MASSIVE Callus on This Rose Plant Air Layer | Could it be the Rooting Hormone?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- So this one didn't turn out like I wanted it to but I got some massive callus on this rose plant air layer. Pretty interesting stuff if you ask me. The only thing I'm wondering is if it was caused by the rooting hormone.

Growing tips/buds produce some auxin [IAA], so unlike cuttings you really don't need too much external auxin [IBA or NAA] on an air layers; with the possible exception of those set during the dormant season as there are no growing tips.
The IAA tends to inhibit the growth of lower buds as it moves to the roots which is why removing the tip allows side buds to grow. Cytokinins are produced by root tips and move up stimulating bud growth/counteracting the IAA inhibition.
In this way the plant can self regulate to increase canopy growth when roots are healthy, or stimulate root growth when the tops are healthy and undamaged; depending on the auxin:cytokinin balance. (An intermediate balance with the right total concentration promotes callus tissues in vitro, but that is a matter of more concern to micopropagation in a lab.)
Thanks for the science.
Hi Mike, I have done quite a bit of layering and have had mixed success, I never use hormone on roses, roses produce their own hormone and typically do well without commercial hormone added, and (like you) I score the bark, but don't girdle the plant by removing it all. Anyhow great video and I like watching your ideas, keep it up! All the best and Good propagation Wayne
Thanks, Wayne, I appreciate your support!
For as long as I learned something, and Henry sure helped in my learning process, still it’s a good day for me. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear it and you're welcome!
Awesome job and I love the T-shirt! Thanks for the shout out! I plan on making a bigger pod this winter and hopefully the mold will be ready by spring!
Awesome, Ben! I really do love these things and have plans to go into next spring by starting tons of air layers on different plants early on so I can get a lot of roots. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the extra pods!
Looks like an AWSOME product
i have been playing with my plants and some plants in the woods.. found a cool horse chestnut tree growing out in the woods that i am trying to air layer off, but it has not gotten roots yet... going to insolate it over the winter and check back with it in spring. my rodey has about 8-9 low branches that i have ground layering some are rooted in some are newly grounded this year. i also have 3 crimson dwarf azalea cuttings in my house in glasses of water one is well on its way, almost 2 inch roots the other 2 are a bit behind still alive but not much root.. I have a lot of different maple seeds that i am going to refrigerate over the winter (wet) of course... from small leaved uprights to big leaved ( october glory) giant red maple seeds also picked up some full moon and other great maple seeds. I put some of all kinds in my little green house in soil as some what of a controlled test...and last i have about 1000 Korean fur seeds to try to grow, not sure how but trying a few tricks.. fire, scrapping and refrigeration wish me luck....
Good luck, Tony. Sounds like you've got a lot of interesting projects going on around there!
look forward to your next Root Pod, Rose experiment.
I still have hopes for my Fire & Ice rose ,
I just may jump in the deep end next year and go for it! 🤪
Thanks Skipper
That's the way to do it. Just go for it!
Those root pods are REALLY cool! I think I'll try this with blueberry bushes.
They are fantastic and I'm definitely sold on them!
I'm so excited to try this for the next growing season.
Me too Jane! I always get excited this time of year cause I know we’re spending our way to spring.
Mike, one of these days I expect to see your “How to Multiply Your Plants” book. ❤️
It's all in video format right here, LOL. That would be cool though.
Blueberries are one of the few things I miss about Pennsylvania swamps. We would filled two 3 gallon buckets each in no time, then go swimming and fishing. The old bear would tip-toe in to help himself, but they were his berries, no? Down here at home, no matter what we get, wear gloves and use tongs! :) The 'pears will survive, but the pigs may not. Got much of the garden caged and am getting a ton of tomatoes on, at last. No kumquats because the quail got mad and ate them all, then got your friends, the javelinas to ravage the thornless prickly pears. Haw', nieto! Keep up the good work!
