Thank you 😊 I'm glad it's appreciated

For my cuttings I use a seed raising and cutting mix. For the plant itself I use Platinum potting mix, it has a high peat content.

Pruning is best done late in winter, while the tree is still in its "dormant" phase. A light prune in summer can help extend your harvest as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Basil can be tricky sometimes, especially with the timing. Have you thought about pinching off those flower buds to encourage more leaf growth?

@@TheRandomPlant Yes I’m currently doing that and have to check daily.

It is a tricky one that I haven't completely solved yet. However, I am experimenting with moving a batch into a cooler spot with less direct sun... given just how strong the Australian sun is, I think that's what makes controlling the flowering so difficult

@@TheRandomPlant That’s a good idea thank you. I recall a few years ago growing mine in partial shade with just some morning sun because it was getting burnt in full sun. Perth sun is way too intense during summer. It still flowered but it was during autumn which is normal.

No worries. Fingers crossed 🤞

Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s great to hear that you found the tips helpful. Happy gardening!

I'm so glad you found the channel! Welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy the content!

Hey, thanks for subscribing! I’ll definitely try to look at the lens more (surprising how hard it can be). And that’s awesome about the blueberries - can’t wait to hear how they turn out with the azalea mix and coffee!

I really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know the tutorial resonated with you.

That's such a shame 😢. What do you have them planted in, and where do you keep them?

@@TheRandomPlant They are all planted in the ground, dey hv about 20 tertiary roots which can go 6, 7 feet in all directions, out competing other plants . I would suggest go for pineapples, a more worthwhile & fair reward endeavour.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you like them 😊

Thank you. I'm glad you found it informative, I hope you enjoy the basil you grow.

I really appreciate your comment! It's wonderful to hear from fellow gardeners. Sending warm greetings back to you in Simcoe, Ontario!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you're finding the tutorials helpful. Happy gardening!

Thanks a ton! Glad you liked it! Now go make that basil thrive! 💚🌿

Yes!! Today I found in my fridge a celery stock and I cut the base and planted it! I can't wait to see it grow!🤗 Have a great day. Thank you again for all your fantastic tutorials! 👍

I haven't done one on celery yet. However, I have had some success with it. Good luck 👍

Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Your words are truly inspiring, and it's wonderful to see how you're embracing the challenges of gardening. I’m thrilled that my video could restore your hope-keep up the awesome work!

@@TheRandomPlant aww, thank you for your response, so appreciated. yt has become a 3rd hand, so to speak, and I come across the most beauty-full peoples, hehe, as yourself. Very nice to meet you. 🥰

Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate your support and love connecting with wonderful viewers like you.

Thank you. Hopefully, the newly planted seedlings do as well 😊

You're welcome. I'm glad you found it informative and useful. Let me know how you go with it ☺

Thank you, I am glad you found my video helpful and informative. And, welcome to the wonderful world of plants.

Yes, I think unkillable is like unsinkable. It just takes the right situation.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it 😊

Yates Clonex red, so far. But apparently, both honey and cinnamon are good... though I suspect honey would be the easier out of those because it sticks

I'll definitely give them a try, I am particularly interested in everbearing.

I'm on the Sunshine Coast, sub tropical climate. So my mulberries tend to get rather confused about the season. Winter time in Melbourne, your mulberry really should be losing leaves. However, for peace of mind, gently scratch the trunk, I'd use your fingernails (easier to control). You want just enough to see the green under the top layer. If it's there, it's alive. Usually, flexibility is also a good sign. Another thing to consider is the age of the plant and how recently it has been transplanted. In my experience, most times that I re-pot, it will lose most of the leaves, either dropping them or dying off. Other than that, it should be in the "dormant" phase now, the "correct" time for pruning. Expect some die back, is normal.

@@TheRandomPlant Thanks for that. I wish I lived up there, the climate allows you to grow way more stuff. It's quite new so I'll let it be and see what happens when It warms up. Cheers!

I haven't had any experience with that particular variety. However, in my experience, including what I've read, they have very similar traits. All Mulberries have invasive roots, so be cautious where you plant. They are forgiving and will bounce back from mishandling. But they love a nutritious soil and lots of sun.

I am in Australia, so I unfortunately have little knowledge of where you can get them in your area. However, I would recommend trying a few nurseries. Otherwise, a lot of plants can also be purchased online these days. Good luck.

Indeed it is. It looks better now than it ever did before too I think.

I had some jacaranda seeds once. Unfortunately they didn’t sprout. I should get some more, it looks like a cool plant.

@@willbreeze397 it is a very nice plant, definitely worth trying again.

Glad you liked it, and I'm very glad you found it helpful.

Thank you. Plants are quite an addiction aren't they.

I'm glad you liked my video. My ideal size pot for size and growth would be around 500mm diameter, this gives plenty of room for the roots while still being manageable as a pot. Otherwise depending on the space available a pot measuring 410mm will allow for a good amount of growth and size. I usually keep small or very young ones in a minimum of a 180mm pot, if they need some nurturing or getting ready to sell. I hope this helps. and enjoy your new plant.

Thanks very much, that's indeed very helpful! As you recommend, I'll start off with a 180-200mm pot and target to repot in a 450mm container after a few months.

@@adityaksengupta I'm glad to help. Also, thank you very much for your interaction, it means a lot to me that my new channel is being viewed and people are finding it interesting and helpful. here's a couple of things to keep in mind, you're probably already aware of, but it never hurts to be sure, and from your first question it seems like you do excessive research like I do as well, so maybe this will have something useful for you. The climate you're in will impact how quickly it grows (warmer usually being faster). Also like most plants, the pot size will "restrict" the plant size... so if you find it looks healthy and everything else says it should be growing, it's a good bet it wants a bigger pot. I'm guessing you already have a good idea as to what potting mix you will use, but just in case.... My experience say's they will grow in almost anything, but so far, I have found a rich high peat moss mix to make it most happy. There may be better options I haven't discovered yet of course. I would love to hear how you go with yours, please update me, and feel free to ask me any questions, I will do my best to be helpful.

Thanks again for these tips. Peat moss isn't very common in India, but we probably have cocopeat (coconut coir powder) as a substitute-- that I do use, typically around 30% in my potting mixes. My plants are expected today, and I intend to initially pot them a week or two later into the 200mm pots like you recommended. It is pretty hot here now (upto 36°C or so) and expected to continue until mid June when the monsoons arrive. Let's see how they do. All the best with your channel!

I'm glad you liked it. In a perfect world I would love to plant them so I could have enough mulberries to relive the happy childhood memories of mulberry pie and jam etc. However, at this stage I hope to be able to sell enough to continue funding my plant obsession. I may also start experimenting with shaping and bonsai, as it is a very resilient and forgiving plant.

Thank you 😊. I will definitely keep that in mind, fortunately I haven't had any snail or slugs so far 🤞. I haven't tried any stone fruit yet, but I'm keen to give it a try at some stage. Having a go at date palms at the moment, they are a very slow one, once I get some results I'll be making a video on them too 😊.

dates are very easy and highly successful, and as you said....slow my latest date is 2 years old, yet still only 2 leaves and 170mm total leaf length@@franciskilgannon

I finally have 3 that are showing signs of life :)

It's brilliant, and cuts down waste as well as reducing root shock.

Thank you :)
