Yes. It confuses some people if the stem is hanging over the side of a pot (so the stem is actually upside down like on a Pothos) it gets confusing as to what’s “top” and what’s “bottom”. So instead of that, I just follow the “whatever part is closer to the mother plant is now the bottom of your cutting” rule of thumb. Even if it was hanging upside down when you cut it off. If that makes sense.

I’ve never tried it from seed. They’re so easy to propagate that I’ve never tried it. But I don’t know how successful it would be to just sprinkle the seeds because, as I’ve just found out, phlox seeds need complete darkness to germinate. And being out in the sun, I don’t imagine it will get much darkness. If I were doing it, I think I would try germinating them inside, in a dark spot. Then, when I see them emerging, I’d move them to a shaded spot outside, like under a tree, to kind of “baby” them a bit (probably for a month or so). Then when they’re well established and growing well, I’d move them to a spot with morning sun… but like I mentioned, I’ve never germinated phlox seeds so I’m just guessing.. but I have germinated other seeds and that’s what I usually do. Hope that helped

You can do soft wood cuttings. I’m almost done making a softwood cutting video that you’ll be able to follow 😊 will upload as soon as it’s ready 👍

@@Garden-Oasis THANK YOU! I subscribed, so I won't miss it!

So glad I could help! 😊 let me know if you come across an issue I didn’t cover, I’ll be happy to help, if I can 👍

Only if it’s looking a bit ragged in certain spots. If, for example, it’s gone through some stress and maybe a portion of it isn’t looking its best, you could cut it back to encourage new growth. Or maybe it’s encroaching on a neighboring plant, you could cut it back to keep it where you want it . But other than that, I don’t cut mine if it looks happy and I’m happy with how it’s spreading. If it does need a trim, the best time is right after it’s flowered 😊 good luck 👍

Great! Let me know how it turns out or if you have any questions along the way 😊 I’ll be glad to help if I can 👍

I also have a softwood cuttings video coming up. You could definitely give the hardwood cuttings a go and if that doesn’t work out, you could try the softwood cuttings video 😊 it will be a fun project to undertake and so rewarding when you look at a plant and know you made that 😊

You’re very welcome! 😊 happy to help!

감사합니다 🤗

Yes 😊 I used to plant an entire 30 foot row of cannas that I would grow from seed every year. I’ve changed it up over time and now have perennials and roses there but it was glorious while it lasted 👍

Well if we want to be specific it’s supertunias, calibrachoas, and Superbena verbenas but that wound have made a looong title lol. The point was to look at something pretty rather than be super preachy with names 😁

Thank you 🙏 😊 have a wonderful day as well!

This method is the same for ANY cutting from ANY plant

Hope that helped 😊

@@Garden-Oasis Yes it does! Thank you so much 😊

It was my pleasure! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 😊

You’re very welcome! And you can have the same color throughout the garden for a unified look 😊👍

I love happy accidents, don’t you? It makes me so happy to have helped you turn that broken piece into a whole new plant 😊 Once this one roots, you’ll have two plants next year to take cuttings from and get 4 new plants 😁 yay! 🙌🎊🥳

You’re very welcome! ☺️ thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

Thank you! 🙏 😊

It really is. The peach one is the best of the drift series. The multicolored flowers steal the show every time 👍

Yes, absolutely. Though sometimes I wish I could live in a tropical place so I could garden year round 🥲

@@Garden-Oasis I know! I did thought about the same recently since I am getting into gardening, like I wish it's spring / summer all year!

Just a random ornamental cherry that we bought at Costco for the front yard, but then I ended up buying a weeping cherry for that spot so this one got randomly planted between two fruit trees in the back yard. It’s getting really big.. did not think that placement through, I must say lol

I’m in New Jersey, zone 7a. But you can prune the way I do in any area as long as the plant is at the stage I describe. The only difference would be if you were in a warmer zone, then your willow will have woken up sooner than mine so will be further along and will turn green before mine ( because it woke up before mine, if that makes sense). But no matter what area you’re in, when it loses the white color, that’s when you trim it. Then it will grow again and by late Autumn will have grown long branches again, so you cut again. (Or you could leave the branches till late winter and cut right before spring) as long as you have them trimmed before they wake up in spring, the timing of the second cut makes no difference since the plant will be asleep/dormant. I hope that made sense. And don’t be nervous about trimming your dappled willow. They are extremely tough plants and will respond positively to trimming. Just make sure it gets a plenty of water 👍 it will be fine 😊

@@Garden-Oasis thank you for all the info!

