What a nice pep talk :) It can be scary to get in there. Thank you :)
You can do it and if it doesn't work the first time try again you will get it 😉
I got fresh cuttings 2 days ago and put them in water, in garage. I knew I couldn’t do anything with them until today. Wellll, over those last two days, we had sudden 100+ degrees PLUS humidity. Today as an example - weather Station says it’s 93 out, but with 53% humidity, it says temp feels like 114!!! Anyways, so while in water and I only two days - all leaves died. Suggestions?? 😢 I was thinking a humidity dome, but then realized they surely don’t need that with this high humidity here lol
My brother got a lot of moon cacti and i ended up having to care of them and i got the really recently. I was wondering will the top grow a lot or will it remain around the same size.
I have never got the top to live much over a year. Myself
I’ve taken cuttings of honeysuckle and now they’re rooting. The rooting powder has great effect. I’ve just taken cuttings from a butterfly bush hoping they’ll root the same way. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for watching 👀
this method didn't work for me,, I took the cutting exactly like you did, but the leaves where I cut them in half at the top turned brown and then slowly the stem turned brown from the top first. The soil was always kept moist. Not sure what happened, but I think next time I will try one in just water, and also I will not cut the leaves in half and see if that helps.
Could be not enough moisture at the top of plant. Try a spray bottle with water and give it a spray or two each day.
Just don't give up find what works for you I have tried the way others do some things and just don't seem to work for me but I keep trying there is more then one way

@jamee_maree most likely will not root but if it was all I had I would still try and put the in a cooler place
Worse video I've ever seen. Glad you could see what you were doing bc i couldn't
Sorry to disappoint
thank you
Thank you and have fun. Share if you would. Going to try to make some more videos soon
All the info above is good and correct about getting cuttings ready to root, but 5 weeks is long by my standards. Not all cuttings will root at the same speed. In only 2 weeks I have 1 cutting from BBush that has some nice roots already. In similar pots to the above I will make a greenhouse effect and keep them humid and under lights if you have it. I also prefer soilless mix to root cuttings. Later on after rooting is good you can up pot to regular potting soil or mix.
Thank you will try this
I've done what you said. Keeping my fingers crossed. Now to keep an eye on them, water them as needed and for the best by the end of the first week in August. Thank you for your guidance! I planted six starts. 😊
You have got this 👍
update on success? Thanks
Thank you. Think I’ll subscribe. This was very useful 🎉
Thank you
I usually throw out or compost when I trim. I'm going to try this so I have more bumbles and butterflies to watch.
Share the love

Thanks for doing this. I'm going to make another attempt at this. The ONLY time I have succeeded is with my prize winning, as far as I'm concerned, Callistemon, which obviously draw alot of bees as well as butterflies. They are at about 10ft. right now and already blooming. I managed to get just one cutting to take off, and I'm happy for that. I just transplanted it. Maybe these will do better this time.
The main thing is to not give up make small changes each time until you find what works for you. I have tried things I have seen that works but for some reason not for me. Thank you for watching 👀
@@PlayingwithPlants Exactly! What I've tried, specifically in this very dense clay area, is what I've found to do that actually works. I'm not just talking about the propagation and potting nature of all this, but the point of transplant and afterwards. Even though I'm in more or less the same growing zone as Texas or Florida, means absolutely nothing in regards to this specific landscape. The ground in this area needs a great deal of preparation and continuous work. I can show you picture after pictures in this entire town, the failure of Crepe Myrtle for example, where nothing has been done. Basically, in this area, just the results of across the board neglect.
You may have to dig a extra big hole and back fill with better soil/mix
@@PlayingwithPlants I always do. You really have no choice otherwise in a place like this. Most people here fail at doing so. They dig their initial hole at whatever instructions for the young transplant. Once the roots of the Crepe Myrtle, and Azalea which is extremely tolerant to this climate, reaches that limit, that's it. The plants, flowers, trees, or anything else stifles and will not bloom, at best. You see this CONSTANTLY in this place. I recovered a rose bush under these hideous conditions by digging up around and below the root system, adding compost, and bringing in extra soil to layer over that. Besides the usual fungus treatment and attack by these insects. It's doing better than ever right now. Otherwise, that rose bush would be finished. I don't have the before pictures from last year or 2. Let's just say it was bad. Very bad.
