Thank you so much for this video 💝 It's October n the right time to propagate beautiful Camelias I think 🥰
This was really helpful. I hate watching instructional videos that don’t give you a clear view of what the “expert” is doing. Your video gave a simple explanation with a clear view of where all the important plant parts are and how to scrape, etc. You also gave multiple opportunities to see the technique we should use. Really well done. Thanks so much!
Glad you liked the video 😃 thanks for watching!
First time I’ve heard why the leaves on top of the cuttings are trimmed off. Thank you for being so informative.
Your welcome. Thank you for your comment.
Great vid. Only tip on the powder, make the hole before pushing in with the powder. If not, you’ll remove the powder while making the hole like in the video, less effective.
Good tip!
Nice and simple, I’ve been looking for this type of video without having to watch pointless hours
Thanks mate
I’m gonna do that now
Thanks👍 your welcome.
This is perfect! I was gifted camelia s stems and had no experience with them, so I was concerned. Thanks to your video, I have hope!
Your welcome 👍🏻
Thanks for showing everything in detail from start to finish.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you, im going to try this this morning here in hamilton, new zealand
That's great! Thanks for watching 🙂
Thanks for the advice Phil!
Your welcome
Thank you. Perfect quick and simple explanation.
Your welcome 👍🏻
Very good! Clearly shows all of the important steps.
Thank you so much, happy gardening x
Your welcome 👍🏻
Thank you, very helpful 😊 I can try this now.
Your welcome Alison🙂
wonderful infos with Camellias cuttings. This time Im gonna make sure my Camellias will stay and I started the cutting propagation of my roses and Japanese tricolours plants only mine were a little bit longer stems but one pot each so it was a lot of work for me. This time I'm gonna try ur idea. Thanks a lot
That's great 😃 thank you ☺️
Thanks Phill well explained...I will follow your instructions
Thanks Michel
I would love to see an update on these! Thank you
Yea that's a good point I will make a video about that soon. Thanks for your comment :)
Here is the update video: ua-cam.com/video/X0yLFFgzevY/v-deo.html
This was an excellent tutorial. Just what I needed.
Thanks Tracy 🙂
V good morning 🌞
@@bijisebastian4298 Good morning :)
Cheers Phill, going to try this with mine this summer, new sub! 🌱
Thanks Andrew!👍
I know it’s a year late but just another little tip with rooting powder, never dip the cutting into it put a small bit into the lid and dip it into that, just incase there is a virus on the plant material it won’t spread onto your other cuttings. Just dump what’s left in the lid don’t pop it back in. You can also get three types of hormone powder for the soft semi and hard cuttings other than that brilliant little informative video.
Thanks Robert & good Tips!
Take it a step further and don't even contaminate the lid of your rooting powder. I save and reuse the little plastic cups that coffee creamer comes in and put a little of the powder in it for use. What's leftover is dumped into an old Rx container and used on less valuable cuttings that could use an edge, but root easily.
Thank You I’m going to give this a try. 🙌🏻
You’re welcome 😊
you did not show watering the plants before and after
Really good instructions and helpful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Really it's very very hard to plant camellia from seeds @ it tooks months before the leaves sprout now i have an idea how to grow them out of it's stem upon watching this video thank you so much Sir phillip for the information keep it up Sir i'll wait for you're latest video0
Your welcome 👍😃
Thanks Phil, I'm just about to move from a house with a nice Camellia, and want to take cuttings with me.
No problem 👍
Sir
Good morning
I like all your videos
Very useful
Thankyou
Thanks
I would love to see an update!
Thanks for your sharing. In VietNam we have the best tea and similar..
That's great!
Very informative, I look forward to trying this! Have you tried growing roots without soil / in water?
Thanks Natalia for your comment. Actually I have not tried growing them in water although I think I might give it a go!
now i just need little brantch from store and i finaly will have my flower
Yes give it a try why not 🙂
Thanks for the education.. How are these cuttings doing now April 2022 ?