Didn't know you were from Pennsylvania
@@MikeKincaid79 I was stuck there for years before escaping to come home to Arizona! Even people born there tend to get a little upset at that accusation, hoss! But, life is like that. I'm home! People used to laugh at me for always talking Arizona. I told them I'd rather die in Arizona than live anywhere else. Hasta, now quit busting my stone, you have to prep for winter! niio, walk in God's beauty.
Thanks, I have always wanted to know how to do that technique. It was successful!
I'll do it again next summer in the hopes of perfecting it and getting much more root growth.
I want to see you air layer one of your raspberry canes, perhaps blueberry.
That's a great idea! The next video I finish editing will probably be the one about blueberry cuttings in sand that I started this past summer.
Hi! It's me again, promise I'll keep it short lol. I'm doing a different experiment with a roxe cutting and if its successful I'll let you know. I tried something a little different than what you did with the fungicide spray. Curious to see how long before I see any roots??? Time will tell I guess. Catch you later, take care Rusty
Cool! Can't wait to hear the results.
I didn't used any hormone still huge callus is formed around my plant though it rooted well. I don't know what to do but I have planted it. Hope to get good results.
Some plants grow more callus and I'm not sure why. Fingers crossed that your plant finishes rooting and grows well.
Mike say thanks to Henry for taking part in every video,Mike I like this rooting pod & soon I am going to buy them, thanks for your supper videos.
Perfect! Great job as usual.
Thanks, Farm Mom!
I bought roses flowers with different colors from Walmart. I cut stem and put in the water plastic bottle and sealed them. Some media are peat moss. Some with quality stuff. I did use root powder. I found one of top stem become black. I just cut them away. Will see if have roots around this Christmas. Thanks for your videos.
Good luck with them
I have a lot of success with hardwood rose cuttings taken in the fall or autumn here in england and planted straight in the ground I add sand at the bottom of the hole I don't use rooting hormone with hardwood cuttings.
Sounds like you've got a good system down.
Finally I am the first to like your video Mike ☺️
YES!!!!!!
My idea was a round pod about the size of a Christmas ball filled with sphagnum moss. I never found something that I could make "my idea" with. So I'm guessing that callus is bad???
Not sure if it's good or bad but it's not necessarily what we were looking for. On the other hand, it is still alive and well in the window sill of my kitchen. We'll see what happens.
i had the same phenomenon so many times with my japanese maple air layerings because of hormone it's unbearable... now i'm trying to dilute liquid hormone with water... wait n see... by the way i'm waiting for your palmatum grafts update :) greetings from Belgium :)
Did you see the update I did on them in the spring? I plan to show the one that made it again soon. It's doing really well and the graft union is beautiful!
Hi Remco, what I successfully use is PK fertilizer instead of hormone, it helps develop roots faster, similar to the hormone but without forming a lot of callising.
@@MikeKincaid79 hello Mike, of course i did but you created an addiction to me, it's fall outside so i asked myself mmmh it's time for a fall japanese maple update from Mike! i did some graft this year on my own rootstocks following your channel and it's promising :D
@zeelands Roem thanks for sharing your tips :)
Hi Mike great callus on the rose cutting amazing, l have a new video how i make my compost greetings from Serbia-Europe !
Cool, thanks
nice Callus you got their mike hahaha ,i would like to see your take on mango from seed very soon, thanks for the great video like always, but hay remember mango from seed isn't easy but i think you could beat this challenge !!!!!! i have faith in you!!!!!!goodbye .
Sounds like a great challenge! I'll have to read up on it.
Probably the hormone. I saw another video where a guy did an experiment propagating pothos with and without the hormone. The roots that grew from the hormone were more numerous and thicker than the water ones, but over time the water roots proved healthier. Once planted, the plain water ones continued to be healthier.
I'm going to avoid root hormone as much as possible now based on these two videos.
Glad you're learning something, Bill. It's good to compare all these videos and keep expanding our knowledge. I don't mean to throw a wrench in the works but I did a video experiment a few months ago with grapes and I think you'll be shocked at the outcome. In that scenario, the hormone worked better.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks I will look at that. I just happened to be getting interested in trying out some easy grapes.
