While in lockdown took many cuttings from my garden lavender plants a month ago. Now have so many that we are supplying our neighbours. Thanks for your wonderful video.
By far the best lavender propagation video! You really go through each step thoroughly! I have learnt so much from your video. Just did my first cuttings! Thank you so much.
The plastic bin idea is genius. I was about to lose hope when you started talking about bringing the cutting inside with a humidity dome but then I saw what you were using. A plastic bin and lid, I do have!!! I'll be doing this with my lavender this weekend, thank you!
Good luck Alysa. Let me know how it goes. If you're doing this in northern hemisphere, be patient. I find that cuttings started in the fall are much slower to root than those I began in spring.
Pull off a heel from a main stem, trim off the upper leaves and shove it into a pot of multi-purpose peat-free compost outside, keeping the compost moist. Next spring you will have new plants. No hormone powder, perlite or fancy light boxes needed.
This is so useful. I have a piece of the boulevard in front of my house that I plan to plant in lavender, so this will be a good option, since it's City land so I don't want to spent a ton on multiple plants. Great instruction. Thanks.
This is a very clear and concise video, I really like the way the content is presented. I look forward to making cuttings of my lavender plants this spring based on the information I got here.
Found my guru....first video I've watched of yours...just very informative EVERY STEP of the process...no longer do I have to search and watch different videos...ur the only one for me...tysvm
You are so delicate in handling your sticks for propagation and so thorough. As always, Jason, it’s a pleasure to receive your instruction. We’re it possible two go back in time I definitely would dedicate my full-time to gardening. Thank you Jason.
Stumbled upon your channel - Yep - fabulously clear, concise, and consumable information. I'm a fan. I'm starting lavender now per your example/instructions. We'll see how it goes! Fingers crossed!
thanks so much! i followed your advice last year to save a dying lavender plant ! just rewatched this to repeat for more lavender varieties and for a rosemary plant! can’t wait to see the results in 2 months time 😊
Just found your page. Amazingly I was looking how to grow Rose's from hips and propagate lavender. I've done a lot previously but was spoiled living in coastal southern Calif. Literally no winter. Retired to high desert with extremes at both ends and at 4K feet. But there is tons of naturalized, natives, wild things here. Many neighbors with unkempt yards..lets just say they let the plants do their thing... are actually ripe for taking with their permission. I saw an overgrown rose Bush today hanging over a wall with hips all over and some on the ground. Even more interesting because we do get a winter here some people grow closer to English cottage garden in a native way. English lavendar does thrive here. A lady started a lavender ranch. Dries it. Makes oil. I only have one plant so far. Want to get more as we have 3/4 acre yard with nothing but a few trees. Glad to find your channel!
Thank you for teaching, I have just found you and I don't feel so scared to take cuttings. I am going to prepare to get cuttings from my old and neglected lavender plant before I lay it to rest next year.
Jason Thanks for the amazing videos! You have inspired me to build a propagation center and to mass produce cuttings. I currently have over 200 cuttings! Greetings from Texas!
A great video, I love lavender and roses I am creating a fragrant, garden on a tight budget so videos like yours are a godsend and worth their weight in gold! I really appreciate your help and time to share them! Thank you.
😌 Lavender touches four of our five senses; sight, smell, touch taste, and hearing. While sitting amongst my lavender bushes and a gentle rain begins to fall it’s a party for all five senses! 😊🕊
Hi Jason. I don't have lavender but I watched your video anyway. I like all you need to know kinda vids with great demos. I also really appreciate you using "degrees celcius". So many channels don't. Thanks!
Your videos are so relaxing, so filled with information, and essentially timeless. This particular one I've watched about a million times, and while I know your subscribers tell you all the time how perfectly concise and well thought out your videos are, I just have to say it again! You really are the BEST at conveying what we need to know in ways that make gardening so much less of a mystery! I could listen to you speak on just about any subject, but I'm so grateful that gardening and growing plants are your passion! Thank you again and again! Oh shoot, one quick question... did you get all the cuttings you stuck from just that one plant (in the middle) that you showed us at the beginning? That was A LOT of cuttings!
The rooting happens SO MUCH FASTER in Spring than in the fall! I've had some lavender cuttings stuck for about 3 weeks, and while I can see some rooting, it's no where near as much as you have at 2 weeks. I did assume this would be the case, but I only learned about rooting plants in August. I hope these will do okay, but I look forward to using what I've learned next spring. Thanks for all your help!