Thank you Phil. Very good presentation, clearly explained. Fingers crossed, I've planted a few today. First time into planting anything. I know it's not the season but I have given it a shot.
Great Thank you 👍🏻 good luck
Love your video Phill, straight forward no fuss, I'm moving house soon and want to take some cuttings of my Camellia, wrong time of the year, I know, but I'll give it a go anyway. Any tips, as it is out of season for taking cuttings? Thank you.
Thanks! Always worth giving a go. I would say to make sure you keep them moist. And remove some parts of each leaf to avoid water evaporation from the cutting.
@@PhillWyattProjects Fab, will do, thanks Phill.
Hi Phill, thank you for this useful video. We have a mature camellia in the garden that needs pruning urgently as it's pushing into the neighbour's fence. I would love to be able to salvage some cuttings, do you think they could survive if taken this time of year? (early March). Ta!
Hi Elena, I think it's worth a try. Keep the soil moist. Keep them in the shade. Be patient and they should eventually root.
hello dear new friend here
i like so much that camellia Flower's I have too
They are very nice flowers 😊
Hi Really Nice, Simple & Easy.
What potting medium have you used to raise the cuttings ?
Thanks, I just use free draining soil from the garden.
Hi Phil, great video. How long after this process would it take for them to grow into a plant like the 15cm high ones you see in the garden centres? I’m also in the UK and wondering what time of year is best to start and if they need protecting during winter. Any tips would help a lot!
It really depends although I would say they are quite slow growing from a cutting initially. I think the best time of year to take cuttings is the end of summer and I would keep them under cover during winter to keep the frost off.
I would like to see in a little more information like the time of the year since it’s semihardwood I guess it’s at the end of summer but how long does it take to root normally
Really enjoyed this video. I have few questions. Does it matter kind of soil, I've got miracle grow ? I'm in Florida can I put them outdoors in mostly shade? To keep moisture, do I cover them with plastic bag or 2 litter plastic cut cola bottle?
Thanks again 🌞
Soil isn't a big deal as long as it is kept moist. I would keep them out of direct sunlight. The cola bottle idea sounds good.
Thank you so much for the video. What is the best season to be taking cuttings? I have three acres and after months have decided to grow the 'Barbara Clark' variety here in NZ as a hedge surrounding the entire property. Reason being as we are in a rural / coastal variety with somewhat poor soil and that variety grows well here locally. I think I need to do about ~ 1,300 cuttings. Ugh! Anyway, cheers man.
Hi thanks for your comment. I think sort of end of summer early autumn is best as you can use the new growth before it hardens off
@@PhillWyattProjects That's exactly the season we are in here now. Perfect. Thank you!
@@benjifrater6077 No problem Benji
Thanks for the video! :) I just wish to make two inquiries: 1)I live in the suburbs of the San Francisco East Bay, which means it becomes warm at the end of March. When would be the best time to attempt this in this zone? 2)How can you tell that it is time to transplant the cuttings, once they've rooted? Thank you.
Hi Phil, as I am blind, could you tell me how long those cuttings are, and just how many leaves is best to leave on? How long will they take to root, and how will you know when to pot on? Many thanks as always.
Hi Keith, they are about 3-5" long. They take around 1-2 months to root. I like to leave a couple of clipped leaves on. I would probably leave them about 4 months before potting on.
Thanks again Phil, I have, over this summer, taken lots of cuttings from my Golden Shield Cupressus Macro Carpa. I wasn't sure what length to take them, so they vary in length between 3" - 7" but I don't know when or if they have sprouted roots, and I am afraid of pulling them in case I destroy one.
@@keithfoxton5836 when I can't wait anymore, I soak the pot and then drop the pot upside down so you can easily remove the seedlings then put them in some wet sand or water
Just curious, what compost did you use, in your mix,
I think you mean the cambium, under the bark where the vascular bundles are for moisture and nutrients uptake
Yes that's the one👍 Thanks
How do you store it until roots form? Im in NC USA zone 7.