Couple days ago I wanted to ask you about air layering roses but something distracted me and I forgot to do it. Can you imagine what kind of facial expression I had when I saw your new video about THAT? Mike I don't know if you have some telepathic power or you're just really good at spying viewers but that's a little bit creepy. Haha... Anyways thank you for a very informative video.
LOL, I'm like Google, I know what you're going to type into the bar next, hahaha!
Hey Mike! Those root pods are amazing! 😲🙃🙂 I was wondering if a little cinnamon powder would be just fine to sterilize the wound instead of the rooting hormone... 🤔
That might work out better in the long run.
Would have been nice to see this experiment planted to see what it grows like next spring
Done! We'll see what happens.
Hellow Mike. Plant this rose stright into the ground pleas ! And show the results next spring. Piter
Maybe a pot indoors
Mike, I was thinking the same thing, just go for it (like you tell us) and plant that weird bunch of calluses/rootball directly into the ground! Pretty please, then like Piter said, show us the results in the spring! Now, that's what I would call an experiment! ~Margie
Smashing video Mike, you're always very honest, not knowing if it was a success or not, I would have smacked that cutting in somewhere just to see what happens!
I've done a lot of cutting back of shrubs in my garden here in Epsom 🇬🇧 this week and have made loads of cuttings using your method u showed last week, I'll put them in my plastic greenhouse and they can do or die 😅
If any survive gonna donate to my local cat rescue to sell for funds, so 🤞 I never waste plants, always a joy to give to people. Take care ❤
Love your upbeat attitude about life, Lee! Keep it up!
Great job Lee Castle !! I love to propagate myself. I donate to a little nursery that helps out the mentally challenged. All my extra Spider plants, Sedum, Angel Trumpets, Firespike, and a Red colored Hibiscus go there. I just love taking a car load to them.
Very fun and informative video. Thanks for sharing the video.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mark!
You are doing great work brother 🖒
Thanks ✌️
I got that one ///but i did not put hormone in it
They don't sell the pods alone, only in kits, but I don't want the extra stuff as I have plenty of fillings and rooting hormone. I just want bulk pods with some extra foam bits in a shipping box.
(I also think they could have cut their startup injection mold tooling costs by changing/removing the molded text, all those crannies need hand polishing. Unfortunately kickstarter doesn't allow feedback until after committing to investment, which seems totally backward to me. Otherwise I would have invested in the new jumbo pods.)
You probably saw by now that they didn't make the funding goal so it's all out the window anyway for now. Bummer, I was hoping it would work out for the owner and he'd be able to keep going. Oh well, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
@@MikeKincaid79 Always another thing in the pipeline. Maybe he can revise some things and try again in 6 months.
Maybe the callus is caused by temperature being too low. The root side was probably in the sun where the other side was shaded. Try potting it and put on bottom heat.
Already done, lol
Yeah, I thought foil, too. Viva Arizona, a land to hot for the devil :)
I'm waiting for the rooting pods and ordered 10 more. Air layering is my final stab at rooting cuttings. Man, but I used to just stick them in dirt and they rooted.
Next time, call Henry to come take care of the earwigs! And, never get angry with the rooting section. Henry it shouting to the world Mike's best.
Save the rose! viva la rosa! hasta, nieto!
You've got a different name!
@@MikeKincaid79 I got those rooting pods and tried one on the fig. have to do two more ASAP. Then break out the Christmas lights! It's fall and the poor palm trees are shivering in the cold! Haw', nieto!
Sorry I'm behind Mike on your videos..I had something very similar around a couple tomato plants I had in a raised bed that I put bought bulk compost. The bed was 3/4 compost. With it I wondered if the manure wasnt as decomposed as they should be plus I seen signs of osb board in it.
Don't earwigs eat roots especially when they're halfway of the stem? I wonder if that is disease?
