and pour it over them

[@Townie001]

Will the cutting create tubers?❤

[@hilaryknight8127]

perfect video for me as believe it or not the date is October 5th 2020, same date this video was made but 6 years later. Im off to take some cuttings x

[@thehiltongirl]

Hi I bought some Dahlia's from the garden centre they are in 3 litre pots, I have just planted them in the soil outside and they are flowering well, can you tell me do they need to be dug up for winter ?

[@elspeeters1036]

Fantastic video. I am from Belgium and i am pleased with such a good explication. I wil tray to do the same as you did.Thanks ! Greetings . .

[@superkatertot5425]

If you get frosts then, yes they need to be dug up and stored.

[@RRAMir]

Very Informative video, very much thanks to you for this... I just want to know two things, 1. what type of grow lights you used (I mean the brand), and second where from I can get this propagator and grow lights.

[@marcusseidel6824]

I always thought you need a little piece of the tuber as well to have a successfull cutting.

[@Flower_hoarder]

🌿💚THANKS FOR SHARING ‼️💚🌿

[@vimstudios2512]

Hi! I’ve done some cuttings sealed in a plastic bag for humidity... they lost all leaves but now have some new leaves coming through. (Which was a nice surprise!) Would you let some air in now or keep them in the bag? They seem like they’re going a bit sludgy!

[@promiladutta7914]

Interesting and gives us confidence to try. Can this be done with all Dahlias?

[@henrygalea2066]

With out rooting powder the roots come from one side only. With powder roots come round all the stem.

[@angelabromley3712]

Some people while pinching will pop those in as cuttings.

[@TamNguyen-ow2fu]

Hi. Thank’s for video. May i ask about hormone you use in this video? Thank a lot.

[@rcp916]

You said a friend suggested you cut as close to the tuber as possible.... Does he suggest digging the tuber out or just cutting it all the way to the top of the soil?

[@aliciabollainygoytia1506]

Me encantan las dalias , compre una maceta y se me secó yo no sabía que tenían camotes y es por eso que deseo aprender todo lo que pueda con ustedes, soy una persona mayor pero necesito interesarme en algo , que haga mis últimos años feliz Gracias

[@Townie001]

Will the cuttings create tubers?

[@vc131a]

Yes they do - either small pot tubers or larger field tubers depending how you grow them on ...

[@MyOutdoors]

Mine are getting too wet in the propogator unfortunately, don’t think they will survive. I’m removing the lid in the day but leaves feel like they are soaked through

[@nashwaran473]

what will happen to these cuttings during the winter times

[@BrendaSchonig]

Will cuttings then grow a tuber?

[@rane655]

Yes, they will grow tubers

[@rcp916]

I have subscribed to your channel :)

[@Totoonthetube]

Very informative video. Thank you. Quick question please, What potting on mix do you use? Is there a special mix or normal compost. Thank you again?

[@vc131a]

The potting-on compost is just a straight multipurpose compost - I use 'Humax Original' ' - excellent compost without bin rubbish. Regards, Barry

[@Totoonthetube]

vc131a thank you for your reply. I will order the compost online. On a side note, you've stopped making videos of your gardening prowess😞. I haven't seen any new ones on what's happening in your garden or allotment. I know I'm being cheeky here but your videos are one of the best in terms of detailed information for a new gardener. And it's the little details which make a difference in failure or success. Please do consider going back to making brilliant videos and thank you for reading this rather long message.

[@nursekrista2011]

Totoonthetube I would also love to see and learn more from future videos!!

[@h4rperCH]

Fascinating

[@kennethstensrud669]

Use a pane of glass to use as a cutting board, better forboth the fingers and the cutting. Cutting the leaves in half just make an open 'wound' that make the cutting to oose moist urettferdig, i. e bigger loss of moisture and larger strain on the cutting.

[@onthemowwithjoe.7664]

I’m now watching this and it’s the 5th of October 2021 .This was filmed on the 5th of October 2014. I hope it works.👍

[@danielnogueira6434]

Quero em Portugues como plantar as dálias.

[@cw2126]

👍👍👍

[@kellinigh2398]

We are trying a similar experiment and frankly I do not expect a great success rate. I have started off fairly thick stalk cuttings in nutrient rich potting soil. The bizarre thing is that the stalks that I thought were good for the compost heap only are producing leaves. Perhaps what stands against this whole process is the natural rhythm of the plant-which may need a period of dormancy. But since you got five plants to survive and flower, I think the project was worthwhile indeed.

what variety is it?

[@aliciabollainygoytia1506]

Cuánto cuesta la suscripción y cuánto cuestan las plantitas,

[@henrygalea2066]

What a bad service by Google MALTA, some one needs to be fired.

[@SuperWoodyboy]

Light is too far away!

[@bobbeorn]

Especially LED. They produce hardly any heat and the spread is minimal. I mean that any area outside the 'footprint' of the unit gets NO benefit. The lights need to be mere inches away and raise every day if needed.
