- This week on The Horti-Culturalists Stephen is going to show us an uncommon method of propagation used for some of the trickier climbing plants that are otherwise hard to grow from seeds or cuttings; serpentine layering! We'll look at Stephen's Lapageria rosea 'Colibri' which is being layered in this way and show you exactly how to serpentine layer using a no ID Trachelospermum - Star jasmine that Stephen is keen to get multiple plants from. You can use this technique on most climbing plants and anything with long supple stems.
The plants we cover in this video are:
Lapageria rosea
Lapageria rosea 'Rosado Fuerte'
Lapageria rosea 'Colibri'
No ID Trachelospermum - Star jasmine

Hi Stephen & Matt Great method of producing more plants at a minimum of Fuss!!
Thanks again for sharing ur great ideas guys
Happy gardening 🌸👍
Thanks for watching!
For stems which are slightly more prone to snapping my cheeky trick is to knick the sides (of the pots) so that they can go more or less straight through and I don't have to bend them so much over the top of the pots.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information. I hope to try this method of propagation.
Best of luck! Regards Stephen
Hello - Thanks so much for the tutorial.
I have a confederate jasmine in a container & I would like to try this method of propogation in a few months. I'm in U.S. zone 8, Washington state. Since it's summer here, the jasmine is still blooming and smells so wonderful.
Our pleasure. Regards Stephen
I now know why I haven't had success with this method: I haven't been burying the stems deep enough. Thank you!!
Glad I could help! Regards Stephen
Great video. Very informative & helpful. Thanks.
Glad you liked it. Regards Stephen
Trachelospermum yunnanense is a synonym of Trachelospermum bodinieri
Thanks for the Information I will now do my research. It is alway a joy when viewers lend a hand. Regards Stephen
Thank you for this informative video.
Glad it was helpful! Regards Stephen
Fascinating episode, thank you both. Question : when can I cut down my tree dahlia that’s looking decidedly drab but still towers 3 mt into the sky? I’m on the surf coast, 4 kms inland.
Anytime from now if it looks tatty. Regards Stephen
Excellent show, thanks guys
Our pleasure! Regards Stephen
LOVE!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Regards Stephen
What is that cute five-lobed vine growing with the 'Rosado Fuerte' Lapageria at the beginning of the video?
The very weedy Tropaeolum ciliatum. Regards Stephen
Stephen, I ordered a Boston Ivy online from Denmark in the early winter of 2023 and planted it in my garden in the mountains of Crete soon after. It's planted near the trunk of a four-year-old Mulberry tree so not much direct sun. It took well but the leaves look much smaller than I was expecting. I don't know if I should expect the leaves to get bigger as it establishes or was I sent a miniature variety? My Virginia Creeper also starts with smaller leaves that get bigger over time but the Boston Ivy looks stunted.
It is probably struggling a bit due to lack of sun and root competition but the foliage will enlarge once it gets going. Keep it well watered and feed it to get it going. Regards Stephen
Lovely video, thank you. I have a question: can this technique work with really young unripe wood? Its midsummer here, and i would really like to give serpentine layering a go with my just recently bought pink star jasmine, but the suitable shoots are very green. Would they rot if i layer them now, or should i wait for the fall? I think keeping them moist should not be a huge problem - i have daily irrigation, and they would be in a shady spot. (Im in Willamette Valley in OR)
I would give it a go as for that plant I feel it would be fine at this time. Regards Stephen
Hi Stephen - I am keen to grow an Amelanchier but I’m worried it may be susceptible to pear & cheery slug ( I get A LOT of it) can you suggest an alternative small tree? Must be frost and drought tolerant. I am in the Southern Midlands of Tasmania. Thanks
You are right the Amelanchier is prone to pear slug so perhaps try a an Exochorda errata 'Snowwhite. not as big growning but doesn't seem to get the slug. Not sure if it available in Tasmania but Yamina Rare plants at Monbulk stock it mi Think. Regards Stephen
Snazzy, hi comrades, how hard do you think it would be to grow chiranthodendron from cuttings?
usually seed raised but worth a try. Regards Stephen