You bet - and I see you're starting some lavender production yourself! Way to go. Interesting that you've gone with the large grow bags to get started. I'd be interested to hear about your planning.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm we aren’t in a spot yet where we can permanently plant in the ground, so we decided large grow bags would work well as we’re learning - room to grow, good drainage, and potentially transportable when the time comes.
I have watched 2 of your videos and my mind is blown! Great tip about using the storage bins for humidity 👌I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos, :)
Some new top growth have stopped misting and opened the rotational hole vents fully , looks like their taking , its happening lol increasing air flow through lifting lids slipping pencil underneath , lavender and rosemary are my nemesis when it comes to cutting failures haha going to post to my Instagram ainsworth.Joshua when I have the guts to see if we have roots
You advised me that Fall lavendar cuttings would work, just take longer to root. I'm happy to say that I had 95% success thanks to your good instruction. January now and they are ready to up pot. 😊
Mind blow! This is amazing. I've never used a rooting hormone. I subbed so I can see the follow-up videos. What a clever trick to use the clear tote as a cloche.
Thank you for this video. I have had a lavender plant for many years now. I think it is French Lavender - it has blueish flowers rather than the reddish ones and I like it better. We have had a very wet summer with recent extreme rain and floods and it appears to be suffering, even though it is planted on top of a low retaining wall of concrete blocks. I took some cuttings the other day and now realize I have not done them well. So I have modified the ones I did and will take some more. The plant (what is left of it) is flowering and there are not that many tips without flowers. I am just about to watch your video on growing from seed and will see if I can do that as well. I do want to keep this plant and this particular one has not appeared in local nurseries for years. Thanks for sharing.😀
I just watched your video on types of laveder and I think the one I've got is Lavendula dentata - it very definitely has the toothed leaves, is grey and the flowers do not have a very strong smell. It seems to work better in my garden except obviously when we have excessive rain. tfs
Any chance that every time you refer to certain lavender that you could have a picture of it and also name the 3 different types you show at the beginning? Gratefully appreciate everything you've shown so comprehensive and professional!
Thank you for the videos. I'm a lavender farmer (Grosso to oil only) and it has been about 15 years since I propagated and planted. I wanting to help a class of 4th and 5th graders (I'm also a teacher) propagate lavender. We are in the beginning of the school year and my lavender has just been harvested/pruned. I have learned that I can taken cuttings from my Grosso plants now so kids can plant these and watch the growth I the fall. Do you see any problem with this and do you have advice? Thanks!!
Hi...ive tried so many times to propagate lavender and save cuttings..with no success..YET..im still eager to keep trying..i guess timing is a key!thank you
Sorry to break in off topic. On another of your wonderful videos you briefly mentioned something about unique characteristics of growing Mexican mint marigold from seed. I started some along with French marigold mixed colors. The former is performing poorly while the Frenchies are stupendous. What is my problem? Thanks.
I just realized I heard the accent then Fraser valley. I we t to your webpage then looked on map. My parents Scottish. Moved to England where sister and I boen. Off to Vancouver BC age 2 to 7. Then to Anaheim calif. USA. I always feel more Canadian even though I'm 65 now. Wish my parents had stayed. Wish closer I'd be getting plants. Meanwhile greatly appreciate the videos. Good luck in future.
I was envying the southern California climate, then I read in another of your comments that you're now in a high desert area . I bet that has some challenges! Probably fairly nice for lavender though.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm yes very challenging. But the lavender didnt even die with 2 days snow on it. Unique area. Home if Mt Whitney. Tallest USA continental mountain. Small town but usually high tourist. Hard times. This town is also where they made all the westerns with John Wayne! I'm so excited to try roses. They do well here. Even dying back to ground. One large estate has gone to ruin because grandkids are living off inventions of the grandfather. But many roses are left to climb over the walls. The rose hips are on the ground now. I'm sure no one cares if I take those and a few cuttings. Its super windy here at times between two mountain ranges so cant have tent like greenhouses but working out an area to have a nursery shelf by a window in my sewing studio. I was mainly in coastal Calif. I did the 2 liter soda bottle thing right in the ground there for geraniums etc. I was spoiled. But will learn this area. That big house had a giant glass greenhouse too but it's all busted up now. I'm watching all your videos now. Thanks for replying.
Hi Allister - it's a prepared mix (Promix) I used for propagation. The brand will vary from market to market, but the important thing is that it's not a fertilized potting mix and it drains well
Thank you for your videos. I realize how wrong I was going everything for taking cuttings and rooting them. I love your step by step instructions and taking steps to correct my mistakes. Thank you thank you thank you. 🙏🏾💕🙏🏾
Love your videos! You referred to a special bark mix you use for potting things to grow them larger from cuttings (roses, lavender, etc)...do you have a recipe for that mix? Thanks!
