This roots extremely easily in the UK. Whenever my forsythia gets too big, I trim it and make 3-4 node cuttings out of the trimmings. I then poke those cuttings in some of my taller established pots. Normally more than half of them root and I notice little colour pops in the pots in spring😊

I hoped you would let me know if I can plant and grow from what is sold as dried clippings from a Forsythia tree and what exactly am I looking for, perhaps little buds to plant and water? Since I am learning abit on horticulture, I hope for any information you can share on this one as I am not familiar, I'm more of a sweet potatoes, and or banana pepper recognizing slips or seedlings etc, yet not buds, however it did end up combined with three boxes of taco shells....so these could have been crushed? Please help! lol

If it is dried out it is probably dead and will not root.

Once they are rooted you can transplant if you wish. If I did 10 I would expect 7-8 to take root and 2-3 to not root.

Great, a couple of questions. 1. How long does it take to turn that into a full bush with beautiful flowers in the spring? Is this something I do today, but won't see the fruits of my labor for 20 years? 2. If I don't have a nursery, can I just plant this in my backyard in the soil once's it's rooted and let nature take its course? I'm on Vancouver Island, so I don't have to worry too much about freezing temps in the winter. Mostly just rain. Thanks!

Hi so very straightforward! Question: what can you use instead of store bought root hormone? I heard human saliva or even diluted apple cider vinegar works...is that mythology?
@Dr.Warren Жыл бұрын
My channel is based off peer review and I try to keep my recommendations centered around science based consensus. To my knowledge there isn't a paper that would recommend saliva or vinegar. Also, just me thinking off the top of my head I can't think of anything biochem wise in saliva or vinegar that would increase the rooting percentage above not adding anything at all.

so just so I understand… When you showed us how to put the plant into the pot sideways the whole cutting was separate for the mother plant, right? And I'm thinking that you did that so we could just get a better view? My question is, shouldwe leave the cutting on the mother plant, scrape the bark, then put the limb into the pot? But leave it attached to the mother plant?

It’s what my grandmother did when propagating plants. She had a house full of plants inside and outside. It works. I learned from her. It’s made by bees and is full of hormones.