@@lesw3803 you’re very welcome! Cheers! 😊

I’m not sure what zone you’re in and if your phlox has bloomed yet. If it hasn’t bloomed, absolutely you can. If it’s blooming now, you’ll get about half the cuttings dying on you because all the stored energy has been transferred to the flowers. If it’s done blooming or about to be done, you can take softwood cuttings. For me, here in zone 7, the phlox is almost done blooming and we’re about a week away from the new growth being ready to take cuttings from as softwood cuttings. I’m making a video as we speak and will upload soon, if that interests you 😊 👍

You’re very welcome! 😊

This video is on hardwood cuttings which you will be able to follow in winter. But I’m almost done making a softwood cuttings video that you’ll be able to follow during spring and summer, if that’s something that interests you. Will upload as soon as the cuttings have matured enough to be viable softwood cuttings. For sure in the next couple weeks. 😊 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰

Thank you so much! I’m cooking up a softwood creeping phlox video right now, you’ll soon be able to take cuttings and make more if that interests you 😊. Things always look good when repeated throughout the garden 👍

Aww thank you so much! I’m so glad. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated 🥰

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😊 cheers!

No not at all. There are people that have the same plant for many years and it just kind of “creeps” along lol. It’s not invasive and not hard to remove. The becoming woody part is usually due to a lack of water. It will only put on green growth to match the water availability. If there is very little water, it will put out very little tender green growth because that growth will require water to stay alive, if that makes sense. And cutting back the top a bit, every now and then, followed by some fertilizer and regular watering should revive any older plant that’s gone woody.

These are better in dappled shade. It’s suffering in the spot you have it. Sounds like it’s dying. You have to dig it up and move it to a spot that has more shade or put it in pot to grow out for a while till it’s bigger and can handle more stress. Digging it up will also answer the question of whether it’s getting too much water or not enough because the sun is drying it out faster than it can pull up water. If you dig it up and the roots have turned mushy or dark in color, it was too much water. Wash off the dead roots as much as you can, Put it in a container with fresh potting soil and put it in a shady spot to recover. If you dig it up and the roots are bone dry, pot it up and follow the steps in the video.

Yes you’re absolutely correct. Thats usually the case with things that are “full sun” in our area. In the heat of the Florida sun, they need to be in some shade. Same thing with things that are full sun from zone 3-7. In my zone 7 they need to be in part shade because we are on the outer edge of what the plant can tolerate. Great observation 👍

I’m in zone 7a so just 5 degrees away from 6. Your rose will love where you are. Just give it some slow release fertilizer (I like Osmocote plus) just to help it get established. After the second year, it’ll just take off and you won’t have to fertilize it if you’re not inclined. I haven’t fertilized mine in years. It gets everything it needs from the soil 😊 good luck!

Thank you so much! Planning an arch about 8ft high and center stage!

@@phunkit926 it’s going to to be fantastic! This rose is a continuous bloomer that gives me sweet smelling roses all summer long. And it’s incredibly disease resistant. Truly one of my favs

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 😊

Thank you for the suggestion! Yes,I love dahlias and I do have suggestions on how to grow and store them. I will definitely make some videos on what I personally like to do 😊 And thank you so much for the compliments 🥰

Omg thank you so much! That means a lot to me 😊 and the video is almost ready, I’m just now hardening them off outside before I plant them in full sun. I wanted to make a complete video, beginning to end so you guys can follow along on what to do in each stage 😊

@@Garden-Oasis I so look forward to it!! 🪷 🌼 💮

My pleasure! I hope is helpful to you 😊

You’re right as far as plants go, everything is getting so expensive that buying just five items regular price usually gets me over the $100 mark. That wasn’t the case not too long ago but we adapt (bob and weave, so to speak 😄) I’ve been buying mostly clearance plants for years now. Only with the odd, hard to find plant, do I splurge. And even then, I make sure to propagate it so I’ll have backups if anything ever happens to the original. $12?? Whaaatt 😳 are they dipped in gold? I don’t know where you live but that’s insane. We buy free range, humanly produced eggs for about $5-$6 (it goes up and down). That’s half what you pay.. wow, I’m shocked. Maybe you need to move lol 😅

congress is not responsible for our own self reliance.

