- In this video I show you how to take a Semi-ripe cutting of Griselinia. Going into great detail about the specifics of the method. I also explain the do's and don'ts of preparing a cutting. This is a general method with up to date information to give you the best results.
Might be worth mentioning that cuttings newly cut and propagated will "Sulk" . Where the plant looks like it's failing , it will recover, it's a natural process. Great video btw
Yes great point!
excellent video Thanks
Thanks for your feedback 👍
That's looks very good my friend well done my friend much love God bless 🙌
Good on you Mike, very informative will try all this & let you know 👍🤞
Thank you for the feedback, good luck with your cuttings 🤞
Well explained and thanks for sharing Mike.
Thanks for the feedback 😊
Great info! How long would the roots take to form?
It does vary but I usually find by the 6 month mark you will have some roots however it is weather dependent. Some years I have strong plants by spring and other years I have only a few weak roots beginning to form by spring.
I had no idea you could root Woody plants like that. I wonder if that would work with a Japanese maple? I guess I'll find out. Thanks Mike Good video 👍
good information, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching watching 👍
very good
Cheers 👍
I did griselina cuttings in October last year following your video ( great video, well explained) and they still have not rooted in March, should I simply leave them a bit longer or or they a lost cause
Hi there, thanks for watching.
As long as they are looking healthy, they will be fine. There are many reasons why they might not have rooted yet; weather, quality of the soil or compost, moisture in the soil/compost, if there are weeds they are competing with, I could write a very long list, but my point is that as long as the cuttings are healthy, they should root given time.
Thank you again for watching and for asking the question 👍🌱
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks for your straight forward, down to earth advice
Mike, I contacted you a few weeks ago. Some of the griselina have started to root (very small roots) and some haven't ( even though they are showing a little new leaf), but they all starting to look quite wilted and not as healthy as they did a few weeks ago. Should I simply take a chance and pot them up or should I give them another few weeks? Also should I pot them into small or large pots? Thanking you in advance
Thank you for your comment.
There's two ways I'd go about this. Firstly, I'd consider getting an old dish or tray, and putting about half an inch of water in the bottom and just putting all of the pots with cuttings in that to soak. I think this would help if they are wilting.
The other suggestion I'd give you would be, if you are able to, plant them into the ground in a shaded place and forget about them until summer. I think the issue is, we have had a very mild winter, atleast in my area, and I find that they do better if they have a few frosts. As my cuttings are only now getting decent roots whereas usually I'd expect them to be well rotted by April-May.
As to pot size, if you have any 9cm pots or something similar which is narrow with a decent height for the roots to grow. After twelve months, pot then on again into 1 litre pots.
At this stage they can be planted where they are to grow or you can pot them on again into a 3 or 5 litre. I would keep them potted much more than this, as they will take longer to settle and grow once planted.
I hope this helps, please do keep me posted on this as I'd be interested to hear your results.
Good luck 🙂
@@CultivatingCountryLife thank you, I will try that and let you know. Cheers again.