Hi Lisa - I use a commercially prepared mix from a local potting soil supplier. If I can pin him down for some more details, I'll add a video on the topic.
Hi Jason. I started some soft wood lavender cuttings exactly as you you did except no rooting hormone. I kept them in a shady spot under a humidity dome. after about 6 weeks about 30% of them started turning brown and dying back from the top. When I potted them up, they had rooted and may survive anyway. any ideas???
My first through is that black leaves on lavender indicates too much moisture, humidity. That said, I've also seen it happen when they face a severe drought and then melt down afterwards.
Great video, right on point, Jason as always. These “grow from cuttings videos” are difficult because even if you follow the procedure to a T, it’s impossible to duplicate the care after the cutting is dropped in the soil. I feel most of us fail at taking proper care of the cutting and as a result we lose the cutting either due to too much humidity (therefore fungal growth) or too little humidity (therefore drying out) or too much watering (root rot) or too little watering. It’s just hard to know what the proper care is. I guess it comes with experience, after you lose so many cuttings
I checked on the humidity (for condensation within the dome) once per day - and sprayed as needed. Ended up being every 2nd day or so. Yes, a composted bark mix.
Thank you for another wonderful video, your instructions have been very helpful! I wonder if you deadhead lavenders? If yes, could you please explain how to do that correctly?
Yes. You just cut the flowering stems down on the first flush - generally early on, so you can enjoy them as cut stems or dry them for later use. An early cut will often result in a second flush of blooms within 6 to 8 weeks.
Outstanding video,very informative with no annoying music or background distraction. Can you elaborate on the bark mix you use for the transplant.Thanks.
When I germinate seeds I just put them in a wet paper towel, inside a closed zip lock bag. Germinates super fast. I'm going to use this method for propagation and see what happens.
It is late spring here in Calif, I have an English lavender that I’d like to propagate. Is it too warm to do this? What are the temperatures that lavender likes to be propagated in? I love lavender, and am hoping I can do this!
Hi, i live in a relatively isolated and small village in Morocco. i have learned much from your experience taking care of my beautiful garden with its useful plants that's to say how global and universal is the goodness of your channel, big thanks from this small distant place, please i have question : from your experience, which brands of rooting hormones do you recommend? Cordially .
Thanks. I've mainly used StimRoot, because that's what's available here on the local market. I've also tried Hormodin, and it works about the same. I haven't seen (so far) that brand is very important.
I realize that there may be different circumstances involved, but I did the same thing with my lavender, (Hidcote) but did not use hormone nor a dome just put in shade and they all rooted just fine. I used a combination of 50% potting mix and 50% coarse sand. So if you don't have hormone or a dome, try it anyway
I have. Lavender that survived north Florida. My question is when you were rooting, WHEN did you REMOVE pre-drill holes pan from on top of your new roofing’s?
Hi Charlene. For the first 10 days, I left it on all the time. When I saw initial rooting, I took the dome off for partial days for 2 or 3 days. No wilting, so I left it off entirely after that. But you shouldn't follow my timing - rooting times will vary. Wait until you see some strong callus or roots before trying to remove the dome - and watch for wilting
What is the name of that rooting tray? I don’t know how to call it. I want to have one to make the cutting process. I’m growing a Lavender here in Malaysia it’s quite hot here. Please help and reply me sir 🙇🏻♂️
Anytime in the active growing season, but only after I've potted up into approx. 1 gallon sized pot and it's well rooted. Generally that's the following spring for me.
Hi Amar. I use a composted wood product - peat/perlite is good too. Coir would be fine. Garden soil generally is too heavy and has soil rot organisms that reduce success.
Finding lots to work with here. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I've a question pertaining to the time the cuttings are under the humidity dome. Specifically, the schedule (if any) of light from the lamp. Is it always on? If not, for how long is it on? Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your video! I’m a beginner and find it hard to figure out the soil differences. Could you do a video on planting your new lavender, and how many cuttings your using per pot? Or each cutting is a separate plant? Sorry if this is a stupid question 😆
I've never heard anyone explain *why* you choose certain stalks for cuttings over others, that's really helpful. Thank you for the fantastic info!
My pleasure Rose

I checked on the humidity (for condensation within the dome) once per day - and sprayed as needed. Ended up being every 2nd day or so. Yes, a composted bark mix.
So you misted when there was no condensation? Do you mean a bark mulch or a top soil that is obviously just a finer bark mulch?
@@janefraley9463 lift off the lid, mist inside the lid and over the plants. Everyday. 3 times if you want but once is fine.
