    Definitely doing this tonight. I've done the burying in mulch trick which works great but this method makes it is so easy to transport and share readily. Get ready friends - I'm rooting EVERYTHING, lol

      Also you don’t damage the roots of the parent plant if you don’t have to dig anything up.

    Jim, I've always rooted cuttings in the ground next to the parent plant using a rock (or landscape staples) to hold the branch in place while it roots. Using a recycled nursery pot for propagating new plants will make moving them to the planting site so much more convenient. Thank you for the idea! ~Margie🦋💚🌞

    I’ve rooted a number of plants in the ground by putting a brick on a semi-woody limb (and waited for what seems like eons) but this way of using the pot makes so much more sense! Clearly a superior method. You don’t have to dig the plant up, risking damage to the roots, causing yourself extra work, etc. Once again, Jim, you have delivered some excellent, much appreciated advice. I love this; I will be trying this method on a weigela and a few other shrubs this week. 👍🏻💚

    I discovered this technique accidentally when a gardenia limb was touching the ground and the leaves were heavy enough to hold it to the ground and it rooted, I dug it up and potted it. It's going to be fun trying your technique with the pots.

    This IS pure genius, Jim, and great timing for me personally. I have been wanting to reproduce some salvia “black and bloom” that has done tremendously in my landscape this year, but which had been hard to find in my local nursery centers. I had tried rooting cuttings in water (lame, I know) but am getting only about 50% return and then wondering how/if they will transfer to potted soil!?! Going out to try this now so I can plant more of this salvia to overwinter. THANK you!!

      I started propagating Emerald Green Arborvitae about 4 years ago just for fun. I now have about 10 extra trees about a foot tall and really starting to take off. I need to transplant them from pots and get them into the ground but its a great way to get more plants for free. Then id one dies you have a replacement ready.

    Amazing! A great way to propogate using the pots. I have done this in the past with azaleas, but I just buried some of a branch in the ground and covered with a brick. I forgot about them most of the time! I'm thinking of all the perennials I can afford to have now. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

    This is genius Jim!! I am so excited after watching this video. Last year was the first time I tried to propagate some of my plants. I have been gardening hardcore for about five years now, and this is the one area I struggle with. I have a hard time not loving my plants to death lol. Half my cuttings rooted last year only to die this spring from the stems staying to damp I believe. Thanks for always sharing your techniques. I appreciate your wealth of knowledge, which has helped me become a better Gardner.

  • @rajinichary655
    @rajinichary655 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks Jim, I have done this before in pots next to plant by bending the branch, but slitting the sides is an additional good idea, it makes it easier to bury the branch in the soil without braking it.
    Also If the branch is a little too high I place the pot on piles of brick to raise the pot up to the level of the branch.
    And if space permits , you can place 2 or 3 pots to make more plants.
    I appreciate your no nonsense gardening advise.
    Thanks

  • @suzetteccc
    @suzetteccc 2 роки тому +1

    Wow. This is great. I have had (by accident) things root next to the mother plant but I love the idea of actually doing it myself in pots. I know how easy hydrangeas are to propagate with cuttings, but this is way better. I will definitely do it with my Rockin Deep Purple Salvia, because they take so long to get to my local nurseries here. I keep my pelargoniums over winter, so I'll do the same with the salvias and have them much earlier!! Nice to have a use for all the nursery pots I have. Thanks for the tip.