@@PlayingwithPlants The good thing is after you do all the initial hard work at the beginning of your location here, the work the following years gets easier, right? Because I've cut up and chiseled away on previously. Not let it set year after year without lifting a finger. There is some guy down the street, among others, with 4 Crepe Myrtles in a row. If they even survive this year, they will never bloom again. That's why everybody and their brothers' sister has palm trees in this place. You don't have to do any work. Just because I'm on the gulf coast, this is a FAR CRY from being in Florida.

Seed pragating
Never done anything from seed as far as I know never seen a seed from it. Sorry I can't be of more help
I ordered online 2 rose of Sharon. I just received them (November 2,2023) they came in a small pot. Can I put them underground or should I leave them outside in the pot.I have them inside the house and they are losing their leaves.. I’m afraid they’re dying 😢please help. Thank you 🙏🏻
Not sure what growing zone your in but they would do better in ground then in the pots if keep outside. If I was to keep them outside I would put them in ground and mulch them to help protect the roots from the cold. I'm in the cold part of zone 7
@@PlayingwithPlants Thank you.. sorry I forgot to tell you that I’m in zone 7b.. if I’m not wrong. That would be Long Island NY. I will put them underground and mulch them 🙏🏻
Thanks for this video! It was really helpful. I planted some black bamboo in a horse trough last spring. They’re around 3’ now, very full & fluffy too. Do you think it’s too soon to cut some of it out and transplant some into another horse trough -outside? (I’m in Austin). Or should I bring them inside & put them in smaller pots (like your video) for the winter? Only 5 more years & we won’t have to look at our neighbors bathroom window anymore.
I'm not real familiar with black bamboo also what growing zone are you in
@@PlayingwithPlants Thanks for responding! I’m in Zone 8. I don’t know for sure, but I think there isn’t any difference in black bamboo besides the color of the stalk.
It should be fine outside I'm in the cold part of zone 7 you may put some mulch or straw on and around it just to be a little safer
What's the difference between potting soil and potting mix??
Potting mix has no soil it is a soilless mix and Potting soil has soil in it. It is heavy will not drain as well and most I have seen doesn't hold water as well
@@PlayingwithPlants Thank you for explaining that.
I loved your advice about 'Do it before you think you're ready to'. That's gardening in a nutshell. I had no idea these were so easy to propagate or I'd have already done it, but now I'm going to have lots of butterfly bushes. Thank you!
Thank you for watching
I wrote that saying down too!
Thank you for watching 👀
Is there a certain time to propagate? I can’t wait to do this! Thank you, sir
I have done it in the winter in a heated greenhouse but spring or summer works better
@@PlayingwithPlants cool! It’s summer! Thanks!
Great video How long does it take for the young plant to mature? Thank you
I was kept getting bigger for about three years
Mind blown! I have so many succulents growing in my yard and I was wondering how I could get some for the inside of the house. I'm doing this this weekend! Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching
I just this last night and watered from the top. D'oh!
😅 but a too long!
?
Will this work by placing the stem in water?
Not sure never tried it that way if you try it let me know. Sorry I could not be of more help
@@PlayingwithPlants thanks for the reply. I’m selling my house and want to take a piece of my garden with me. I’ll try your way too.
Thanks so much
Thank you for watching
Hi! How soon after do you water it???
Give it a few days
didn't know it was that easy,,going to try that for sure
Thanks for watching. Good luck on your new adventure
"Practice will make better" love that!