Thank you for another wonderful video, your instructions have been very helpful! I wonder if you deadhead lavenders? If yes, could you please explain how to do that correctly?
Yes. You just cut the flowering stems down on the first flush - generally early on, so you can enjoy them as cut stems or dry them for later use. An early cut will often result in a second flush of blooms within 6 to 8 weeks.
Clear concise instructions. Thanks!
My pleasure. Glad to help.
Outstanding video,very informative with no annoying music or background distraction.
Can you elaborate on the bark mix you use for the transplant.Thanks.
I LOVE Lavender!! Thanks for your video.
Thanks for the video. I love lavender and will continue to watch your videos and try to grow some. 🦋💕
Thanks Joanne. Good luck
When I germinate seeds I just put them in a wet paper towel, inside a closed zip lock bag. Germinates super fast. I'm going to use this method for propagation and see what happens.
Would I do Rosemary the same? could they be in the same container with the lavender?
Yes, all the same method and definitely could do in the same container (with labels, of course)
It is late spring here in Calif, I have an English lavender that I’d like to propagate. Is it too warm to do this? What are the temperatures that lavender likes to be propagated in? I love lavender, and am hoping I can do this!
Hi, i live in a relatively isolated and small village in Morocco. i have learned much from your experience taking care of my beautiful garden with its useful plants that's to say how global and universal is the goodness of your channel, big thanks from this small distant place, please i have question : from your experience, which brands of rooting hormones do you recommend? Cordially .
Thanks. I've mainly used StimRoot, because that's what's available here on the local market. I've also tried Hormodin, and it works about the same. I haven't seen (so far) that brand is very important.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much for considering my question , it's very nice of you 🙂
I realize that there may be different circumstances involved, but I did the same thing with my lavender, (Hidcote) but did not use hormone nor a dome just put in shade and they all rooted just fine. I used a combination of 50% potting mix and 50% coarse sand. So if you don't have hormone or a dome, try it anyway
I have. Lavender that survived north Florida. My question is when you were rooting, WHEN did you REMOVE pre-drill holes pan from on top of your new roofing’s?
Hi Charlene. For the first 10 days, I left it on all the time. When I saw initial rooting, I took the dome off for partial days for 2 or 3 days. No wilting, so I left it off entirely after that. But you shouldn't follow my timing - rooting times will vary. Wait until you see some strong callus or roots before trying to remove the dome - and watch for wilting
could not find your video on growing lavender from seed
Thanks, here it is: ua-cam.com/video/BBgZz3Q0JXY/v-deo.html
Thank you! I'm about to go get some cuttings from my neighbors plant 😃
What is the name of that rooting tray? I don’t know how to call it. I want to have one to make the cutting process. I’m growing a Lavender here in Malaysia it’s quite hot here. Please help and reply me sir 🙇🏻♂️
It's a 105-cell plug tray. Good luck with your cuttings!
Great Info! Thank You! Wonder why trimming off the top?
I have good results with a smaller size - there are no roots at first, so too many leaves left on the stem can run the risk of drying out the cutting.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank You!
Thanks for this!! I'm going to give this a try in my aeroponics system.
Thank you for your examples and explanation. What time of year do you actually plant in garden.
Anytime in the active growing season, but only after I've potted up into approx. 1 gallon sized pot and it's well rooted. Generally that's the following spring for me.
thoroughly enjoy your no waffle videos,very informative. great idea with the tub and lid and i like how you explain why in certain situations.
Tell me about media mix for stem propagation
Hi Amar. I use a composted wood product - peat/perlite is good too. Coir would be fine. Garden soil generally is too heavy and has soil rot organisms that reduce success.
Great video...very detailed information. And the technique you use is super efficient!
Hi , thanks for the help.
Great video..
How many hours a day do you keep the light's on..?
Thank you getting on my lavender cuttings right now
Good luck Nancy
I love watching your lavender videos! I bought several varieties of lavender today!Thank you for sharing, subscribed!😁😁😁
Awesome video it was super helpful!! Is the rooting powder a must or will the cuttings do alright without them?
The cuttings will just root faster with the hormone, but you can succeed without it if the growing conditions are right
Finding lots to work with here. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I've a question pertaining to the time the cuttings are under the humidity dome. Specifically, the schedule (if any) of light from the lamp. Is it always on? If not, for how long is it on? Thanks again!
Forgive me! I just watched your video "How much light do cuttings need?" Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your video! I’m a beginner and find it hard to figure out the soil differences. Could you do a video on planting your new lavender, and how many cuttings your using per pot? Or each cutting is a separate plant? Sorry if this is a stupid question 😆