Sorry for sounding so negative but weird! I don't think it's a good thing all those bumps I think it's a disease under the callus
You don't sound negative at all and yes, it's pretty weird. It's definitely not a disease, it's callus. I'm just not sure why so much callus formed on this air layer.
@@MikeKincaid79 anytime I had seen something like this on a plant it was some sort of nematode that caused it. And I'm not going to pretend to know names in Latin. All of the fancy stuff but I've got a knack for gardening that I got from my great grandma and passed down and I don't even have to know the names of things I can just kind of tell what kind of soil they want that kind of thing. I guess a natural? I'm going to be moving way up high on a mountain so I'm going to learn new things about plants I guess. Pretty woodsy though and I'm in a state that I didn't think had Poison Ivy's Oaks but we have one of them and I guess it really doesn't matter which one it does the same thing right! It turned the most gorgeous red on one leave the big one. The mountains already getting snow I think so we're going to have to move to the place after the thaw but I'm excited. There were so many thistles though they were at least 15 feet high and they were so matted together that you couldn't get through them you had to go around them and they're right where I want to Garden I wanted to bring goats and so bad. But it wasn't our property yet. It's a rare when I want to go in a place and scrub it with a brush and mops and all that LOL. 20 acres of oh my God! Including a hill that I'm going to try to make into a stair Garden which fruit trees towards the bottom so that I can pick them from the top easy sitting on one of the ledges. It's going to depend on how steep it is I don't want to take out too many trees I didn't come there to clear the land. There is gorgeous little plants that people had thrown around and some plants that I really wish I could identify but can't find anywhere. Anyway anything I've seen that looks like that had a nematode when I took it into some place and it was some sort of root knot. I don't know enough about this to speak on it. I just know that I had some roses that somebody gave me and they were getting roots on them and then it came out and they were gone I should have probably put them in dirt sooner but they were just tiny little roots. I put them in with pieces of willow tree and they rooted like crazy and it seemed to help. I've been awake all night thinking about my house I'm a little bit wired. Thank you! I have four floors in this big mass of house that has no electricity it's got to have solar panels luckily I've got wood stoves cuz he took the cook stove and lest and left three giant vehicles on a place that is literally like a goat Trail it's very hard to turn Corners you can't have trailers or anyting they don't make the corners. Once you get up there it's great getting up there's different. It definitely makes it pucker a little bit my jaw hurt and my neck and my back and everything by the time we got up there but then I relaxed. And then my toe went right in the big pile of bear stuff that was pretty new and he'd been eating all the apples on the most beautiful apple tree not a hint of disease and it's been alone for quite a while I guess there's nothing up there to disease it but I did find a cottonwood bent over that had that rust on it lumps of rust. So hopefully the snow will keep it where it's at and then when I get up there I'm going to have to cut it and burn it right away! And hope that that gets any of that out of there I don't want that on my fruit tree it was a most beautiful apples in the most beautiful leaves I've seen in years and it's an older tree that farm was a couple hundred years old and they built the house in the 70s out of the wood from the farm or stories of oh my God! and we found the 4th floor through a secret door which is really exciting that used to grow plants under lights but they weren't roses LOL not my thing so I'll just be starting my garden plants down there or maybe not at all there I don't know where I'll be starting on but I don't have a green house yet so probably there my garden will be tremendously big for me at my age and my health. But I bet to my house gets about 80% better when I get there and it's mine and there's nobody to bug me. Thank you for letting me vent. UA-cam is the only place I get to do this I have no family left so this is it. I need some polytunnels like you have but I'm really afraid of what the Bears are going to do to them and I want to plant berries everywhere but what are the Bears going to do to them. There's no law up there so I can build anything I want and I can put up electrical thing so I don't want to hurt them but if there's little zappers everywhere they'll get the idea it's not a fun place to play Maybe? sorry this was really long over lumps on a rose cutting
I'm just curious if the plant would have done better if you sprayed fertilizer on the leaves? Maybe it would help it soak up the nutrition? 🤷♀️
That's a cool thought, never tried it. I try to stay away from fertilizer until they've rooted but I'm always up for an experiment.