Thank you i will be trying this 💜 is their a specific time when its best to do cuttings
Your welcome 🙂 I would say around late summer or the beginning of autumn
@@PhillWyattProjects thank you so much.. You tubers usually never reply .. This is off great help
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks I love Camellias -- would that be the same for other flowers -- if I want to root
Hi, can you plant cuttings in different time of the year? Do you cover with plastic bag to increase humidity and prevent from drying off?
Hi
I suppose you could cover them to prevent moisture loss although I prefer to leave them in a cool place out of direct light. Either will possibly work.
This was so helpful! Do you have to store them in a plastic bag after or can I keep them outside? I'm afraid if I keep them inside in a plastic bag, I will have issues with gnats.
I don't store mine in a plastic bag.
Do you cover the cuttings with a polythene bag
Great video, how long does it take for the Camelia cuttings to root? Thanks
Thanks! In my experience it takes a while. A number of months.
Thanks you. I want the camellias flowers to last longer. How can I do that?
Thank you for you video about camilia cuttings! It was very helpful. How much water do I give the cuttings? Approximately how long do they take to root?
Thanks Aaron! Just enough water to keep the soil moist. Rooting really varies and depends on lots of factors. Patients is key.
@@PhillWyattProjects Thank you Phill
@@aaronkenton8162 your welcome
This video has inspired me to try again. Over the years I’ve tried a few different camelias, at different times of the year - not one cutting has rooted, ever.
I’ve tried in the summer, early autumn and in the spring, when the new growth is at its strongest. Was it the wrong time?
I would try at the end of summer. Also, wait as long as the cutting stays green. It can take months for roots to form.
@@PhillWyattProjects I'm determined to persevere :)
Great video. How do I know when the cutting has rooted? Thanks
You just need to check them periodically by gently pulling them out every month or so. As soon as you see tiny roots forming I tend to transfer them into a pot of sand. This encourages the root growth as the roots can develop more easily.
@@PhillWyattProjects Hi Phill, silly question but what type of sand do you use?
@@neo4500 I use sharp sand because if has sharp bits in it which help to rough up the stems and encourage roots to develop in my opinion.
What kind of environment do they need at this stage? Can I put them outside for the winter or do they need to stay warm? We do have nights that get below or near freezing but otherwise mild winters. Thanks!
I would say you can keep them out but it would be better to keep them in a greenhouse.
Is it possoble put the cutting first in glass with water, to boost the rooting process, or doesn't it like it?
Have you grown the Coco Chanel favorite that is used in her products “Alba Plena” and if so, your opinion on it?
I have not heard of that variety. I will look out for it now you mention it.
How often do you water these cuttings
Where do you keep the pot after putting the cuttings in? Can you put it inside the house by the window,?
how long would you expect it to take before there are roots enough to transplant?
It really depends on the time of year a d the weather. Maybe 4 months during summer
How long does it take to root? How do you know if they have rooted without pulling them up and killing them? Thank you so much. :)
Hi, the time it takes varies quite a bit in weather and time of year. If you have waited a while you can wet the soil and gently remove the cuttings and push them into a pot of sand. This helps to rough up the surface and encourages root development
Hi Phil, this is my 8th batch of about 10 attempt. I just can’t seem to get any to root. Could I ask what is roughly your success rate? And how long should it take to know if it’s rooted. Thanks
It's a hard question. It really varies but they do usually take for me, several months to root. If the soil dries out they tend to loose the new roots that are forming or die altogether. Keep them out of direct sunlight with damp soil that is well draining. You also need a bit of luck too.
Same here...Mine most of the time rot after a few weeks. I am trying air layering this year, hopefully this will do for me.
How long does it take for roots to establish ? I have a lovely camellia and want to try . My cuttings last year didn’t work
To be honest it differs depending on time of year, weather etc. I find that they do take a while to root. Even if you don't see roots at first, as long as they stay green don't give up on them. Eventually they should root.
