How To Take Plant Cuttings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2017
- This video explains how to take cuttings from plants in order to propagate and create more plants. This type of stem cutting works on most plants and is probably one of the easiest. I also explain the science behind cuttings and where on the stem it needs to be cut. The example used is the water method. This type of cutting is called a softwood cutting, its suitable for many plants but always double check online or in book to see which type of cutting will work best for your particular plant.
Thanks for watching

So like hypothetically I could go to a garden centre with a bag and some scissors and never have to buy one again 👀
You're a genius
Yup!
@@not-a-boar3148 potato famine
Ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣 Right!!!
I do it with pond plants 😎😂
Little anxious to try this. My parents had a lovely cherry tree in the garden. Sadly they're selling the house, so I'll be trying to get some cuttings from it before they sell it, to try and preserve some of my childhood memories.
I'm doing the same with my Grandma's roses 🌹
If it's not too late, you should look into air-layering it.
@Oscar Zamora ??? What's your problem???
There's nothing wrong with wanting to preserve some part of something that has a lot of meaning to you.
Did you manage to grow the cuttings?
Toby Walker what’s that?
I did this by accident. I love picking flowers on my walks. 3 weeks ago picked a thick sterm plant. 3 weeks later its rooting in my cup. Its my little miracle plant baby.
As a biologist, I really like how scientific you got, down to apical meristems! Very cool vid, well done!
I took two cuttings from my mint plant, just to check if this really worked the way you said. It worked splendidly! The two new mint plants are growing new roots and they're even starting to grow little stems from the bottom node. They're so beautiful.
THANK YOU. Sometimes I'll be walking around and I see a plant and I think. " man I want that"and now I can 👌👌
I love how you sectioned the plant in half to show the transportation system and explain how the nodes work. Fantastic! I've tried this method with Tradescantia and it worked beautifully. I'm currently trying this with my poor Dahlia who has been destroyed by aphids and slugs. Fingers crossed, hopefully it works too!
I'm glad you've enjoyed my video, this method works on most plants that have stems although some are easier than others. Your Dahlia should root with this method, just watch out for rot as Dahlia cuttings often rot easily if the water is not changed enough.
@@Gardeningat58N Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure I change the water regularly!🙏☺️🌸
Would love to see a timelapse of the rooting process
This
Thought you said rotting for a second lol
best explanation i've ever heard on this topic - thanks very much for the clarity !
Helpful
Now I’m never going to buy a new plant again mwahaha
Anthony PC how’s propagation going? I have a bunch of obvious plants propagating like pathos and cactus... wondering what else I can do
@@okaymom4165 lmao same
Sir, I thank you for providing this well-detailed yet concise explanation of plants and root cuttings. Many people don’t appreciate plants but after watching your video, I hope they do!
THANKS! For your uncompromising clarity. Clear explanations, in simple terms, are a guarantee on this channel.
finally a video that is well explained!!!! I have been trying to propagate plants for like ever with no luck. Ive put them in water, cut it at a slant, put them straight into medium after covering it with root stimulating powder, all dried out. Now that i know where to cut it, i am excited to try again!!! Thanks!
I did this experiment when I was only 10 years old in Haiti. I used a lamp bulb with water and cut out a branch of the flowers. It worked out like magic. I never saw anyone did it before.
Interesting, I’m trying to grow a plant from a leaf I found in Florida. Apparently, it’s a popular lougouwa Haitian plant.
@@essys1991 Make sure it's outside exposing to the sun.
Thank you for fully explaining how plants actually root this way! I now know why I haven't been able to root in water! Thank you!!
So useful to watch this. Thanks for explaining about plant stems and the nodes. We’ve got a few on the go, and I think this will help us improve the growth of our cuttings.
This helped so much. I wondered why the first piece I cut rotted below a certain part
Thank you so much for explaining the process so clearly. I find it much easier to remember how to do something when I know why it's done a certain way.
Great, easy to follow explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. My pothos is thriving and I’m going to give this a try! Thank you!
Thank you so much. This was really helpful for a gardening novice like me. Can't wait to try it ⚘
the basil is immense, really simple helpful video, going to do this for mint
Good luck with your mint, mint cuttings are even easier than basil cuttings.
That is very helpful, thank you. Hoping that you will expand on this a little more soon.
Excellent. Exactly what I needed to know. I accidently snapped a sunflower stem today on a very healthy plant and was really bummed about it. There are plenty of other similar sized stems on this plant but it waa still disappointing. I'm going to try to follow your advice and see if I can't get some roots to grow in water at the node of the broken stem and hopefully transplant it.
very informative and precise! thank you. Great looking Basil plant there too.