Thank you! 😊 I’m working on a softwood cuttings video and will upload in a few weeks when softwood cuttings season arrives. It’s almost upon us 😊👍 You could try to take them now, while they’re flowering, but the results will be about 50% success. Personally, I don’t like cutting off the flowers to propagate it when you could have your cake and eat it too, so to speak (enjoy the flowers AND be swimming in phlox by Fall lol) 😄

I’m going an experiment right now with cuttings that had already bloomed because that was one of the questions people asked and I didn’t know the answer. Because we wait for these flowers all year, I’d never cut them off to propagate it. So I tried it, just to know the answer and half of them are not doing so well, half look like they’re working. I get much better results with hardwood and softwood that hasn’t bloomed. So the answer is yes, you could do it but the results will be that half will die and only about half will live. If you wait a couple more weeks, it will push new growth that you can take cuttings from and those will have much better results. I’m working on a softwood cutting video and will be uploading when the time for softwood cuttings comes. So you could plant it and let it grow till then or give it a shot. It’s all up to you 😊

Thank you for such a detailed reply. It's hard but I will wait 😄

@@nonob55 lol I’m super passionate about gardening 😄 I could go on and on lol

It always pushes new growth after it blooms so you could either fertilize it so it pushes a good amount of new growth to cover the older growth underneath OR you could cut it back a bit and then fertilize it and let it flush out. Either way, it will need fertilizer and you’ll need to keep it watered. If the roots are always dry, it will grow less green growth to balance out the lack of water. Hope that made sense 😊 good luck 👍

Thank you! 😊 Plant it now. They’re being sold seasonally and now is the time they are in the garden centers. You don’t have to worry about a time to plant with this particular plant because it’s very tough. It takes the cold all the way down to zone 3 which is upper Canada and it can take the heat all the way to zone 9 which is Florida. So you don’t have to worry about anything, just plant it where you think you will enjoy it most and make sure it gets either full sun or some sun during the day. The sun helps it gather energy to grow faster and make more flowers next spring. If you are getting cuttings from a neighbor, follow the directions in the video and keep the cuttings in the shade till fall, then plant it in a full sun or part shade spot. Good luck! 👍

I’m working on some right now 😊

My pleasure! Cheers!😊

They don’t last for very long naturally but you could try keeping them watered. I’d imagine it’s a huge strain to keep those flowers hydrated so when faced with a choice all plant sacrifice the flowers first.

It can be used to under plant a small tree where it’ll get partial sun and that works fine. But I’m not sure about a maple tree. They get pretty big so I’m thinking the phlox won’t get enough sunlight. I think a different plant for a full shade spot might be better, but you could give it a shot. Personally, I’d plant the phlox you have in full sun and propagate it. Then you could experiment with the plants you make and if they die or don’t do well in the spot you put them, you’ll always still have the mother plant to make more from and try again in a different spot 😊👍

Glad you found it useful! Cheers! 😊

I have a video on clearance hydrangeas but that works for all plants if you want to give the roots a good drink. And you’re very welcome! The willow in this video was actually bought off the clearance rack too 😄 twins!

Thank you! 😊…No, I’ve never seen white mature canna seeds. They are white in the green pods, when the pods first form. Then the seeds start to mature, along with the pods. The pods go from green to brown as the seeds mature to black inside them… though it’s possible I don’t know everything and there actually are white mature seeds somehow, but I’ve never seen them. Where did you get the white seeds?

@Garden-Oasis from a Lilly that had just dropped its bloom. I think if I had waited the seed pod would have turned brown/black. I've got it 2 sitting in water. Well see. Thank you for responding. A second question, do yu know where I can get presidential canna lilies? They are hard to find

@@sandrabriggs8131 yes if you’d have waited about 2-3 weeks, they’d have matured. You’ll get more chances to collect them, I’m sure 😊. A quick google search showed me 3 sellers that were the first results. Hollandbulbfarms.com, Eden brothers, and Dutchbulbs.com all have them in stock. Holland bulbs is actually having a sale on them as we speak. 😊 good luck 👍

@@Garden-Oasis Thank you again!!

I love those moments when you find a good deal. Gives me such a thrill buying something others think is dead (so it’s priced next to nothing) and knowing I could easily bring it back. Makes me feel like I know a secret trick or something..but it’s just water lol. All the poor things need is water 😄