Thank you but it is very true 👍
Well I had to laugh when you said you were growing Red Robin and Tiny Tim tomatoes. EVERY fall I plant Red Robin (from saved seeds) into decorative pots and place them on my window sill along with Little Sicily, Tiny Tim, and various short varieties of peppers for growing all throughout the winter months. The flavor of the Red Robin and Little Sicily cannot be beat! And they stay short and productive until mid-June, when they get kicked outdoors along with all the regular tomato transplants. I give away Tiny Tim to neighbors along with other plant starts. People are always happy to have tomatoes already ripening when they are just putting in their younger transplants. The pepper plants will grow on my windowsills for four or five years, though, before I put them out with my regular pepper plants. Have you ever tried Tennis Ball butterhead lettuce, Red Romana, Freckles, romaine lettuces, New Red Fire or plain old cheapy Grand Rapids leaf lettuce in your greenhouse? These varieties grow like weeds for me in the green house even through extreme heat and down to the freezing mark. I grow many more varieties, but these are the most popular with visitors along with the lambsquarters and Marie's Special garlic. People just love them. Another fine video, Thank you!
No I have not heard of some of them but will be on the lookout for them. What growing zone are you in.
I will be sharing this video with one of my grandsons who loves birds and plants. Ever notice that the bigger the pot the more gi-normous those Aloe Vera plants grow? The great grandmother of my kitchen plant got to 5 feet tall so I gave it to a neighbor with a sliding-glass door to plant it in front of. It immediately shot up a tall flower stalk upon transplant into a large planting tub. And grew another foot! It began as a three inch tall Mother's Day gift from my son only five years earlier. Amazing plant, the Aloe!
Yes they can get huge.
Great video, thanks. Just what I needed to see today! I am seriously going to do rosemary this year. Frost in July or August always does it in for me, but I will feel better if I can snatch cuttings from my indoor plant. Or someone else's plant. This year my plants will be placed in a rock herb garden with glass panes all around among the heat - lovers and a water well to retain heat near the more tender herbs. A fun project with grandsons that I am going to share this video with soon.
Thank you very much for watching
Thank you! ❤
Thank you 😊
Great tips my friend 😊👍🌱
Thank you for watching 👀
First time ever hearing about them.
They are fun 😄
Why do you let it sit for a few days before replanting? I've never had to do that before.
With the open cut it can start rot. If you let it sit a few days it will Callus.
Mine still healthy with bright green body but without the top after 6 months. What to do to make it grow something out early? Please help, thank you so much!
Give it a lot of sunlight if it has been in the home just a little each day slowly a little more each week and a little water base fertilize keep above 45°f
When is the first watering you give the new cuttings after repotting?
I water my mix lightly before placing my cutting then let the mix dry out before watering again
After it gets a few roots water it more Dragon Fruit likes water
Thank you I just bought a moon cactus a few weeks ago and was just wondering if it was possible to get the root stock to continue growing, secondly I have germinated a few dragon fruit seeds and am just waiting for the little seedlings to grow up big and strong!
Great video! I am doing this as soon as the growing season starts. Thank you again!
Glad you enjoyed
Nice! Ty!
Your welcome
I love the advice that you give us at the end of the video. Thank you
Thank you
What to do if the bottom part dies? What should I do with the red top?
You can try to cut it off and let it dry for a few days then put it in some cactus 🌵 mix to see if it will root. Never tried it let me know how it goes. Sorry I could not be of more help
👍
Thank you
Miss you guys posting. Hope you start again.
I will try I have been helping a friend with her business only home 1 to 2 days a week thank you for watching 👀
great video. I watched your video and planted my butterfly bush cuttings. I covered them in plastic. I bought a small frame zip up green house. Can I keep them in there covered? It's September and winter is coming. thanks.
How cold 🥶 does it get where you are at
@@PlayingwithPlants I'm in Maryland so it can get real cold, snow etc.
I would say not with a newer rooted plant a well established plant is good down to around -20°
Thank you!!
Thank you for watching 👀 and share if you would I hope to get some new videos out soon
Thanks for the tips!!
Glad it helps
The top if my moon cactus died so I cut it off and now, on a top corner of the remaining cactus, I have a skinny, new growth. It's super skinny and long so I'm wondering what I should do with the new growth. I'm afraid it will get knocked off!?!!!
Stick and tie it
