I’m a huge fan of the channel, coming to you from Australia. I’d love to see an episode on your approach to fertilising / feeding, particularly you propagated cuttings. They are being rooted with little to no nutrient, so at what point do you start to feed your various cuttings. Maybe an idea for future content.
This was my first year with a backyard plant nursery. Next year, I'll definitely starting propagating from cuttings during the early summer. Great content as always. Thank you! 🌻
Propagation Time: Part 2 is almost upon us! Fall/early winter is also a great time to propagate some plants, with less hassle of watering, etc. Best wishes!
Great video again. I am in zone 8 and wonder how long to keep cuttings in trays before potting? Hydrangea are my main plant of choice. Thank you in advance.
Every plant is different, I have noticed with purple leaf sand cherries, semi hardwood cuttings don’t work as well as hard wood cuttings in the spring, same with weigelas, And spireas I can do year round, same as arbervatae . But with that being said, I don’t have my mist propagating system up and running yet so that probably plays a big factor. I can get away with out mist propagating keeping everything in the shade for the most part, but I know once I get the mist going I won’t have a problem with anything. I’ve managed to get great success with very little supplies and effort. Thanks for sharing.
If you keep them trimmed up, they make a gorgeous head of deep glossy green and beautiful, fragrant flowers twice a year or a big deal down here. Hopefully y’all will get a big deal up there and sell a lot.
Thank you for answering a few questions. I wasn't sure when to pot up from the baby size but it looks like you winter over until next year. Particularly the Limelight's. Definitely a learning curve on propagation but well worth the investment of time to learn. 🌱🌱🌱 Thank you for the perfect timing on this video👍🤗🌱
I really wished Green Giants would grow here I really do like them. I never thought about the dishpans to grow in I went down and bought 15 of them. I have some small storage containers I've been growing in but they are so thin they break easily . Thanks for the tips There always a help
Thank you for another great video. At what point do you start fertilizing your cuttings? And with what? I heard you say a liquid fertilizer. Started my hand at propagating, which wasn’t as successful as I hoped but wondering if I need to fertilize the few cuttings I have.
Is it best to propagate in the early, mid, or late spring? Is there a temperature that is best? Love you too! Would love to buy your plants, when you can ship. Toledo, Ohio
Depends on the plant, but generally, mid to late Spring is a good time to start with most plants. Or, start them over winter as hardwoods, again, depending on the plant.
A question for overwintering cuttings/seedlings. I started my plants a bit later than I would have liked and they were not very big. Do plants NEED to overwinter? If they are small and I have the grow lights indoors, can I just keep them going for the winter to get a bigger plant in the spring? I have a bunch of 3-4 inch tall english lavenders that I grew from seed and I would really like them to not freeze in my 6b zone. They are hardy to that level, but they are so small I don't think their little pots would keep them safe.
Most plants need a dormant period in order to continue growing. Kinda like humans need to sleep. Not that humans merely prefer sleep, but that it is essential to life.
We are wanting to start some propagation to be carried over the winter. Can arborvitae be propagated now and still root over the winner into spring? We were going to stick them in boxes which have sand. Or would a potting mix be better? Should we wait till later into October or November?
Sand is fine. You can start them now. They may not route before winter, but that’s OK. Just leave them alone, all the way through winter, and come spring, they will begin rooting very quickly.
How cold are your winters? I was thinking that Gardenia is considered a tropical plant and therefore they are sensitive to temperatures under 55 or 60 degrees.
I'm not a gardenia expert, but several varieties are hardy in zone 7, maybe colder. Chuck Hayes and "frost Proof are two examples. We typically get to about 10 degrees for our coldest temp here. Last year we went to 0.

Good topics.
Thank you for showing your Gardenias they look so good , you will sell them / the perfume in your nursery will be amazing.
Propagation is the best! Your nursery is growing exponentially! 🌱

@@turdferguson814 I should give it a try. I was worried that with me gardening in zone 5b it may be too late. Fingers crossed!
My mom told me, and I'm 68 yrs old, that the plants go dormant in winter but the roots keep growing. That's why I plant cuttings in the winter.
Love updates and love to see you doing well! Someone else used the word exponential, you really are growing exponentially! 👍🙏🏼👍🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing your story and your experience in this journey ❤
Roots!! I just love roots!!😀 Great job!! I love them all!

Everything is looking good! Happy to see I'm not the only one who was a bit behind with propagating cuttings.

Good thing about the cheap dishpans, they're good for a couple of seasons, sometimes more, and if they break, who cares? They cost a buck each.

I have 3 Gardenias about 4 foot a crossed and 15 foot tall time to get out in propagate Haven down here in Hotto Florida

Awesome. What do you have you channel set as in category? UA-cam don’t give us a gardening or nursery category.
No idea… not even sure what you’re referring to

@@savvydirtfarmer thank you
will you be selling the limelight in the spring? Will they be big enough?
I don't expect these to be ready til SPring 2025.