If they root - how fast does the cutting grow? Can there be flowers in their first season, or is that too optimistic? KInd regards from Ireland
Hi not in the first season as they need to built a root system to support the heavy flowers.
i followed your instruction and i did not make it successfully. The only difference was that I used different brand root booster. Some I even tried to wrap arond by grafting tape. With or without tape, it made no difference. The branches had dried out before root started to grow. For curiosity how long it takes to grow roots in your case. Would you please give me any suggestions that I can improve. Thanks.
Hi, how long was it before the branches dried out? They must be kept constantly moist and depending on the climate it can take even 6 months for growth.
Can you take cuttings from it anytime of year or is September best? I',m most impressed with the Camelia that I bought a couple of years ago, the flowers are beautiful.
Best time In my opinion is August/ September but you can still try now it's not impossible. Yes they do have lovely flowers
@@PhillWyattProjects Thank you.
Does this camellia grow in shade or full sun
how often should they be watered once potted ..do you plant them into moist soil?
Just make sure that the soil stats moist. Keep them in shade.
Does anyone know if I can grow these cuttings inside the house first?
Did u water them after u finished placing them in the pot?
Yes you can see how I water them at the end of the video
What is the best time to do this? My camelias are doing great just now in April and I see the new growth with 2 to 3 leaves on them. Will it be ok this time of the year?
Best time could be around August when the new growth has hardened.
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks, I had taken only 1 cutting recently to try, but will leave it until August to take a few more.
Hi great info. Thank you. Why did you plant the cuttings on the edge of the pot?
I usually do this because it give the cutting maximum room for developing their roots spacing them as far apart as possible
Is after summer September best time? I wish to try now in March but i guess it is to early?
To be honest I've not tried it this early in the year. Why not give it a go....
@@PhillWyattProjects I did yesterday two cutting, if they don't work i ll do after blooming they are just week or so before start blooming.
Can I take cuttings in July? I'm moving house but unable to take my camellia as it is too big.
Hi Louise
Yes I would say that late July is the beginning of the best time to take these cuttings so it should be fine.
Can this cutting be root into a piece of white potato?
Thank you for this video. I bought an expensive camelia from garden store and it died. I had watered it a few times in the time it died. It seemed to be fine cause there were lots of rainy days. When I planted it I threw in some chicken manuer from the chicken coup along with wood shavings. Then put the pot of dirt in with the plant in it and I put a spike of plant food down in the dirt about 5 inches from the plant. Don't know if that's what killed it. It had plenty of water and now I want to try to save what's left of the plant. Most of it died. It had so many buds on it too. Darn!
Camellias like an acidic soil, my guest it was the chicken manure
When growing a new cutting I would advise not to give it any kind of fertiliser. It doesn't yet have an extensive enough root system or enough size to deal with large amounts of nutrients. Wait until it is an active stage of growth.
@@PhillWyattProjects It wasn't a new cutting though. It was a full plant from a nursery that was about 2 ft tall full of buds. But thank you for this information.
Can this be done while they are still in bloom? Is it better to wait? What is the best time of year? Thanks, this was a great video.
I would recommend waiting until the autumn. Thanks :)
You shouldn’t dip the cutting into hormone bottle as it could introduce unwanted disease into your hormone. 😊. Ty for the video. Didn’t know if camellia was done the same.
Good point. I didn't think about that at the time. Cheers!
What time of the year is best to take cutting
Probably August before the new growth hardens off
Do you leave these cuttings outdoors over winter?
Put them under cover during winter out of the weather
Which month is the best for cutting
Hi, I would recommend August / September
Can cuttings be taken in the Spring?
I think they can although I haven't tried that myself.
Hi. What do you mean to wait awhile for the roots to grow? How long is awhile - 3 weeks? 2 months? I really want to try this, but have NO IDEA when to check if it has rooted. thanks.
It's hard to say. Depends on many factors. Patients is key.