Thanks
Very good video! Your explanations are excellent. Thanks again.
Excellent video, articulately explained. Thank you.🙂
That was exactly what I needed, thank you!
This was so helpful and concise and well-explained! Thank you so much ❤️
I'm glad it was helpful.
Excellent video! Really well explained and clear. Thanks for this.
Wow you're Wonderful...Mother Earth is truly Magical 🌱🌿
Amazing video! So informative. Thank you so much. I feel much more confident in taking clippings and caring for my propagations.
Thanks, good luck with your cuttings.
excellent video thanks for sharing all that knowledge.
Amazing explanation, I'm brand new to gardening and I got an allotment this year and its my first time ever, this is so helpful because I had no idea.
It also makes growing and gardening 100x cheaper LOL
You earned a new sub
You’re a great instructor. Taught me everything I wanted to know. And I’m the type to ask 100 questions. Awesome stuff, thank you for this!
Thanks, I'm glad you found my video educational.
This was a terrific video: the explanation is so informative. Thank you very much.
Excellent explanation and demonstration!
Thank you so much, this is the best explanation and demonstration on how to succeed at cuttings, cheers
Thank you. Love that you explained the science behind the method
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the tips!
Learned a couple of things, really informative.
1) The mother plant looks really really vigorous and healthy. What is the secret? :)
2) Do you keep the mother plant in full sun/half sun?
3) What do you feed it and how often?
4) And lastly, info about watering schedule please.
I keep the Mother plant on a bright south east facing windowsill which get a little direct sunlight first thing in the morning and then just indirect bright light for the rest of the day. I feed it regularly, about once a week, with a feed high in nitrogen which encourages it to grow large healthy leaves. Because its in such a small pot I actually water it about twice a day, but I only water it once the pot feels very light as if its kept damp all the time the roots will start to rot.

Brilliant video once again buddy! 👌👌 Great information and very helpful for a novice such as myself. I’ve contracted the gardening bug. This weekend I’ve bought a fan plan, 2 hardy fuschia, honeysuckle and 2 lupins! Now I’m the process of hunting all over Glasgow for a fairly nice plant pot as they’re all sold in those unsightly brown plastic delights.... oh the wonder of being a woman who likes fancy stuff 😂😂😂 Have a good one and thanks for all the brill info 🎖🎖🎖
Thank you for such an informative video. Really appreciate you making this.
This is an excellent video, thank you Mister 58 North!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic! Thank you for this.
Your Basil plant looks so good and healthy! I think I will try and plant one! Thanks for this video because I have a plant that is really growing and part of it is hanging down from my table. Now I know how to cut it at the right places before putting it in water to grow roots and to eventually replant them in soil. Thanks again!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you found my video useful, did you also watch my basil video which goes into more detail about using this technique on Basil plants?
No but I will check out the more detailed video with the basil.
Many thanks. This is clear and easy.
This. Is. FASCINATING! Great presentation. Subbed.
Thanks and welcome
Very helpful and interesting. Thank you
Excellent explanation of the cutting site selection
Really good video!! Thanks!
I do this with the Geraniums I love. Don’t see them often in nurseries so I still can have it. I root them with potting soil under grow lights. This year I plant to take more cuttings.
Excellent video!
Thanks so much for the info. Really appreciate it. 🙂
So informative, thank you
I don’t know how I ended up on this video but it is very informativeee🤣😂💯👍
Thanks alot, this was very Insightful and full of Scientific content. Great Job 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you found it insightful.
Many thanks for this super video and crystal clear explanations. Super..
very informative, thank you! :)
Brilliant, thank you 😊
Wow!! Thanks very much bro.. I'll give it a try and give feedback
Hello, I've been looking how to take and grow cuttings from my neighbours honeysuckle plant which has grown over my wall, and there seems to be a lot of different advice. I live in the uk, in sussex which generally has pretty good sunny summers. Some videos say you can take green wood cuttings in early spring, some say wait til mid summer. Another one I read said to wait until the wood hardens and take in mid to late summer. Then, most videos say to cut the cuttings and strip the bottom two nodes like in your vid, some say to dip in rooting hormone, others to soak in water then pot in soil. One video said you can dip the cutting in a cup of previously boiled water which was mixed with honey then cooled before dipping to give the cutting nutrients, then to plant in damp soil in a pot. Some would then say leave the cuttings in a partially sunny spot, others would say put the potted cutting inside a plastic bag and leave in a fairly sunny spot, and check it regularly and keep the soil damp to wet
Then others say to put the cutting in water like you have with the basil. What do you think is the best method?