I love you videos. Those Root Pods are cool.
I love them!
Have you used the root pods for your rhododendrons yet?
Not yet but I plan to. I may head out soon and get started. That'll be a video that takes many months to finish, lol.
Always love your videos. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
So are the undifferentive cells pretty much stem cells?
Yep, that's it.
@@MikeKincaid79 I smart. Lol
Mike can you please explain what callus is and why it forms on the plant? I have never heard about it before watching your videos.
It's just a large clump of tissue where there was a wound on the plant. It's a disorganized clumping of cells as the plant tries to heal itself and eventually for roots.
@@MikeKincaid79 it has been about 2 months since I air layered a rose. It still is connected to the parent plant. It so far has mostly lots of callus and only one root. Do you think it is possible it can grow more roots?
I’m going out to buy 100 of these :)
Have fun air layering!
After 45 days my airlayer of Rollinia fruit tree grew a big callous and no roots. What can I do? Should I put soil back around callous and wrap up or???
Leave it until the following summer. Roots may take off in the spring.
Will the plant produce the same beautiful flower as on the mother plant.
Yes its essentially The same plant. It's a clone.
Yes! The exact same flower down to the individual cell! Just like Zak said, it's an identical genetic clone. Now, if only I could figure out how to propagate one of my fingers and send that sucker to work every day so I can stay home and grow more plants, LOL.
It would be great if the pods were transparent instead of black.
They're transparent enough to see roots through them.
no views, three likes. makes sense lol
Hahahaha, the weird workings of the internet.
Hi Mike!
This sounds super good if it is available to buy in Sweden? Have seen that they do something similar with ex. apple trees.
Thanks for all videos!
💖 From❣🇸🇪
You're welcome, Sussie!
Hey Mike, Henry is not as talkative as Johnny though! Hey you would develop wired things if someone would give you hormones.....😨
Great video! Hugs!🤗💚
LOL, true, haha.
I had an attempt at air layering one of my roses but the branch fell over in the wind. How do I now make a cutting out of it.
I've got lots of videos about rose cuttings. Here's the latest one I did: ua-cam.com/video/y_1fUrMhCpg/v-deo.html
Mike, I love learning from you, but I have a question. So many roses are grafted how do you know what you are going to get?
You will get an exact clone of the parent plant when you take cuttings. Grafting roses just puts that specific rose genetic on top of a stronger, more disease resistant root stock. Many will grow well on their own roots though.
Hi Mike, I have taken a cutting from a rose branch whilst there has been A lot of leaf growth but I’m yet to see any roots or callus on the section I’d taken.
It’s now been about 3 weeks.
What would you recommend.
Regards Tony.
It needs more time. The air layer in this video took months and my rose cuttings average about 6 weeks.
When is the best time to do this on a rose? Nebraska zone 5b. Thanks!!
Right after the bloom fades, take the current seasons new growth when it is semi-firm.
Did you try this with hydrangeas? It seems like a safer bet if that would work vs the cuttings...being I could set it and forget it. If you haven't would you do the same thing to the stem?
I plan to do hydrangea next spring. They root much easier early on in the spring/summer. For hydrangea, I will probably just score the stem and then put the pods on. That video will have to wait until next year though....................................................Unless............................I bring one of the hydrangea indoor and grow it through the winter. Then I could air layer it indoors. Now you've got me thinking, LOL.
@@MikeKincaid79 looking forward to it👍
My rose cuttings died also, I tried air layering also with no luck
I think I would have had better results starting earlier, not removing all the bark, and not using hormone. I've got 1 thing on my mind.................................next spring!
Did you ever do an update this airlayer? Did it survive?
It's been a few years but if I remember right, it didn't make it.
@@MikeKincaid79 any idea what causes the calluses to form? Is it the amount of rooting hormone used?