I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts, as you seem to very knowledgable. Many thanks :) (I've subscribed also)
I took a cutting from my dad’s honeysuckle and put in a jar with water and it grew roots then planted in my garden .. it is now growing so large it covers the wall result !
Great stuff mate
Thanks
thank you , so helpful !
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful.
Very informative cheers
Nice video, thanks.
Oh my god , thank you for this video ,I have looked all over the internet for a detailed video for cuttings of a polka dot plant and finally I've found one, thank you sooo much
Nice. Thank you.
Thank you very well explained top man
Wow! Excellent video! Thank you! What's the best technique for the mint family?
That's interesting seeing it in terms of nodes and conduits. It's like the roads that lead to towns and cities - start a new "business" (new roots, branches, leaves) at the crossroads where all the traffic meets and mingles (the node), whereas if you open a stall on the side of a busy road then your business will have a much harder time getting started and may just rot away.
Very interesting since I’m growing mints and basil
My dogs taken up gardening and almost daily uproots and brings me the same azalea 🌺 bush. I will save my mums flowers! 😅
thx i needed this for my project
I hope it helps :)
So we don't need to use growth hormone! This is fantastic! Brilliantly explained.
wow! you got so beautiful and healthy basilic there the leaves are really big...I just bought a basilic plants and let it grow again after finishing the leaves for my pesto...now I dont need to throw those basilic pots from the grocery....thanks a lot for the knowledge.
nylah Gutzman basilick is a Mythological creature
no that's a basilisk not a basilic.
thanks so verrrrrry much. where would I be without this... question: I have my eye on two summer climbers here down under in NZ...they have beautiful flowers, so is it the same process. Thanks, mate.
Thx that’s helpful
This is very interesting! I didn’t realize that the nodes are the structure that is capable of producing roots! I collect orchids, and orchids do the same (flowers and keikis come from nodes). I heard of this method to speed up rooting on a cutting. First plant several beans on cotton and water. When the beans sprout, place then (without the cotton balls) in a blender with some water. Turn it on. Let the liquid be very homogenous. (I’m not sure you are supposed to filter it or not), then you can use this growth hormone directly into the soil or spread it on the stem cutting and them placing it in the water. It is supposed to speed growth and encourage new roots.
I've never tried that before, but it may work because of the high hormones levels. Usually hormones are not required as the plant will produce its own after a few days, but they can speed things up, especially commercial rooting hormones.
Thank you
Hi, thank you for this clear and informative video. You answered a lot of my questions. Could you advise me on taking cuttings from Drimys, is it the same method?
Very helpful 👌
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much! Ive been taking cuttings forEVer but now I have some understanding of why to cut where. You said to change water every few days, but all i usually do is top it off. Can you say more about the why of this?❤️❤️
interested in doing the same though where do you get your water from and do you treat it with anything? I have tried from the tap and my cuttings keep not growing roots.
Thank you.
Brilliant video . Liked subbed. 8-)
Hi, the lower part of the plant cutting, which goes in the soil must have nods or not? Roots come out from nods in the soil or not always? Thx
Gardening gang gang!
Hello great video, can i follow the same process with geraniums and plant straight into soil?
been having nightmare luck with basil from morrisons lately. Bought two pots and they all both died. Will try this method to see if I can create a working cutting from the mother plant! (hopefully before they all die!)
It should work well, I have made a video all about propagating basil which you might find useful, it's called: 'Basil, how to grow more than you can eat'
Hi mate is it the same for shrubs
Really super
thank you. Very informative. how do you get your plant to look so dark green.
I use a feed high in nitrogen which encourages large healthy leaves, the feed also has a little bit of iron in it which helps to produce a darker green. Also I give the plant plenty of light, but no direct midday sun
What potting mix did you use?
What's the best approach for a ficus Ginseng?? Thanks in advance 🙂
300 like !!! thanks for the info
Hi, thank you very much for your video. It is most helpful. DO you know if the plant periscaria is water or soil rooting regarding taking cuttings? Also can I do this at this time of the year? Thank you.
Thanks, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Its normally easy enough just to divide the plant up as it slowly spreads along the surface. Just have a look the the edge of a clump and dig out some shoots which have roots attached. You could also try the soil method as this is probably best compared with the water method. Although its now becoming a little late in the year for cuttings, but a good time of year to divide a plant.
Will this type of planting help in ixora species?
thanks
This is dope as hell
I have 2 cuttings from a Basil plant, put them in water for a week or so but no roots has started yet.
Do you have advices to give me? Thanx