Mike does air layering work during winter? Can I do it now and let it sit over winter into spring? Rhododendron, butterfly bush
Yes, it does but I don't have as much experience with winter air layering so I'm learning with you. I'm getting a late start but am considering doing some rhododendrons right now. I have a feeling that nothing would really happen until next spring though. The downside to air layering in the fall is that the cold weather won't allow for much root growth, if any at all. My thought is that it would very slowly build callus through the winter and prepare itself to burst out with root growth come spring but that's just a theory.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks Mike. I figured as much too about the slower growth but was more concerned with just killing the branch overall. I’ll work on my end here in the northeast and we’ll circle back next spring. Right now I’m working on heeling in all my extras. And since Covid kept me home and gardening so much I have PLENTY of extras. Haha. Later
Bro,what's the best month for air layering of Rose in India?
Early on in the growing season.
will it root and survive if i do this way in grafted roses
Yes. I've got several videos about rooting grafted roses that survive just fine on their own roots.
how much older video...i want to see....
by the way bro if i do air layering on my grafted Teasing Georgia,let us assume it got root..then how long will it survive in comparision to a grafted one
Careful touching the rooting hormone Mike, you may sprout roots.
A bigger pod would be handy with larger air layers. Another cool feature would be some way to check the progress without opening the pod.
Perhaps a window somehow? Or a clear pod that has a black sleeve?
Root Pod 2.0
These pods are somewhat transparent so you can see the roots with your eyes, the camera has a tough time picking them up. I've been in contact with Ben, the creator of these, and he said he is definitely going to make a bigger one but it will take some time cause he's a one man show in his barn with 1 mold. He'll have to fork over the money to create a bigger mold. Looking forward to it.
Do you need to water the roots pods everyday?
No, just start out with moist peat and wrap the whole pod in aluminum foil. Check it once a month
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you so much
Hey Mike, as you said it, it's surely the rooting hormone you put on the stem, that caused all that callus.when I was watching you putting the hormone ,I said no Mike ,don't do that.
Haha, wish I could have heard you.
Too bad we can't get those root pods in Europe/the Netherlands, would like to give them a try. I also can't find any other brand or similar product that sells them over here. I don't even know how to call them in my native language ... is it a relative new principal/method?
Can get similar products in UK so would assume you can get in Netherlands, look for air layer pods, none with the rubber seal these have tho, which to be honest make this products
Hi Bart, you can find root hormone in Hornbach or Coopelmans.
@@WhatsUrEp I did some googling and could not find any similar product, but I will give it another try.
@@diavalus I am searching for the root pods shown in the video, not root hormone.
@@bartb217 sorry, my bad.
instead of root hormones, honey gives 100% result
Nice job and what happened to Johnny
Johnny has been gone for a few years. I made a video about it years ago. He was attacking my wife and kids when they went into the coop and he had to go. We've since replaced him with the most beautiful rooster that is friendly. His name is Henry and you can hear him crowing in some of my videos.
@@MikeKincaid79 oh ok I thought you ate him
Sir you are osam
Si what exactly is a callus????? Because I got some and I thought my cutting where dying hahaha
A build up of nutrient dense tissue, a precursor to roots.
👍👍👍👍😊🙂
I think there is something wrong with this video where is the Cutting from outside the box it’s not like the inside the box should be something from outside 11:50 It’s look like you’re holding something in your fingers it’s like you doing magic or something I don’t know I don’t like the way You tried to show in for us I like your videos before but this one I feel something wrong
You think I'm tricking you with rose propagation? LOL Geez, tough crowd.
Lol you got dirt on your fore head !
Haha, finally something about me is dirty. I've been hearing all about my clean hands for several years now, LOL.
Man , you talk too much . I like what you teach, but it would be so much easier if you went straight to the point each time.
Thanks for your opinion, Evelyn. I value constructive criticism. The problem is that you're in the minority on this channel. Most people love the talk.
nice video.your the best dad!!!!!!
You're such a sweet girl!
